One-Atom-Thick Triangular Structures Show Promise for Optical Applications

For the first time, scientists have created single layers of a naturally occurring rare mineral called tungstenite, or WS2. The resulting sheet of stacked sulfur and tungsten atoms forms a honeycomb pattern of triangles that have been shown to have unusual light-emitting, or photoluminescent, properties.

Tighter Collaboration Needed Between Nanometer-Node Process Developers and Wafer Fab Managers

The rapidly growing application of SlurryScope™ systems at major semiconductor wafer fabs has begun to stimulate the need for tighter collaboration between nanometer-node process developers and the wafer fab managers who oversee the quality/delivery of slurry used during chemical-mechanical planarization (CMP) process. Minimizing large particle counts (LPCs) in undiluted slurry at wafer planarization and polishing steps is becoming increasingly critical as complex chips are manufactured at ever finer geometries.
