Microelectronic

The investigation may be concerned with a crystal surface, whose structure is of interest in microelectronic applications. ❋ Unknown (1986)

It is an industry association of nearly 300 companies in the microelectronic, semiconductor, photovoltaic and software sectors, clustered around Dresden. ❋ Unknown (2011)

"It turns out that we've discovered a lot of ways to control materials at the molecular level as we went through building microelectronic devices," Dr. Hedrick said. ❋ Ron Winslow (2011)

These losses have been driven by the migration of microelectronic manufacturing to low-cost foreign locations, such as Taiwan, Singapore, China, and Korea. ❋ Michele Nash-Hoff (2011)

Its products, including microelectronic components and test systems, are used by companies in the space, avionics, defense, commercial wireless communications and medical markets. ❋ Lynn Cowan (2010)

Later, more compact devices were developed with the advent of microelectronic circuitry. ❋ BA Haller (2008)

But advancing microelectronic manufacturing processes led to higher and higher resolution (more megapixels), until now even the old curmudgeons admit that the latest digital cameras rival the best of the old films. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Rather, these sophisticated sentients start miniaturizing their technology, eventually uploading their minds into some sort of microelectronic computer, at which point colonizing star systems will seem as tempting as oxcart travel. ❋ Seth Shostak (2010)

Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) – a pezoelectric ceramic – is the material of choice for transducers, actuators, and microelectronic sensors. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Ferromagnetic thin films of metallic materials — ranging in thickness from fractions of a nanometer to several micrometers — are layered in patterns on a substrate (such as silicon) during the manufacture of many microelectronic devices that use magnetic properties, such as computer hard drives. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Without admitting any wrongdoing, Northrop Grumman last week agreed to the $325-million settlement involving allegedly defective microelectronic parts manufactured and marketed by TRW Inc. from 1992 to 2002, before TRW was acquired Northrop. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The suit alleges that officials at TRW Inc., which Northrop acquired in 2002, previously worked with Aerospace Corp., a federally funded space research outfit, to cover up problems with certain widely used microelectronic parts. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The first part of the station was put into a 250-mile-high orbit in 1998, with more than 15 nations participating amid promises of scientific breakthroughs, in areas from medicine and biology to manufacturing microelectronic components. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The focus of his group Vicinics is on the area of microelectronic solutions by printing. ❋ Jak Boumans (2008)

Crichton also wrote a book called ‘Prey’ – all about how nanotechnology will give rise to a swarm of biotech-microelectronic hybrids that devour all organic matter in their path, threatening the very existence of life on Earth. ❋ Unknown (2006)

Leading a team of engineering students, Bruce Smith, RIT professor of microelectronic engineering and director of the Center for Nanolithography Research in the Kate Gleason College of Engineering, developed a method — known as evanescent wave lithography, or EWL — capable of optically imaging the smallest-ever semiconductor device geometry. ❋ Edward Willett (2006)

Electrically conducting, it could provide the fabric for new kinds of microelectronic devices and circuits, but it is hard to make. ❋ Unknown (2006)

But leadership does not necessarily mean that the U.S. economy will grow faster or that American workers will find more high-paying jobs: emphasizing light-sensitive microelectronic devices may well divert capital and skilled workers from other important industries, and the companies that commercialize it could easily have much of their employment abroad. ❋ Unknown (2008)
