The TEL team will work alongside SEMATECH engineers at CNSE's Albany NanoTech Complex to advance extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUVL) and related infrastructure - including mask defect reduction, mask metrology, source, resist processing, etch, and overall manufacturability and extensibility of the technology.

Die Miniaturisierung von elektronischen Bauteilen verlangt nach immer sensibleren Messgeraeten. Wissenschaftler vom Departement Physik der Universitaet Basel haben nun die Messmethode der Rasterkraftmikroskopie weiterentwickelt, um atomare Wechselwirkungskraefte in einer bisher unerreichten Genauigkeit zu messen.

Key materials providers of the semiconductor industry joined hands with IME and members of the Consortium in the development of a cost-effective TSV process integration and manufacturing capability on 300mm wafers.

Numerous research groups around the world are inspired by the biomineralization processes found in nature - the process by which living organisms produce inorganic materials (minerals) found in bones, teeth, or shells. In this process, the formation of the mineral is controlled with great precision by specialized organic biomolecules such as sugars and proteins. Whereas the fabrication of many man-made crystals requires elevated temperatures and strong chemical solutions, nature's organisms have long been able to lay down elaborate mineral structures at ambient temperatures. Being able to duplicate nature's 'production process' would potentially allow for much simpler and 'greener' fabrication technologies than the ones employed today. To that end, researchers have developed a new nanofabrication methodology to generate crystalline oxide semiconductor nanopatterns under mild conditions.

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. announced today that it has begun mass producing the industry's first low-power four gigabit DDR3 devices using 40 nanometer class process technology.

ALLVIA, the first through-silicon via (TSV) foundry, has integrated embedded capacitors on Silicon Interposers, a key interface between a silicon device and an organic substrate needed for managing high interconnect densities.

With immediate effect, the Carl Zeiss AG Supervisory Board has elected Dr. Theo Spettmann as the new Chairman of the Supervisory Board.
