A patent-pending indentation method gathers data on a range of materials for which it was previously unobtainable Using Nanovea’s Mechanical Tester in indentation mode, with a cylindrical flat tip, it ...

Balancing yield and test is essential to semiconductor manufacturing, but it’s becoming harder to determine how much weight to give one versus the other as chips become more specialized for different ...

Yield points and flow points are important parameters for characterizing the behavior of dispersions during transport and application. In this case study, yield points and flow points of two ...

Chipmakers are ramping new tools and methodologies to achieve sufficient yield faster, despite smaller device dimensions, a growing number of systematic defects, immense data volumes, and massive ...

Many sources of yield loss, including out-of-spec equipment, incorrect handling of material, photomask defects, design-process sensitivities, library marginalities, and test issues, can occur during ...

Design-for-manufacturing (DFM) methodologies have taken center stage in the drive to improve yields in nanometer designs. Various techniques targeted at both the initial design and the manufacturing ...

Universal testing machines outfitted with bend fixtures are used in calculating flexural strength, flexural modulus, yield point, and more. This article will explore the requisite equipment for ...

Diagnosis-driven yield analysis identifies the cause of systematic yield loss to speed yield ramp on new processes and improves yield on mature processes. Finding the root cause of yield loss is ...

A new X-ray-based method reveals how glasses yield upon irradiation, offering insights into their structural resilience and potential for radiation resistant ...

To study and verify the power generation and operating temperature performance of different module types, JA Solar and TÜV NORD initiated an energy yield test between February 2021 and February 2022 ...

JinkoSolar’s n-type TOPCon modules have been found to deliver significantly higher energy yield per watt compared to n-type BC modules during a three-month field test. The field test, conducted by TÜV ...

A study in Kagoshima, Japan has shown that the latest generation of TOPCon modules has surpassed p-type BC modules on energy yield during the initial month of a 1-year testing period, with an average ...
