ams´ Foundry is aimed at fabless companies, chip designers and integrated semiconductor providers which don’t have their own Wafer factory.
During the ten years in industry, he worked on MOS/MNOS VLSI technology, wafer scale integration, Ultra-fast optical spectroscopy, nonlinear optics of semiconductors and organic polymers, integrated optics and optoelectronic devices.
It was developed for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), which require these features, but is also used to excavate trenches for high-density capacitors for DRAM and more recently for creating through silicon via's (TSV)'s in advanced 3D wafer level packaging technology .
Headquartered in Chandler, Arizona, Everspin owns and operates a manufacturing line for its proprietary magnetic back-end-of-line wafer processing, and leverages standard CMOS wafers from foundries.
In Scotland and Ireland they are known as "sliders" or an ice cream wafer, and are usually served as vanilla ice cream sandwiched between two rectangular chocolate wafers.
Wafer is also second cousin once removed to both the baseball player, Ken Weafer & Footballer Graham Knight & is third cousin to Richard B. Fitzgibbon, Jr..
In 2008, Joe Clay appeared in an award-winning Canadian documentary entitled Rockabilly 514 directed by Patricia Chica and Mike Wafer.
For decades (i.e., in the late 1970s), the industry had moved away from metal (most typically aluminum, evaporated in a vacuum chamber onto the wafer surface), as the gate material in the MOS stack due to fabrication complications.
The method of attachment to the wafer varies between manufactures and includes permanent (one-piece), press-on/click ("Tupperware" type), turning locking rings and "sticky" adhesive mounts.
Ptelea trifoliata, the hoptree or wafer ash, a deciduous shrub or small tree species native to North America
Regular news and feature articles covered topics including Wafer Processing, Lithography, Yield Management, Metrology, Semiconductor Packaging and Wafer Cleaning.
Wafer attended Pineview High School in Lisbon, Louisiana during his freshman, sophomore and junior years of high school.
Wever, de Wever, or Wevers is a Dutch surname meaning 'weaver', related to the German surname Weber and the English surnames Weaver, Wafer and Webber.
In 2002 Zarlink sold its foundry in Bromont, Quebec, Canada to Dalsa Corporation, and its wafer fabrication facility in Plymouth, UK to X-FAB Semiconductor Foundries AG.
