Oct 1, 1997 — Raman spectroscopy is fast emerging as a powerful online analytical tool. The worldwide market for process analysis instrumentation is between $2 billion and $3 billion a year. Photonic technologies have a small share in this market; however, its...
Gas, Solid-State Lasers Battle for Printers' Best Impressions
Oct 1, 1997 — With annual revenues exceeding $300 billion, the printing industry is the third largest manufacturing business in the world. Several types of lasers play critical roles in this market, helping to transfer digital information from computer-generated...
High-NA Optics Push the Resolution Limits
Oct 1, 1997 — Many demanding optics applications are steadily increasing performance goals for imaging, focusing and collimating systems. Microlithography and compact disk lens designs are among those that challenge optical designers to continually stretch the...
Lasers Improve Uranium Enrichment
Oct 1, 1997 — LIVERMORE, Calif. -- Nuclear energy provides about 20 percent of the electricity used in the US, but separating uranium isotopes for power generation has been a power-hungry task itself -- until lasers offered a new method. To fuel nuclear reactors,...
Lasers in lithography: A race against time
Oct 1, 1997 — In the 1970s, the scientific community believed that optical lithography could not create microcircuits on semiconductors with features smaller than 1.25 mm. It was wrong. Today, with the help of excimer lasers and improved multielement lens...
New lithography system shortens fabrication process
Oct 1, 1997 — Instead of pushing to reduce the feature size on chips, one company is improving lithography by reducing the number of steps required to manufacture chip layers with non-critical dimensions, thereby shrinking the overall chip production time.
Scanners likely to overtake steppers
Oct 1, 1997 — While thereis not a complete consensus, several experts including and Intel, the worldis largest chip manufacturer, say that step-and-scan lithography machines will likely usurp the favored-son status from step-and-repeat machines as wafer sizes...
