We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Semiconductor Industry",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Moisture analyser monitors fabrication from
Michell Instruments, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Pura plus is an on-line trace moisture event sensor designed for UHP inert gas applications in semiconductor fabs".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Electronics company makes CAD choice from
CoCreate Software: "Apic Yamada's production equipment must accommodate frequent customer-driven design and specification changes".
In October 2007, we covered the news from Sensor Technology
concerning its TorqSense torque sensor
- take a look at Torque sensor provides extruder data
which says: "The TorqSense torque sensor collects data via a radio signal rather than being hardwired to the extruder".
Take a look also at the news release from Fogale Nanotech, Metrology company opens LA office,
as well as Pumps resist wear and chemical attack from Fluid Metering,
and Vibration isolators aid nano-research from Minus K Technology.
