Pioneer Companies in Semiconductor Industry

Image
Varied shades of transformations and evolutions have been observed in semiconductor history and present scenario. Below are three main pioneers had rooted their pillars and had brought revolution in the semiconductor world. Fairchild Semiconductor International Inc.: This USA based semiconductor industry kick-started its journey in 1957. It is reputedly labeled as “pioneer” because of its dexterity in furnishing transistors and integrated circuits. Since 1957, it is marching to provide the world with innovative global energy solutions. The company is crafting its success graph by catering semiconductor-based solutions, analog, sensors etc using these innovative and uniquely manufactured products engineers can seamlessly solve their complex problems be it in automobiles, computing field, medical, aeronautics any you name it. Hence, it can be derived that with latest semiconductor technology this company is thriving its best to solve consumers’ alpha to omega problems.

5 Stages Of IC Fabrication, You Will Be Amazed at Knowing!

Image
An integrated Circuit – IC, is the term that even every kid is aware of! The IC fabrication itself an interesting process to explore about. Imagine an IC which can’t be viewed with a naked eye and requires a microscope for, then what would be its manufacturing process like? Do you know an IC incorporates millions of components within? These components are transistors, capacitors, diodes etc. Let’s have a glance at a bunch of processes towards semiconductor fabrication . 1. Wafer Production Only wafer production consists of series of processes one after another. Firstly, silicon, fetched from sand, is heated to form a liquid. Silicon’s small piece is dipped in this liquid and then taken out to cool. With the use of wafer slicing machine, it’s cut into thin wafers with a thickness around 0.1 to 0.25 inches. After that, it passes through the process of polishing and cleansing followed by exposure to ultra pure oxygen. 2.  Masking Masking is an essential part of IC
