New Insights into Control of Plasma Behavior with Ultra-Thin Lithium Films on Graphite

The research of a multi-institutional team from the U.S., Japan, and France, led by Predrag S. Krstic of the Joint Institute for Computational Sciences and Jean Paul Allain of Purdue University has answered the question of how the behavior of plasma—the extremely hot gases of nuclear fusion—can be controlled with ultra-thin lithium films on graphite walls lining thermonuclear magnetic fusion devices.

Tighter Collaboration Needed Between Nanometer-Node Process Developers and Wafer Fab Managers

The rapidly growing application of SlurryScope™ systems at major semiconductor wafer fabs has begun to stimulate the need for tighter collaboration between nanometer-node process developers and the wafer fab managers who oversee the quality/delivery of slurry used during chemical-mechanical planarization (CMP) process. Minimizing large particle counts (LPCs) in undiluted slurry at wafer planarization and polishing steps is becoming increasingly critical as complex chips are manufactured at ever finer geometries.
