APPLICATION UPDATES
Optimizing Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP) Processes with QCM-D
Developing the next generation of semiconductor packaging, and overcoming the challenges in this space, will require novel materials and manufacturing processes.
In our new Application Overview, we highlight how QCM-D has been used to simulate and analyze CMP processes to optimize slurry formulations and protocols. We also share a case study that demonstrates how QCM-D can be used to study slurry additive and abrasive interaction with surface materials relevant to the electronics industry.
How Does QCM-D Enable Research in PFAS Remediation?
Per- and PolyFluoroAlkyl Substances (PFAS) have been widely used in a range of applications. The concern with PFAS arises from their persistence in the environment and potential adverse health effects. …
Characterizing Organic Electrochemical Transistors for Bioelectronics using EQCM-D
One of the most prevalent tools in the field of bioelectronics is the organic electrochemical transistor (OECT). Due to its mixed (ionic and electronic) conduction properties and the flexibility of …
WEBINARS
