2006-03-01	IC testing pushes zero defects in autos The industry buzz on zero-defect initiatives is growing and IC manufacturers are taking the challenge to satisfy automotive customers.
2004-07-01	Handling a storm of packaging defects The presence of internal packaging defects in IC packages can cause havoc with reliability; but acoustic micro imaging provides a way to control costs.
2013-06-05	Graphene still the strongest material even with defects Columbia Engineering researchers demonstrated that graphene, even if stitched together from many small crystalline grains, is almost as strong as graphene in its perfect crystalline form.
2007-11-12	Former employee sues AMD for son's birth defects A former AMD employee sued the company and a regional medical association of being responsible for birth defects of her son, born with a missing lower right arm and lifelong cognitive deficits.
2005-10-06	Fluorine sweeps high-k defects out of the gate Hafnium oxide, the anointed successor to silicon dioxide in the gate stack, has a new ally: fluorine.
1999-11-01	Finding manufacturing process defects with ATPG Rising chip complexity has increased the probability of manufacturing process defects, which inevitably compromises process yield. Automatic Test pattern Generation will help you identify these defects, with the added advantage that it is technology independent.
2009-03-31	Finding defects in safety-critical code The methods that safety-critical developers use are undeniably effective at reducing risk, so there are lessons to be learned for developers who do not write safety-critical code. Two techniques stand out as being most responsible: advanced static analysis and rigorous testing.
2005-08-05	Fewer defects found in Linux kernel An analysis of the latest Linux kernel has found that it contains fewer critical defects than the previous version, despite an increase in the amount of code, a source-code analysis firm said Wednesday.
2000-10-01	Evaluating solder-paste defects A robust solder-system evaluation saves manufacturing facilities unnecessary expenses.
