Evaluation Process for Semiconductor Fabrication Materials That Are Better for the Environment
Publisher's description
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.

As a major player in the semiconductor, flat panel TV and mobile phone markets, Samsung has become one of the fastest growing global brands over the past five years. But now Samsung is turning its attention to its new growth engine - the printer business - to expand its share of the lucrative corporate market. Samsung has a bold mission - to become a top tier player in the global laser printer market by 2012, narrowing the gap between it and the market leader HP. One of Samsung's advantages in developing its printer products is its ability to source many of its own hardware components, including processors, LCD panels, and memory chips, along with design and software.

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.

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.

This year alone, consumer confidence has been shaken over product quality, reliability and safety concerns within the food processing, electronics, automotive, toy, clothing and personal care industries. The next "Shoe" is just waiting to fall. Conservatively speaking, if one's business is effected, expect to spend more than a million dollars responding to a recall. While analysts and consultants urge companies to have an actionable crisis management plan in place, Zontec contends that it is possible to prevent a recall situation well before a product ever approaches crisis mode. Betting on recall and/or contamination insurance isn't enough. Because as soon as a product's reputation becomes publicly suspect, the rebuilding of brand equity and lost market share becomes an absolute financial, legal, public relations and logistics nightmare.

The School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) serves as the connector and integrator of Harvard's teaching and research efforts in engineering, applied sciences (including computer science), and technology. Within SEAS, the office of Computing and Information Technology's (CIT) CyberInfrastructure Labs (CI Labs) supports faculty, researchers, students, and staff by deploying and maintaining up-to-date, effective computing technologies - and serves as a technology adviser and collaborator to the broader Harvard community. With its collaborative computing focus and emerging technology test beds, the CIT CI Labs is an ideal environment for the implementation of scientific and engineering application streaming. The goal of the scientific application streaming project, as outlined in this white paper, is to simplify the deployment of engineering and scientific applications to a user population of around 1,000 students and faculty. Large, complex scientific and engineering applications are being deployed over a heterogeneous network architecture to a highly diverse client population. Initial results show install times decreasing from hours to minutes, as well as fewer problems caused by human error during complex installation and licensing procedures. As innovators among Harvard's IT community, the CI Labs anticipates wider implementation of application streaming, both within its user base and across Harvard.Â
