Suss to Stock NanoTech Lab

In the drive for commercialization of nanotechnology, new measurement challenges have arisen in characterizing the latest semiconductor devices for generating accurate transistor models, which are the building blocks of next-generation integrated circuits (ICs). Suss MicroTec Systems has announced that the receipt of purchase orders for test equipment will enable the development of these next-generation ICs, including CMOS transistor scaling to the 16-nm node and beyond and investigating the reliability characteristics of high-k dielectrics. As part of a partnership with a global consortium of chipmakers including Sematech, Core Wafer Systems and the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) of the University at Albany, Suss will install advanced 300-mm wafer-level characterization systems with ProbeShield Technology and a cryogenic probe capability system at CNSE’s Albany NanoTech Complex.
