The key to precisely controlling the chemicals used in ALD and ALE during the thousands of “on and off” steps to deposit or etch one layer is the valve design.
Managing Complex Logistics in Today’s Semiconductor Industry
The complexity of the semiconductor manufacturing process is well known, but the logistics of supplying a megafab with equipment and materials can be equally complex. Delivering just one EUV lithography tool, for example, takes three Boeing 747 cargo planes, 40 freight containers and 20 trucks.
The Impact of AI and ML on Embedded Systems
AI and ML are fundamentally reshaping the landscape of embedded technology by enabling these devices to learn from data, make intelligent decisions, and adapt to their surroundings.
