In today's business environment, each department of an organization has to balance various important tasks with increasingly limited resources. For example, as the chief operating and financial ...

The authors present three approaches that a contract development and manufacturing organization can consider when designing development and process-optimization studies that will provide useful data ...

Critical process parameters (CPPs) and their associated process controls are crucial to drug development and process validation and to the evaluation of every manufacturing unit operation. "…. These ...

New integration and patterning schemes used in 3D memory and logic devices have created manufacturing and yield challenges. Industrial focus has shifted from the scaling of predictable unit processes ...

Process engineers and integrators can use virtual process modeling to test alternative process schemes and architectures without relying on wafer-based testing. One important aspect of building an ...

Designers rely on the accuracy of Process Design Kits (PDK¡¦s) for their IC designs. This paper describes independent verification of the PDK accuracy using a low-cost Die Level Process Monitor (DLPM) ...
