In-situ XRF yield management tool for CIGS composition

In-situ XRF yield management tool for CIGS composition

Solar Metrology expands its SMX XRF tool portfolio for film composition and thickness measurement of CIGS photovoltaic depositions with the addition of the System SMX- LINEAR ISI.

Low-power, embedded PC for rugged applications

Low-power, embedded PC for rugged applications

The new Tiny-LX embedded PC from Advanced Micro Peripherals puts Pentium class performance into challenging environments. The onboard 500MHz AMD Geode LX800 CPU features low power fan-less operation, even in extended temperatures to +85˚C.

Next-generation NVD inspection solution for patterned wafers

Qcept Technologies Inc. introduced its latest non-visual defect (NVD) inspection system—the ChemetriQ 5000. Providing NVD inspection on both patterned and unpatterned wafers, the ChemetriQ 5000 can be used for a wide range of tool and line monitoring applications to increase yield learning rates and enable higher sustainable yields.

OSLUX LED flash for cell phones

The new OSLUX LED from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors is brighter and smaller than previous models, and it provides uniform light thanks to a chip employing UX:3 technology.

Organic semiconductors

Merck KGaA and Plastic Logic GmbH announced plans to jointly develop, test, and commercialize Merck’s new organic semiconductors in Plastic Logic’s displays.

Semiconductor manufacturing processes and laser displacement sensors

Semiconductor manufacturing processes and laser displacement sensors

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.

Solid-state optically pumped semiconductor laser

Solid-state optically pumped semiconductor laser

Coherent, Inc. has expanded their Sapphire family of compact CW visible lasers with the first 514 nm (green) offering based on the company’s OPSL technology. With a choice of four different output powers ranging from 20 to 100 milliwatts, these Sapphire 514 LP lasers provide a compact and reliable all-solid state alternative to legacy ion technology.

Sigma-Aldrich teams with 3M to provide high-performance organic semiconductor

TIPS Pentacene, a soluble organic semiconductor for printed and flexible electronics, is manufactured by 3M under the name 3M Organic Electronics Semiconductor L-20856 and is the first in a family of soluble Pentacene-based semiconductors developed by 3M Electronics Markets Materials Division in collaboration with Dr. John Anthony, professor at the Univ. of Kentucky and founder of Outrider Technologies LLC.

Mass flow controller meets semicon requirements

Mass flow controller meets semicon requirements

The latest EL-FLOW design from Bronkhorst High-Tech B.V. features multi-gas/multi-range functionality in a metal-sealed digital mass flow controller that is well suited for both semiconductor and purity gas applications.

A smooth finish

A smooth finish

Sinmat, Inc.'s (Gainesville, Fla.) Ultra-Rapid Polishing Slurry for Wide Band-Gap Semiconductors is a technology that uses a combination of reactive nanoparticles and chemistry to convert hard wide band-gap material into a softer layer for rapid removal. Smooth finishing is then accomplished with surfactant and other materials that refine the surface to atomic step levels.
