How chemical etching keeps tooling costs low and allows for rapid design changes. 1. Chemical etching can create complex, ...

ITHACA, N.Y. — Cornell University researchers have discovered yet another method for shrinking the design rules on silicon chips. The researchers demonstrated the technique, called controlled etching ...

Finding new uses for your tools and equipment can be very exciting. [Foamy] wrote in to tell us about a blog post by [qbotics] that demonstrates etching designs into denim with a laser cutter. What a ...

It's a mistake to assume wafer clamp rings have to polyimide. Several other work about as well. Silicon wafers aren't the only things that lose material in the various etching steps of IC ...
