Yield loss is increasingly driven by molecular variability in thin films, interfaces, and contamination rather than visible defects. Reliability issues often appear first as parametric drift or margin ...

Engineers leverage both device-specific and tool-level data to identify a process “sweet spot.” Tight, frequent tool-to-tool matching enables greater yield and fab flexibility. Machine learning helps ...

When a videogame wants to show a scene, it sends the GPU a list of objects described using triangles (most 3D models are broken down into triangles). The GPU then runs a sequence called a rendering ...

Over periods up to 10 years, tech doesn’t reliably outperform coal, gas and oil – and over longer terms tech usually underperforms energy.

For nearly two decades, two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors have been studied as a complement or possible successor to silicon transistors, promising smaller, faster and more energy-efficient ...

Duke engineers show how a common device architecture used to test 2D transistors overstates their performance prospects in real-world devices.

Your confirmation bias may be influencing your career decisions. Learn how it limits growth, distorts feedback, and shift it ...

Hidden semiconductor defects often pass inspection but fail later in operation. Learn how latent defects form, evade detection, and drive long-term reliability failures.

Big data analytics is the secret sauce of the American polity and economy—widely utilized but poorly understood. Organizations use various types of big data analytics to make decisions, correlations, ...

Confirmation bias describes the tendency to favor information that confirms existing beliefs. Learn about its effects and how to mitigate its impact on financial decisions.
