Using high-volume production tools for development has always been a bottleneck, but it’ll be a growing necessity due to the plethora of new materials interactions to be tested for 32nm node IC manufacturing. By combining test-chips/parametric-testers and informatics software with high-productivity combinatorial technology, recently decloaked Intermolecular is revolutionizing the way new materials technology is developed in labs and deployed in high-volume fabs. WaferNEWS goes on-site to get the skinny from the company’s top execs.
