Semiconductor process engineers would love to develop successful process recipes without the guesswork of repeated wafer testing. Unfortunately, developing a successful process can’t be done without ...

In many social sciences, such as psychology and economics, there is an ongoing debate between whether a model should be based on Normative or Process analyses. A normative model is one which asks what ...

The SMCR model represents the process and phenomenon of communication. The acronym stands for source, message, channel and receiver, and this theory lays out the different components that form the net ...

Process engineers and integrators can use virtual process modeling to test alternative process schemes and architectures without relying on wafer-based testing. One important aspect of building an ...

An operations planning and economics improvement project at ConocoPhillips's Lake Charles, La., refinery successfully developed and implemented high-quality kinetic process models used for unit ...
