Etching seems like such an old-fashioned technique ... with patterns printed on a silicon wafer. And there is one machine in the world that does that. Advanced Semiconductor Materials Lithography ...

This system is limited to non-metal samples and currently is used for the etching of silicon oxide, silicon and descumming samples before metal deposition. It can process wafers up to 10 inches.

The solar industry recently welcomed the largest silicon solar cell manufacturing outfit to ever open its doors within the ...

The narrow, deep holes required for one type of flash memory are made twice as fast with the right recipe, which includes a plasma made from hydrogen fluoride.

Headquartered in Fremont, California, Lam Research supplies wafer fabrication equipment and services to chipmakers. When ...

The pedagogical model of the integrated circuit goes something like this: take a silicone wafer, etch out a few wells, dope some of the silicon with phosphorous, mask some of the chip off ...

This process is a plasma-based etching technique that yields deep holes and trenches with steep sides in silicon wafers. The researchers utilized a Si substrate with a thickness of 40 µm to ...
