It Can Only Be Done with Lasers By Debbie Sniderman From stars to phones, smart payment cards to medical implantable materials, lasers are reaching into more areas where traditional machining and processing methods don’t offer much needed precision, accuracy or sensitivity. LIA’s 35th International Congress on Applications of Lasers & Electro-Optics (ICALEO®) is the premier […]
New Laser-Assisted Doping Process Extends Functionality of Ultra-Thin TMDCs
By Debbie Sniderman A new class of semiconducting materials, 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), have exceptional optoelectronic characteristics and can be made ultra-thin. When reduced to a few or mono-layers, they have the potential to meet the small size, high mechanical stability and low power requirements, and be integrated into flexible electronics and used as […]
Tailoring Bessel Beams to Form High Aspect Ratio Vias in Silicon
By Debbie Sniderman Fabricating through-silicon vias (TSVs) is a key processing technology for 3D silicon IC integration and assembly. These deep holes allow chips to be connected electrically in vertical orientations, completely passing through the entire thickness of silicon wafers, creating 3D ICs for many applications such as image sensors and DRAMS. Dr. Koji Sugioka’s […]
