Semiconductor Industry Resilient in 2021 and Expected to Grow: What does this mean for Inspection System Providers?

Despite the challenges of the global pandemic and resulting economic downturn, the worldwide demand for chips continues to increase, the industry’s growth is expected to continue into 2022.  IDC (International Data Corporation) predicts the semiconductor market will reach $600 billion by 2025.  With the rise in demand for semiconductors, the use of in-line inspection and…

3 Things to Consider When Transitioning from Mobile C-arm RIU’s to Flat Panel Detectors

  While there are many viable alternatives to Image Intensifier CCD RIUs (II-CCD RIUs), Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide (IGZO) flat panel detectors offer an interesting and promising option as a replacement. These panels could offer an ideal mix of performance versus cost, especially in larger panel options. With existing factories switching to IGZO panel production,…
