  to begin in 1999. Maximum capacity will be 6000 8-in. wafers/week. Electroglas, a supplier of automatic wafer probing equipment, has signed a definitive agreement to purchase Knights Technology of Sunnyvale, CA, for approximately $30 million in stock. Knights manufactures software for yield enhancement...

  In this work the v4 absorption lines in the 8.14-um spectral region were probed. Probing COF2 absorption lines in the shorter-wavelength v1 band, however, offers the advantage of higher signal-to-noise ratios, since mid-IR detectors have higher sensitivities at shorter wavelengths. Figure 1 shows...

  unit. He reports record bookings in the first quarter of this year, fueled primarily by demand for communications networks. In addition, the growing demand for higher on-wafer probing speeds are firing interest in the Pyramid Probe cards, Smith claims. Dow opens resin plant Dow Chemical has...
• Next Big Challenge for PV Makers: Wafer Handling
  . Like any other assembly issue, that can be challenging.". One difficulty is in checking solar material for defects. Solar modules get probed for resistivity during manufacture. Cell makers sort modules based on their output, then charge a premium for the best products. But physical probing of thin...

  in-circuit tests on them is nearly impossible without enough pad spacing to allow 50-mil or greater probing of the circuit. Fujitsu Ltd. has begun sampling a 42-inch, high-resolution color plasma display. venture capital, semiconductors, aerospace, manufacturing, computers, foundries, electronics...

  and temperature sensors. Featured products include bake platens for 200- and 300-mm wafers, bake/chill platens, bake/chill pedestals, hot chucks, high-temperature platens, and multipoint thermocouples. The equipment is used in CVD, photolithography, PVD, etching, and probing wafer processes. Information...

  and verse about why Zyvex's own tool rocks. Randall then wheeled back into some thought-provoking musings on the longer-term impacts of things nano, such as full-wafer probing (gee, who's tool might do that?), atomic-scale CD standards, atomic-layer epitaxy, and other atomically precise...
• Implementing a yield management program to improve die yield
  yield is a complex activity. Although much can be done to reduce the number of killer defects in the fabrication process, product die can also fail because of a combination of parametric and design sensitivity factors. The most important element behind the well-known concept of probing both...
