The tool offers a high-sensitivity mode with 33nm defect detection to meet tightening customer specifications, with production throughputs in excess of 50 300mm wafers per hour, ADE said. New ...

The conventional approach to fixing chip defects is to measure the exact shape of each defect, and provide a correction precisely tailored to it -- a slow and expensive process, Chou said. In contrast ...

Rough edges and other defects can degrade or even ruin chip performance in most applications. In integrated circuits, for instance, such flaws could cause current to leak and voltage to fluctuate.

Here’s how it works. Silicon chips contain defects created during the manufacturing process that can be harnessed to store qubits. (Image credit: Yellow Dog Productions/Getty Images) ...

These chips will also contain approximately 50 percent more interconnects--the microscopic wires that connect the millions (and soon billions) of transistors on a chip--than today's processors.

Physicists at Ohio State University have discovered that tiny defects inside a computer chip can be used to tune the properties of key atoms in the chip. The technique involves rearranging the holes ...
