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 ...

Korean researchers have developed a new analysis method capable of detecting “hidden defects” in semiconductors with a ...

SAN JOSE–KLA-Tencor Corp. today announced it was offering the industry's first inline, non-contact system for monitoring electrical defects in processed wafers. The metrology giant claimed the new ...

If you're in the process of having a new home built or you're about to buy one, there's one important electrical inspection ...

Semiconductors are used in devices such as memory chips and solar cells, and within them may exist invisible defects that ...

Double-tapped circuit breakers are one of the most common electrical defects that home inspectors find. Everyone seems to sign off on this defect as a 'big deal', but I'm here to tell you it's not. It ...

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 ...
