Inaugural SEMI 'Nano U' to Discuss Latest Research

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 30, 2006 -- Nanotechnology experts from top US universities will offer insight into the latest nanotech research during SEMI's inaugural daylong Nano U program on Oct. 31, which precedes this week's SEMI NanoForum 2006 at the San Jose Marriott. SEMI, which represents the semiconductor, display, MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) and related industries, said Nano U is designed to promote cooperation between academia and industry. The event is sponsored by SIA, the Semiconductor Industry Association. "Nano U provides a unique forum for industry executives to gain insight on cutting-edge research...Read full article

    metrology
    Metrology is the science and practice of measurement. It encompasses the theoretical and practical aspects of measurement, including the development of measurement standards, techniques, and instruments, as well as the application of measurement principles in various fields. The primary objectives of metrology are to ensure accuracy, reliability, and consistency in measurements and to establish traceability to recognized standards. Metrology plays a crucial role in science, industry,...
    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
    nanotechnology
    The use of atoms, molecules and molecular-scale structures to enhance existing technology and develop new materials and devices. The goal of this technology is to manipulate atomic and molecular particles to create devices that are thousands of times smaller and faster than those of the current microtechnologies.
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
