We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Semiconductor Manufacturing",
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 High-temperature IR sensor needs no cooling from
Micro-Epsilon UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "Noncontact sensor enables temperature measurements from - 40 to +975C in ambient temperatures up to 250C without any cooling of the sensor head".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Motion control distribution deal reached from
Motion Control Products: "ACS Motion Control's integrated drives are software configurable for AC servo, brushless DC or brushed DC motors".
In September 2007, we covered the news from Schmitt Europe
concerning its AR700 laser distance gauge
- take a look at Laser distance gauge provides fast results
which says: "The AR700 is designed to bring faster and more accurate measuring to applications in road profiling, tyre and rubber manufacturing, semiconductor manufacturing and general R and D".
Take a look also at the news release from Westside International, Product offers simple, quiet dehumidifying,
as well as Stepper motors incorporate internal drivers from EAO,
and PLM software proves popular in high-tech sector from PTC - Parametric Technology (UK).
