Kicking off this Peer Exchange®, Riley Murphy, PhD, Senior Chemist at Linde Gas & Equipment, introduces the panel: Fuhe Li, PhD, Vice President and General Manager at Covalent Metrology; Ruth Merrifield, PhD, Inorganic Technical Product Manager at PerkinElmer; and Katsu Kawabata, Chairman of Rorze IAS, Inc. The panelists discuss their diverse backgrounds and together set the stage for a deep dive into the top efficiency challenges semiconductor manufacturers face today.
Key discussion topics include:
- The impact of shrinking node sizes and new materials on fab efficiency.
- The need for advanced analytical techniques to ensure quality and yield.
- The growing complexity of global supply chains and regulatory compliance.
