When Dr. Terry Brewer concocted his now-ubiquitous antireflective coating over 30 years ago, it was a revelation. It changed the way the semiconductor industry was able to progress, and the industry followed with countless more lithography innovations. But today, those same advances are causing many of us to scratch our heads; as we push feature…

Brian May, composer and co-founder of the legendary rock band Queen, is also an astrophysicist. Ornithologist John James Audubon created vividly beautiful, detailed paintings of the birds he studied. And Leonardo da Vinci, arguably the most well-known…

While shaving down the substrates to less than 100 micrometers thick is a readily available process, moving to even thinner device substrates (<50 µm) makes for an extremely fragile…

Let’s be clear — that number largely represents drones that will be purchased for entertainment purposes by hobbyists, flight enthusiasts, and other private individuals. With drone prices dropping over the same time frame and drone technology improving, the commercial…

Brewer Science has been a market leader in advanced lithography breakthroughs starting with the invention of bottom anti-reflective coatings in 1981. Today, Brewer Science maintains a broad array of materials to meet the industry’s needs as we…

To initiate our continuous manufacturing improvement initiative that started in 2014, our team had to learn how to define our focus and understand how to prioritize by level of importance within their role and within the company’s…
Click Here to Read MorePlastic defined means “pliable and easily shaped.” According to the Science History Institute, plastic only recently became a name for a category of materials called polymers. Over time, humans have learned how to make synthetic polymers that are strong, lightweight and flexible. Polymers, or plastics, are vital to society because they expand human manufacturing beyond the…
