With semiconductor feature sizes continuing to shrink, the variability arising from process technologies such as strained silicon, as well as the manufacturing processes themselves at 45 nm and below, ...

3D-ICs are proving a challenge even for designers accustomed to dealing with power and performance tradeoffs, but they are considered an inevitable migration path for leading-edge designs due to the ...

As semiconductor designs move to advanced process nodes, timing closure becomes significantly more challenging. At 7nm, traditional optimization techniques often fall short due to increased process ...

Global process owners should be notified of any change to a process variation, enabling them to retain oversight and control. Manufacturers must have the ability to compare and report on all the ...

As DRAM technologies scale to increasingly tighter pitches, the patterning requirements exceed the limits of conventional single-exposure DUV lithography. In advanced nodes such as D1b (1-beta), ...

In this interview, learn how Raman spectroscopy is used as a Process Analytical Technology (PAT) in bioreactor monitoring and control for cultivated meat production. Why look at different ways to ...

Virus variation has been the bane of Covid-19 control. No sooner has one wave of infection passed than a second arrives, evading prior immunity and even vaccines. Monoclonal antibody drugs effective ...

A genetic difference carried by nearly one in three people may increase the risk of severe COVID-19 and lung fibrosis by disrupting the function of a previously unknown protein, according to a new ...

The European Commission has finalized plans to improve lifecycle management of medicines through changes to the regulations on marketing authorization variations. European Union lawmakers last made ...
