Developing photosensitive film layers to produce features of targeted sizes is a critical process step within any photolithography application. Application engineers have created several processes for performing this step with tank immersion (that is, a bath) and/or several adaptations of spin developing a single wafer to make patterns of features based on film areas of…
Click Here to Read MoreThe Internet of Things (IoT) has made substantial strides since first being envisioned in 1999, having moved beyond machine-to-machine communications, toward impacting a variety of industries with “smart” devices. Nearly 26 billion devices will be connected to the IoT by 2020, according to technology research firm Gartner, Inc., and the majority of these devices fit…
Click Here to Read MoreThe Internet of Things (IoT) includes a number of different applications throughout a wide assortment of industries. In our first breakdown of applications within the IoT, we discussed how Brewer Science creates materials for sensors and MEMS devices essential to the development of IoT applications. Now we’ll take a look at our involvement with control…
Click Here to Read MoreIn recognition of its progress with temporary bonding and thin wafer handling, Brewer Science was featured in the November/December issue of Chip Scale Review. The feature discusses the company’s use of wafer-level packaging (WLP) technologies in semiconductor segments, including fan-out WLP (FOWLP); fan-in wafer-level chip-scale package (FI-WLCSP); 3-D FOWLP; 2.5-D integration with interposer technology; and…
Click Here to Read MoreIn its constant quest to innovate, Brewer Science is continually on the cutting edge of what is next. We are currently combining directed self-assembly (DSA) and lithography to achieve sub–10 nm nanostructures. DSA uses block copolymers to generate arrays of self-assembled shapes such as lines or cylinders; the spatial arrangements of the resulting features can…

But for centuries, there was no feat that captivated or eluded us more than flight. It wasn’t until 1903 that it finally happened and now, just a little…

It warms the planet and is a crucial element of weather and climate. It fuels our entire food chain and is key to the process that…

Today the native of New Delhi, India, holds an impressive three separate master’s degrees focusing on chemistry, polymer engineering/technology, and chemical engineering. But her motivation to learn hasn’t slowed. “Learning…

But if you’re in the compound semiconductor industry and measure things in micrometers, the small stuff is the only stuff worth sweating. There are two general obstacles that IC manufacturers struggle…
