Smith Rochester Institute of Technology Microelectronic Engineering One Lomb Memorial Drive Rochester, New York 14623 (716)475-6065 ____ I II — II III II I I I_Ill ROCHESTER INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY II ____ MICROELECTRONIC ENGINEERING FORWARD The papers which follow summarize the research performed by the graduating seniors from the Microelectronic Engineering Program at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). Prior to their final quarter of study, the students submit a proposal for a research topic including the relevance of the project to the Microelectronics field and the Engineering program at RIT, methodology, tentative timetable and budget. After a faculty critique, the pro5ect is either accepted as proposed or revised. Thereafter, the student performs the research independently with weekly meetings with the course coordinator to monitor progress, obtain supplies, and revise the experiment as results develop. Their results are presented orally at the Ar~ne.~al Microelectronic Engineering Conference and in written form in this journal. The student is free (and encouraged) to seek the guidance of other faculty members, both in and outside the Microelectronic Engineering Faculty, researchers at other institutes, or industrial colleagues. The course is designed to model the type of activities involved in graduate study programs. It also provides the student with the opportunity to exercise the skills obtained over the last five years and/or to develop new skills. The main area of concern for the course coordinator is guidance in the areas of technical writing and oral presentation. A series of seminars, on areas of Microelectronics, that are not adequately covered in the course work, complement the experimental work. This provides the undergraduate students with an opportunity to prepare for their presentations by listening to the work of others. Overall, the Senior Seminar and Research Course offers the RIT student an ‘unique experience to obtain competence in both technical performance and in the presentation of their work in written and oral media. These are critical areas in Engineering that are often neglected in a conventional curriculum. We hope the reader will find this journal informative and ask your indulgence concerning any technical errors which may appear herein. While a strong effort is made to eliminate any mistakes in theory or practice, some escape our detection due to the nature of the course. We invite your comments and questions regarding any of the papers. Further details of the experiments are available upon request from the Microelectronic Engineering Office at RIT. We encourage input from others not directly involved with the Microelectronic Engineering Program at RIT so we may see ourselves through the “eyes” of others. It is this feedback which helps keep us current in our goal to provide quality engineers to the Microelectronic industry. Michael A. Jackson ~QO~ Course Coordinato ACKNOWL EDGMENTS A special note of appreciation is due to the people that assist the students in their work. While many of the students have individually cited those people directly involved with their project, the editors wish to acknowledge several individuals, who have directly or indirectly influenced these proz~ects. These people are the RIT technicians and maintenance staff, without whom, the facility would not function. A special note of thanks is due Scott Blondell and Gary Runkle, our Facilities Manager and Head Technician, respectively. Invariably, demands are placed on their time as students learn, modify, and or build equipment. Human nature being what it is, these demands rise “exponentially” as the student conference nears. Scott and Gary do all they can for the students, and it shows in the wide variety of projects that are reported herein. Thanks guys’ Without you, this course would not be the success it is today.

    Oral History of Robert “Bob” Schreiner Interviewed by: Stephen Diamond Recorded: June 10, 2013 Mountain View, California CHM Reference number: X6873.2014 © 2013 Computer History Museum Oral History of Robert “Bob” Schreiner Stephen Diamond: We're here at the Computer History Museum with Bob Schreiner. It's June 10th, 2013, and we're going to talk about the oral history of Synertek and the 6502. Welcome, Bob. Thanks for being here. Can you introduce yourself to us? Robert “Bob” Schreiner: Okay. My name is Bob Schreiner. I'm an ex-Fairchilder, one of the Fairchildren in the valley, and then involved in running a couple of other small semiconductor companies, and I started a semiconductor company. Diamond: So that would be Synertek. Schreiner: Synertek. Diamond: Tell us about that. Schreiner: Okay. As you know from an earlier session I left Fairchild Semiconductor around 1971. And at the time I left I was running the LSI program at Fairchild, and I was a big believer that the future marketplace for MOS technology would be in the custom area. And since Fairchild let that whole thing fall apart, I decided there's got to be room for a company to start up to do that very thing, work with big producers of hardware and develop custom chips for them so they would have a propriety product that would be difficult to copy. So I wrote a business plan, and I went around to a number of manufacturers. I had a computer guy [General Automation], and I had Bulova Watch Company, and I had a company that made electronic telephones [American Telephones], and who was the fourth guy? Escapes my memory right now, but the pitch basically was, "Your business, which now you manufacture things with discrete components, it's going to change.

  • China's Progress in Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment
    MARCH 2021 China’s Progress in Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment Accelerants and Policy Implications CSET Policy Brief AUTHORS Will Hunt Saif M. Khan Dahlia Peterson Executive Summary China has a chip problem. It depends entirely on the United States and U.S. allies for access to advanced commercial semiconductors, which underpin all modern technologies, from smartphones to fighter jets to artificial intelligence. China’s current chip dependence allows the United States and its allies to control the export of advanced chips to Chinese state and private actors whose activities threaten human rights and international security. Chip dependence is also expensive: China currently depends on imports for most of the chips it consumes. China has therefore prioritized indigenizing advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment (SME), which chip factories require to make leading-edge chips. But indigenizing advanced SME will be hard since Chinese firms have serious weaknesses in almost all SME sub-sectors, especially photolithography, metrology, and inspection. Meanwhile, the top global SME firms—based in the United States, Japan, and the Netherlands—enjoy wide moats of intellectual property and world- class teams of engineers, making it exceptionally difficult for newcomers to the SME industry to catch up to the leading edge. But for a country with China’s resources and political will, catching up in SME is not impossible. Whether China manages to close this gap will depend on its access to five technological accelerants: 1. Equipment components. Building advanced SME often requires access to a range of complex components, which SME firms often buy from third party suppliers and then assemble into finished SME.

  • DEVICE and CIRCUIT DESIGN for VLSI by Amr Mohsen
    31 DEVICE AND CIRCUIT DESIGN FOR VLSI by Amr Mohsen* Intel Corporation 3065 Bowers Avenue Santa Clara, California 95051 ABSTRACT A review of the device and circuit design complexity and limitations for VLSI is presented. VLSI device performance will be limited by second order device effects, interconnection line de lay and current density and chip power dissipation. The complexity of VLSI circuit design will require hierarchial structured design methodology with special consideration of testability dnd more emphasis on redundancy. New organizations of logic function architectures and smart memories will evolve to take advantage of the topological properties of the VLSI silicon technology. * The author is also on the faculty of California Institute of Technology CALTECH CONFERENCE ON VLSI, January 1979 32 Amr Mohsen I. INTRODUCTION: As semiconductor technology has evolved from discrete to small-scale to medium-scale and through large-scale integration levels a rapid decrease in the cost per function provided by the technology have opened up new applications and industries. Today there is a large interest in the next phase of integration: very large scale integration (VLSI). The semi­ conductor technology will be able to fabricate chips with more than lOOK devices (l) in the 1980's. The continuous scaling of the semi- conductor devices and increase in components counts on a single chip is resulting in more complex technology developments, device and circuit designs and product definition. In this review paper, projections of how device technology will evolve in the future and the problems and limitations of device and circuit design for VLSI are presented. VLSI TECHNOLOGIES: In Fig.

Our mission is fulfilled when products are delivered and installed on time and top-of-the-line service and support are provided to help customers achieve their productivity objectives. SILICON VALLEY GROUP TECHNOLOGY LEADER We are prepared for growth. a letter to our shareholders AS THE SEMICONDUCTOR GROWTH CYCLE GAINS MOMENTUM, SVG IS WELL POSITIONED FOR THE FUTURE. As the semiconductor industry goes, so too does SVG. The recent industry downturn, which started in 1998 and continued into 1999, presented major hurdles for Silicon Valley Group and its customers. It particularly impacted SVG at a time when our lithography manufacturing capacity and other capabilities had been increased to take advantage of what had been predicted to be a period of unprecedented growth. Managing a downturn is no easy feat. Although our return to profitability in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year was not as vigorous as we would have liked, I am pleased to say that SVG has risen to the challenge. We focused on the long-term health of the Company with cash preservation and investments in research and development (R&D). Our business is cyclical in nature, and I believe that the current upward momentum we are experiencing in the industry is a very positive indicator for the future. This was a very difficult year for SVG.
