Introduction Photolithography is a key step in the manufacturing of semiconductor chips. Photolithography works by shining light (laser) through a pattern (mask) onto a silicon wafer with photosensitive coating (resist). This changes the properties of the coating allowing manufactures to chemically remove the parts of the coating based on the exposure or lack of exposure […]

AWS for Semiconductor Design, Verification, and Fabrication It’s no secret that speed-to-market is driving a new competitive reality in the semiconductor industry. For both chip manufacturing and design, the pressure to stay ahead of the curve is forcing semiconductor companies to gain greater control of their supply chains, react to changing business realities, and deliver […]

Large industrial enterprises in manufacturing, oil and gas, and electric transmission and distribution collect operational technology (OT) data from millions of sensors. Much of this valuable data remains unused sitting in historians with 80% of the world’s largest oil and gas companies and 65% of the industrial companies in the Fortune 500 relying on the […]

The shift to a remote workforce has presented a number of challenges for all companies, including manufacturers. Secure access to sensitive data, potentially in large files, and requirements for high performance on-premises compute equipment for complex engineering workloads is making running engineering and business operations remotely difficult. Creo is a market-leading suite of desktop CAD/CAM/CAE […]

Architects, builders, engineers, surveyors, and related professionals who rely on reality capture tools and data can significantly reduce costs, reduce time, and make better decisions by using precise and readily available geospatial information for project planning and execution. To provide better access to spatial data, Hexagon announced HxDR, an AWS cloud-based digital reality visualization platform. HxDR […]
