European microelectronics: Setting sights on US and Japan

Setting our sights on the stars.

European Microelectronics and Packaging Symposium

An advanced substrate level patterning technique is presented to realize 3D interconnection circuitry on electronic modules. The technique is based on diffraction of light by phase gratings. The phase gratings are incorporated into the photomask at discrete locations. By illuminating the photomask at normal incidence, the phase grating causes locally inclined UV exposure, which is used to expos...

Sights on cone geometry

JCB • VOLUME 174 • NUMBER 1 • 2006 4 R ather than merely point-to-point dispatches, synaptic messengers also make widespread broadcasts, as evidenced by Steven DeVries, Wei Li, and Shannon Saszik (Northwestern University, Chicago, IL). Messages are received both near and far, they show, to create transient and sustained responses. The cone presynaptic terminal is highly invaginated, with ribbon...

Symposium on Microelectronics

− Tunnel diode I-V characteristics were measured (Figure 1.) − Mathematical manipulations were then carried out on the measured data to roughly estimate the function that could be used to describe the I-V characteristic curves. − First model was proposed and revised until a rough match between the measured data and simulated data was obtained. − The final model is a voltage-controlled current s...

Multimedia optimisation and demonstration for education in microelectronics (MODEM): a new European microelectronics telematics based educational initiative

Human capital is now generally accepted as the main limiting factor to growth in the microelectronics sector. To remain competitive in world markets, European industry must have access to an educated workforce in key enabling technologies such as electronic mater!ials science, device physics, ULS processing and microelectronics systems design. The objective of this paper i,s to present an overv...
