Chipmakers are ramping up a new class of chip architectures, such as 3D NAND and finFETs. Measuring and characterizing the tiny structures in these technologies is a major challenge. It will not only ...

The semiconductor industry is constantly marching toward thinner films and complex geometries with smaller dimensions, as well as newer materials. The number of chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) ...

Metrology is the science of precise measurement. It ensures accuracy and consistency across scientific, industrial, and engineering fields. Calibration is the process of aligning measurement ...

The EPSRC Future Metrology Hub is looking to develop measurement equipment on the machine, which is still independent of the manufacturing process, but doesn’t have to be manoeuvred into place. Will ...

Where are you working? I work for NASA at the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center as a tribology and metrology engineer. We run tests for evaluating oils, greases, dry film lubricants and coating on ...

A FULL-TIME postgraduate course in engineering metrology (technical measurement), extending over one apetaemic year, is being started this year as a permanent feature in the courses provided at the ...

An expert panel considers the trends and technologies that are shaping the future of industrial metrology Smart, connected and easy to use metrology solutions are a key component of any advanced ...

Much of subcontractor Driven Engineering's turnover comes from the Formula 1 circuit, although the cost cap imposed on teams over recent years has somewhat reduced that volume. This has led the ...

Aircraft turbine engines are complex, large machines with highly demanding requirements for efficiency and reliability. Even a small change in the efficiency of such an engine can mean thousands to ...
