AMES, Iowa – Materials engineers don’t like to see line defects in functional materials. The structural flaws along a one-dimensional line of atoms generally degrades performance of electrical ...

In recent years, the development of quantum computers beyond the capability of classical computers has become a new frontier in science and technology and a key direction to realize quantum supremacy.

State Grid Changzhou Power Supply Company has deployed drone-based ultraviolet (UV) imaging technology for the first time to enable precision inspection of distribution lines in Liyang, Changzhou. The ...

Final electrical test remains one of the best ways to assess a circuit’s ultimate viability. But we know that, unfortunately, even 100% end-of-line electrical testing of semiconductor wafers will not ...

A new way to do full-wafer, in-line monitoring to identify missing vias in the back end of line. A viable in-line monitor for missing vias in the back end of line (BEOL) has traditionally been ...

Researchers have discovered that engineering one-dimensional line defects into certain materials can increase their electrical performance. Materials engineers don't like to see line defects in ...
