whitepaper Developed a Feature Rich Speed Controller Board for a Leading Air Conditioning Company That Would Equip the Client to Be First Mover in the Market2008-01-26 MindTree Consulting
  The client wanted to take to market the All Electric Air Conditioning System for large vehicles. The system would control evaporator fan speeds to ensure uniform temperature control and increase safety. MindTree leveraged its expertise in hardware design and development to develop a microcontroller based system with enhanced features that reduced the time to market for the final product. The new design reduced the product cost without compromising on safety and reliability.   
whitepaper Quantum?Dot?Based Photonic Devices2007-10-01 Fujitsu
  Adopting nanometer-sized semiconductor particles, called quantum dots, in the active regions of photonic devices provides the characteristics specific to 3-dimensional quantum effects. This will greatly improve the performance of photonic devices in many respects. This paper is developing quantum-dot lasers and quantum-dot optical amplifiers through joint research conducted with the University of Tokyo. This paper introduces the development of technology for these devices, along with some recent results. For quantum-dot lasers, one has realized temperature-insensitive direct modulation at a modulation rate of 10 Gb/s in the 1.3-?m wavelength range. The paper has also fabricated high-performance, quantum-dot optical amplifiers with a wide bandwidth of over 100 nm, high gain of 20 dB, and high optical output power of over +20 dBm.   
whitepaper Carbon Nanotube Bumps for Thermal and Electric Conduction in Transistor2007-10-01 Fujitsu
  The continuous miniaturization of semiconductor chips has rapidly improved the performance of semiconductor products. However, thermal issues that affect semi- conductor chips are becoming more serious. For example, heat transfer has become a very serious problem in the CPUs of personal computers; high-frequency High-Power Amplifiers (HPAs) of mobile communication systems; and power control units of hybrid-car motors. To solve this problem, Fujitsu has been developing semi-conductor heat sinks that exploit the high thermal conductivity of Carbon NanoTubes (CNTs). This paper describes the CNT bumps that have been recently developed for transferring heat and electrically connecting the source, gate, and drain of the high-power, flip-chip amplifiers of mobile communication base stations.

whitepaper Innovative Manufacturing Activities in Fujitsu Group Plants2007-01-01 Fujitsu
  Fujitsu initiated innovative manufacturing activities company-wide in 2003, and is now promoting innovative activities at each plant under the guidance of a consultant for the Toyota Production System (TPS). This paper describes the innovative manufacturing activities undertaken at Fujitsu Component Limited (FCL), and then introduces Fujitsu IT Products Limited (FJIT) and the Fujitsu Nasu Plant (mobile system manufacturing), which are promoting innovative activities that began in April 2004 at their facilities under TPS consultant guidance. Finally, this paper examines related activities under way at Shimane Fujitsu Limited (SFJ), which has received guidance from a TPS consultant since April 2005.

whitepaper SDI Reduces Costs and Increases Efficiency With Standardized, Centralized Enterprise Resource Planning System2006-12-08 01:00:19 Oracle
  In past few years, SDI has moved into the semiconductor industry by using its stamping and etching expertise to make masks for the production of integrated circuits. To broaden its reach, SDI has set up affiliate relationships with internationally renowned manufacturers. In addition, SDI improved its marketing and manufacturing processes to attain the ISO9001 quality certification in 1994, and pass the UL QS-9001 quality certification in 1999. The company's expansion plans include moving some operations to China where it can operate more cost-effectively, but first SDI had to replace its legacy system with a Web-enabled enterprise resource planning (ERP) environment capable of supporting its short and long-term goals. SDI went live on Oracle E-Business Suite in 2000.   
whitepaper RoHS Compliance at Intel2006-12-22 01:00:22 Intel
  The Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive is a European Union (EU) directive that seeks to minimize the use of certain hazardous substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE). As a world leader in the EEE industry, Intel is committed to adhering to RoHS requirements. This white paper specifically addresses RoHS requirements as they pertain to Intel's telecommunication board and system-level products.   
whitepaper Benchmarking Nanotechnology for High-Performance and Low-Power Logic Transistor Applications2006-12-23 01:00:24 IEEE
  There has been tremendous progress made in the research of novel nanotechnology for future nanoelectronic applications. In particular, several emerging nanoelectronic devices such as carbon-nanotube Field-Effect Transistors (FETs), Si nanowire FETs, and planar III - V compound semiconductor (e.g., InSb, InAs) FETs, all hold promise as potential device candidates to be integrated onto the silicon platform for enhancing circuit functionality and also for extending Moore's Law. For high-performance and low-power logic transistor applications, it is important that these research devices are frequently benchmarked against the existing Si logic transistor data in order to gauge the progress of research. In this paper, the author uses four key device metrics to compare these emerging nanoelectronic devices to the state-of-the-art planar and nonplanar Si logic transistors.   
whitepaper Importance of an Open System Architecture in the Semiconductor Industry2005-09-01 03:00:04 Northrop Grumman
  The semiconductor industry has historically been an extremely dynamic, high-growth industry, with new device technologies being brought to market every day. That environment has prompted the rapid emergence and maturation of many application-specific processing tools and software solutions to meet manufacturing and time-to-market requirements. This paper describes the underlying architecture of the Semiconductor Computer-Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) Framework, its application to MESs, several implementation approaches with legacy MESs, and TRW's Integrated Manufacturing Solutions' approach to a CIM Framework-compliant MES.

  In Part I, we measured the frequency linearity of various cable designs using TARA Labs' Constant Current Impedance Testing (CCZT). Why do different conductor types of the same mass yield such different results? In a few words: electromagnetic flux linkage.   
whitepaper Texas Instruments Case Study: Fluoroware, Inc.2005-06-14 03:00:02
  Motorola, SGS Thomson and Wacker are among the companies using RFID technology in a patented, turnkey system developed by Fluoroware, Inc. The system, called FluoroTrac, is used by the semiconductor industry to eliminate product misprocessing, improve operator efficiency and increase equipment usage. The FluoroTrac system enables information on equipment usage to be generated so that management can more easily eliminate bottlenecks and smooth production flows.
