Once upon a time, integrated circuits (ICs) were built by the same companies that designed them. The design of an IC was tightly integrated with the manufacturing processes available within each ...

The Department of Engineering Design and Manufacturing is involved in a variety of research and training activities. The following is an overview of the areas that research teams work in, with some ...

Manufacturing equipment is the platform for the operation of unit processes. Properly designed equipment is essential for the production of high-quality, cost-effective products. Equipment design is ...

To remain competitive, manufacturers must utilize "lean manufacturing" — operating with maximum productivity and process efficiency, while generating quality products. Although establishing processes ...

The gate-all-around (GAA) semiconductor manufacturing process, also known as gate-all-around field-effect transistor (GAA-FET) technology, defies the performance limitations of FinFET by reducing the ...

Composites have become key materials for strategic industries such as aerospace, new energy vehicles, and high-end equipment due to their superior specific ...

As silicon photonics manufacturing gains momentum with additional foundry and 300mm offerings, process variation issues are coming to light. Variability in silicon processing affects the waveguide ...

For decades there have been five basic types of manufacturing processes. They are distinct. Great design engineers understand the nuances of these processes and tailor their designs accordingly. There ...

Electronics design engineers spend substantial effort on schematics, simulation, and layout. Yet, a component’s long-term success also depends on how well its physical form aligns with downstream ...

The way everyday items - from chairs to cars to power tools - are made is being reimagined through a new process called generative design. Using artificial intelligence (AI) software and the compute ...
