Detecting macro-defects early in the wafer processing flow is vital for yield and process improvement, and it is driving innovations in both inspection techniques and wafer test map analysis. At the ...

Complex lead halides with the perovskite structure has been extensively studied in recent years in terms of radiation hardness. Many researchers found surprisingly high resistance of various ...

With a new mathematical model, a team of biophysicists has revealed fresh insights into how biological tissues are shaped by the active motion of structural imperfections known as "topological defects ...

Scientists in China analyzed defective solar cells based on Czochralski (Cz) silicon wafers and found Swirl defects may be responsible for an efficiency drop of up to 4.7%. According to them, the ...

Because permeation and plasma-induced degradation are continuous rather than episodic, their effects accumulate gradually.
