Conclusions: Clinical processes used to provide initial visits for OC services varied demonstrably across study sites, generating variation in cost with little impact on clinical quality or patient ...

Advanced process technologies are generating significant challenges for modern IC designers as the physics of the 130- and 90-nanometer generation bring what were previously noise-level effects to the ...

Part two of this three-part series reveals control technology concepts to reduce process variability and increase profitability ...

As technology nodes shrink to 90 nanometers and below, chips become much more difficult to manufacture. In-die process variations increase substantially at 90 nm — even more at 65 nm. If these effects ...

Chipmakers are pushing into sub-threshold operation in an effort to prolong battery life and reduce energy costs, adding a whole new set of challenges for design teams. While process and environmental ...

With semiconductor feature sizes continuing to shrink, the variability arising from process technologies such as strained silicon, as well as the manufacturing processes themselves at 45 nm and below, ...
