Facebook X LinkedIn Email
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan. 25, 2010 - Novelx, a Lafayette, Calif.-based maker of field emission scanning electron microscopes (SEMs), has been acquired by measurement company Agilent Technologies for an undisclosed amount, Novelx announced on its Web site. Novelx, which was incorporated in 2002 to make low-cost, high-resolution electron beam columns for inspection, analysis and lithography applications, is now part of Agilent’s nanomeasurement operation within the company’s electronic measurement group. Of particular commercial interest to Agilent is Novelx's first product, the mySEM (at left), which is a...Read full article

    electron beam
    A stream of electrons emitted by a single source that move in the same direction and at the same speed.
    lithography
    Lithography is a key process used in microfabrication and semiconductor manufacturing to create intricate patterns on the surface of substrates, typically silicon wafers. It involves the transfer of a desired pattern onto a photosensitive material called a resist, which is coated onto the substrate. The resist is then selectively exposed to light or other radiation using a mask or reticle that contains the pattern of interest. The lithography process can be broadly categorized into several...
    polymer
    Polymers are large molecules composed of repeating structural units called monomers. These monomers are chemically bonded together to form long chains or networks, creating a macromolecular structure. The process of linking monomers together is known as polymerization. Polymers can be classified into several categories based on their structure, properties, and mode of synthesis. Some common types of polymers include: Synthetic polymers: These are human-made polymers produced through...
