The shift from planar SoCs to 3D-ICs and advanced packages requires much thinner wafers in order to improve performance and reduce power, reducing the distance that signals need to travel and the ...
Metamaterials—the term may sound esoteric to the layman. In science and engineering, however, this is an interesting field of ...
UNSW researchers boosted TOPCon solar cell efficiency by locally thinning the rear poly-Si layer, reducing parasitic absorption while preserving wafer integrity. The champion cell built with this ...
The lapping process involves thinning wafers from the back with a rotating abrasive surface. It is important to receive precise feedback as the process is carried out to monitor the quantity of ...
Hongyuan Green Energy says it has produced a first batch of 40 µm monocrystalline silicon wafers that support full-size and half-cut formats, with slicing completed using the company’s in-house ...
For decades, chipmakers squeezed more transistors onto processors by shrinking them sideways. That playbook is running out of ...
A silicon wafer is a thin slice of crystalline silicon typically grown using the Czochralski process, which involves pulling a crystal seed from a molten silicon bath. A silicon wafer is a thin slice ...
A research team develops an assembly method for atomically thin crystals at the wafer-scale. Lego blocks, beloved by both children and adults, can be assembled into set models like space shuttles or ...
