Truck buyers chasing six-figure odometer readings face a straightforward pattern in federal safety records: the pickups that ...

Materials scientists at Rice University have developed a new workflow methodology for measuring microscopic defects in ...

Tunneling defects in disordered materials form spurious two-level systems which are a major source of decoherence for micro-fabricated quantum devices. For superconducting qubits, defects in tunnel ...

Today’s commercial SiC substrates are riddled with these atomic-scale imperfections, with thousands threading through each ...

Defects in transistors, such as unwanted impurities and broken chemical bonds in the various layers of the semiconductor, can limit their performance and reliability. These defects are becoming harder ...

TSMC exposed the defect density (D0) of its N2 process technology relative to its predecessors at the same stage of development at its North American Technology Symposium this week. According to the ...

Semiconductors based on gallium-nitride (GaN) substrates are increasingly important in the power-device landscape. Their thermal conductivity, and thus their ability to conduct and dissipate heat, is ...

Chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) is required during semiconductor processing of many memory and logic devices. CMP is used to create planar surfaces and achieve uniform layer thickness during ...
