Going from Macro to Micro in Semiconductor Inspections

Macro-to-micro viewing capabilities of digital microscopes can help overcome common challenges in the inspection process.

Batteries? We don’t need no stinking batteries.

We’re still used to thinking that low-power chips for “mobile” or “Internet-of-Things (IoT)” applications will be battery powered…but the near ubiquity of lithium-ion cells powering batteries could be threatened by capacitors and energy-harvesting circuits connected to photovoltaic/thermoelectric/piezoelectric micro-power sources. At…
