Semicon: Some Good News

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
SAN FRANCISCO, July 16, 2009 -- In one of the booths at this year's Semicon West, the assets of Germany-based bankrupt semiconductor maker Qimonda were for sale. That included the campus, buildings, and everything in them. Cymer, a San Diego-based maker of laser light sources for photolithographic steppers, elected not to have a booth, in a cost-cutting move. Others did likewise. In terms of exhibit halls, Semicon West went from filling almost three in 2008 to only two this year. But the bad times may be ending, as evidenced by some recent good news. Some comes from Intel. At a keynote address here, Anand...Read full article

    1. A localized fracture at the end of a cleaved optical fiber or on a glass surface. 2. An integrated circuit.
    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...
    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...
