The small and complicated features of TSVs give rise to different defect types. Defects can form during any of the TSV ...

The most commonly seen defects at birth are congenital heart defects (CHD). These anomalies arise when there is a failure of the heart or its major blood vessels to form properly during embryonic ...

When you “snap” a photo with a point-and-shoot camera or a cell phone, you hope to obtain a blemish-free image. The makers of CMOS image sensors used in these and other electronic products have a ...

Women with pregestational diabetes are three to four times more likely to have a child with one or multiple birth defects compared with mothers with no diabetes, according to study results published ...

Scientists used Lorentz transmission electron microscopy (LTEM) to visualize topological defects. They were able to do so by passing electrons and observing their deflections through a thin magnetic ...

The range of materials that concrete contains, such as stone, chalk, and sand, scatters normal sound waves, making clear ...

The size and performance advantages of FinFETs are leading to a general industry adoption of these 3D transistors at the more advanced technology nodes. These complex transistors, however, exacerbate ...

Korean researchers revealed that efficiency losses in heterojunction solar cells arise from two coexisting defect types – dangling bonds and weak silicon-silicon bonds. Their findings explain how ...
