Evaluation Process for Semiconductor Fabrication Materials That Are Better for the Environment | 2008-02-21 | Intel |
| The successful future of the semiconductor industry is dependent upon the development of an array of new and novel materials to make semiconductor devices. In parallel, there is a growing sentiment in public policy and regulatory forums for a highly conservative precautionary approach to approving the introduction of new chemicals into commerce. Intel's business model of Copy Exactly! requires new material development very early in the technology development cycle. Therefore, Intel's approach to chemical development, and selection of materials, must incorporate consideration of the environmental impact of its policies and materials extremely early. | |||

How OLED Works | 2008-01-01 | OLED TV's and OLED Displays |
| The Organic Light-Emiting Diodes (OLEDs) have very huge benefit: they consume less power and offer brighter displays than the traditional LCD (Liquid Crystal Displays) or LEDs (Light-Emiting Diodes). This paper describes how the technology of OLED works and what kinds of displays might be possible. A light-emiting organic diode is the semiconductor solid-state device. It is generally 100 to 500 nm thick. There are the designs with 2 or with 3 layers of the organic compounds. The much common is a tow layer version, and therefore the focus of this paper is on this version.
