Smarter Metrics, GPU Scale, and AI-Driven Workflows for Computational Lithography
At advanced nodes, observed defectivity, variability, and process-window behavior increasingly extend beyond what EPE and CD metrics can characterize. Closing that gap requires new ways to model, optimize, and measure patterning as well
Sir Arthur C. Clarke Deserves a Nobel Prize
By Richard Curtin
Ever since the Silicon Catalyst 2023 Semiconductor Industry Forum (“Welcome to our AI Wonderland”) I’ve been convinced that the Nobel Prize committee needs to consider awarding a posthumous award to Sir Arthur.
To remind you, Sir Arthur’s “2001: A Space Odyssey” movie was released in 1968. At that point in time… Read More
