AMES, Iowa – Materials engineers don’t like to see line defects in functional materials. The structural flaws along a one-dimensional line of atoms generally degrades performance of electrical ...

Researchers have discovered that engineering one-dimensional line defects into certain materials can increase their electrical performance. Materials engineers don't like to see line defects in ...

In recent years, the development of quantum computers beyond the capability of classical computers has become a new frontier in science and technology and a key ...

A new way to do full-wafer, in-line monitoring to identify missing vias in the back end of line. A viable in-line monitor for missing vias in the back end of line (BEOL) has traditionally been ...
