Once upon a time, integrated circuits (ICs) were built by the same companies that designed them. The design of an IC was tightly integrated with the manufacturing processes available within each ...

The strategic administration of production processes and personnel to maximize output, minimize errors and continually enhance product quality come under the general banner of "operations management." ...

Turning 3-dimensional product models into manufacturing process designs is no easy task. Kevin Marseilles, senior process designer with Delphi Corp.’s Saginaw Steering Systems Division, used to spend ...

Manufacturing is a fast-paced industry where success is dependent on timing and quality. That’s why it is crucial to constantly monitor every stage of the production process. Defining and tracking key ...

For decades there have been five basic types of manufacturing processes. They are distinct. Great design engineers understand the nuances of these processes and tailor their designs accordingly. There ...

A job shop is a type of manufacturing process in which small batches of a variety of custom products are made. In the job shop process flow, most of the products produced require a unique set-up and ...

A smart manufacturing environment is centered on the use of intelligent, connected production equipment and devices that allow for data-driven decision-making to optimize processes and productivity ...

Commoditization has led to a complete ecosystem for MEMs, lowering the barrier for entry and opening up new manufacturing and integration options. I recently gave an invited talk at the IEEE Inertial ...

The gate-all-around (GAA) semiconductor manufacturing process, also known as gate-all-around field-effect transistor (GAA-FET) technology, defies the performance limitations of FinFET by reducing the ...
