The small and complicated features of TSVs give rise to different defect types. Defects can form during any of the TSV ...

For decades, optical inspection has been the primary method for process control in fabs. However, the move to multi-level ...

In safety-critical applications, bugs in software are not just costlydistractions—they can put lives at risk. Consequently, safety-criticalsoftware developers go to great lengths to detect and fix ...

Eddy current testing is a well-established method of nondestructive testing that is used to examine nonferrous/nonmagnetic materials such as condenser and heat exchanger tubes in power generation ...

Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) have developed a simple yet accurate method for finding defects in the latest generation of silicon carbide transistors. This ...
