Perfect Preparation of Geological Thin Sections

Posted in Tech Files

9th February 2017

Geological thin sections are prepared for a number of different tests such as porosity definition. Preparing  high quality geological thin sections can present a significant challenge, even to the most experienced petrographer, when using materials such as concrete. The combination of soft cement matrix and hard …

Challenging 3D ICs mean changes for CMP processes

Posted in Tech Files

3rd March 2016

Semiconductor device designers are continuously looking for ways to maximise the number of nodes that fit into each area of semiconducting wafers. CMP processing of 3D stacked logic devices in the form of finFETs and 3D memory can prove more difficult to process than planar ICs. Many more steps are required throughout the process.

With real time data tracking, the room for error is no longer in your hands

Posted in Tech Files

28th July 2015

For many years, the wafer finishing process has been subject to an element of manual monitoring and control. With a typical wafer lapping and polishing cycle taking around an hour of conditioning to complete, the level of manual monitoring required is a drain on resource and efficiency.
