• Is nanotechnology hazardous to your health?
  In less than a decade, sales of manufactured goods incorporating nanotechnology are predicted to reach $2.6 trillion annually. Today, there are over 300 nanotechnology-based consumer products on the market, ranging from computer chips to automobile parts, from clothing to cosmetics, to dietary...
• Semiconductor Manufacturing Handbook
  conventional and emerging wafer processing, final manufacturing, yield management, and ancillary facilities used in the semiconductor industry. It also covers fundamentals of nanotechnology, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and flat panel display (FPD) that share similar wafer processing...
• MICRO: Round the Circ
  SEMI has partnered with organizations on the design for manufacturing (DFM) and nanotechnology fronts. To address DFM issues, the Silicon Integration Initiative (Si2) and the equipment and materials trade association plan to collaborate on a number of near-term and ongoing efforts. Si2 will sponsor...
• MICRO: 'Round The Circuit
  009;Digital Instruments/Veeco Metrology Group has been chosen to provide key measurement tools to a state-backed initiative exploring advances in nanotechnology. A nanometer, one-billionth of a meter, is about one-thousandth the thickness of a human hair. "The ability to engineer and control...
• Semiconductor manufacturing: Off to a slower start
  equipment for manufacturing semiconductors, flat-panel displays, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and nanotechnology. These products, services, and emerging technologies will be in the North, South and Gateway Halls of the Moscone Center, and the new Moscone West building. New to this year's show...
• Business is bright as Semicon West opens its doors
  Anderson discussing interconnect techniques for consumer electronics. Semicon West will also offer short courses focusing on numerous areas of technology, such as advanced packaging, advanced design methodologies, nanotechnology and MEMS, deposition and etch, optical lithography, semiconductor...
• Carbon Nanotubes Outperform Copper Nanowires as Interconnects
  computer modeling to run vast simulations on a high-powered supercomputer. It is the first such study to examine copper nanowire using quantum mechanics rather than empirical laws. After crunching numbers for months with the help of Rensselaer's Computational Center for Nanotechnology Innovations...
• The little batteries that could
  batteries that are so small more than 40 can stack across the width of a hair (the diameter of an average hair is 50,000 nm), and they continue to make even smaller versions. Through nanotechnology, objects are built so that nearly each atom is precisely placed. The process is similar to that of making...
• The Science of Santa Claus
  to pull off the magical mission. Santa's little helpers are much smarter than they appear, possessing advanced knowledge of electromagnetic waves, the space/time continuum, nanotechnology, genetic engineering, and computer science. As for Santa knowing what all those children want for Christmas...
• Sensor Sense: Cylinder-Position Sensors
  configuration. That creates problems if the magnet in the piston rotates away from the sensing coil. Magnetoresistive or MR technology creates a sensing medium through use of nanotechnology to layer ferromagnetic (magnetic) and nonferromagnetic (nonmagnetic) materials. A current passing through...
