KLA-Tencor Announces Upgrades All Around

by Bryon Moyer

Nothing can ruin a die like a hunk of debris landing someplace inopportune.

Of course, it all depends on what constitutes “debris.” Not from a material standpoint – a chunk of anything that you didn’t put there on purpose is likely to be a problem – but rather from the point of view of size. Looked at in a Zen way, if a mote lands someplace in the middle of something bigger than itself without disturbing anything, does a production manager make any noise?  Read More

Connecting the Dots

Hi Brian,

Thank you for your post. Your name and address have been received by Altera and you should be getting your kit any day now!

Thanks again! Amelia

Connecting the Dots

Nothing received.

I'm bummed because I won the board in the previous fish fry, on January 13th, but I've not received it yet, and there's not even any contact from Amelia or Altera via email.

Amelia, or anyone from Altera, are you still reading old ...

Does the World Need a New Microcontroller Family?

I agree completely with your conclusions. The ARM community is taking over the embedded world by storm. Large semiconductor manufacturers, like Texas Instruments, for example, are standardizing on ARM, which results in a fertile environment for a stronger...

A New Crop of Wafer Inspection Tools

Do you think we'll ever get to the point where we're printing features smaller than we can automatically inspect?

The Importance of Being Modular

Kevin,

Fair enough. For what it's worth, there was an open invitation to multiple FPGA companies including some active recruitment efforts.

You know what they say - you can bring the horse to the water ... wink

Bridging the Gap

Hi Amelia,
I would really like this kit and as this is the fun week I would like to use it to make a fully synchronous PinBall machine with a cycle accurate switching of multiple pins at the same time. Also to increase my luck I did send you a invitatio...

The Importance of Being Modular

Raj,

I appreciate the amount of effort required to get something adopted as a real, live open standard, and I agree that Xilinx was successful in getting FMC to be one.

However, from my perspective, the industry missed an opportunity for both of th...

The Importance of Being Modular

Kevin,

Great article!

Since you expressed some skepticism, I want to clarify that FMC is indeed an open industry-standard interface. It was developed under the auspices of VITA by a variety of companies, including Xilinx, and is an approved ANSI st...

The Importance of Being Modular

Do you have experience with kits that use FMC and/or HSMC cards?
