ABSTRACT:

We are now in a very exciting period of time when many new and disruptive technologies emerge across a wide range of industries, making the existing technologies obsolete faster than anyone could anticipate. The new products with emerging technologies are generally smaller, lighter, stronger, more reliable and cheaper. To achieve all these, process control has becoming more important than ever, which gives good opportunities for various metrology tools to be incorporated into the advanced manufacturing processes. This leads to new challenges to integrate the metrology tools into the manufacturing tools. In this talk, I will review and compare several metrology tools and their applications in nanotechnology, and discuss about some of the challenges in integrating the tools into the manufacturing process.

SPEAKER BIOGRAPHY:

Dr. Min Yang joined Bruker Nano Surfaces as Director of Applications Development, responsible for developing new applications for tribology, optical and stylus metrology, and optical coordinate measurement. Min has over 20 years of experience in tribology, metrology and failure analysis, mostly in the data storage business in Silicon Valley. She started her career as a tribology integration engineer for head/disk interface designs and held a number of positions at IBM and Western Digital in tribology and failure analysis. Prior joining Bruker, Min was an Engineering Director at Western Digital, responsible for the development of tribology and failure analysis testing on a wide variety of instruments including, SEM/EDX, AFM, FIB, TOF-SIMS, FTIR, Raman, optical analysis tools, and test chambers. Min holds a BSEE from Beijing University of Technology, a Masters in Materials Science from Beijing Aeronautical Materials Institute, and both a Masters in Mechanical Engineering and a PhD in System Engineering from UC San Diego.
