Semiconductor manufacturing processes and laser displacement sensors

Mar 12 | Application Notes

In the past, laser displacement sensors have been used infrequently due to lack of speed, accuracy and flexibility. Recently, they have become more accurate, faster, and more flexible. Keyence discusses how they can be effectively integrated into semiconductor manufacturing.

High precision image-based inspection

Mar 12 | Application Notes

In the past few years, high precision inspection and measurement has undergone a revolution in quality and scale. Unfortunately, conventional inspection methods have failed to take advantage of these newer technologies. This app note from Keyence details ways to narrow this gap.

Much ado about next to nothing

Mar 15

The recent review of the past 10 years of the National Nanotechnology Initiative--as presented by the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology--suggested the rise of nanomanufacturing as the near future of nanotechnology. But the actual proposed funding reflects a cautious approach, even about nanotech in general.

Lunar tires, space MRSA, and resonating microfluidics

Mar 5

I typically attend the annual Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy each year in pursuit of specific coverage. This year, I sought out candidates for coverage in a vacuum technology article, and pulled together some instruments for a spectroscopy guide. But as busy as that kept me, it wasn’t all mass spectrometers and vacuum pumps on the show floor.
