Wafers produced for products as diverse as LEDs and MP3 players vary greatly in function, but they have one thing in common: They often undergo optical inspection after they pass an electrical test.

Final electrical test remains one of the best ways to assess a circuit’s ultimate viability. But we know that, unfortunately, even 100% end-of-line electrical testing of semiconductor wafers will not ...

DRAM manufacturers continue to demand cost-effective solutions for screening and process improvement amid growing concerns over defects and process variability, but meeting that demand is becoming ...

Wire bonding is widely used in electronic devices, the semiconductor industry, and microelectronics. It enables interconnections between the die and other electronic components in an integrated ...
