Semiconductor chip manufacturing technology in general, and MEMS manufacturing technology in particular, have applications in emerging life sciences fields.
Metal fuses in redundancy circuitry can be laser repaired to enhance yield. However, shrinking IC design rules have necessitated fuse pitches smaller than the 2µm pitch lines that can be processed by traditional infrared lasers.
Solid State Technology and sister magazine Advanced Packaging invited SEMICON West attendees to vote on the best products they saw at the July trade show in San Francisco’s Moscone Center.
The urgent need to push storage densities and access speeds for memory is even more intense than that faced by semiconductor technologists who have miraculously followed Moore’s Law for nearly 50 years.
As the superparamagnetic limit continues to make scaling of conventional magnetic recording technology to higher densities and larger capacities more difficult, novel concepts such as patterned magnetic media are being considered as likely routes to terabit per square inch densities and beyond.
Both flash memories and miniature disk drives have begun to replace each other in a variety of applications, mostly in portable but also in some fixed devices.
