In the semiconductor news, wafers are always mentioned in terms of dimensions, such as 8-inch or 12-inch wafers, but what exactly is a so-called wafer? What does the 8 inches refer to? How difficult is it to produce large-sized wafers? The following is a step-by-step introduction to the most important foundation of semiconductors - what is a "wafer".

Water transfer printing can also be called surface coating transfer. In terms of name, it is a technology that can be transferred on uneven objects or surfaces to achieve a beautifying surface treatment. Currently available in a wide range, such as automotive interior decorative panels, locomotive panels, glasses, electrical appliances, plastics, ceramics, metals, and many other surface treatments. The transfer principle is actually very simple. Put a patterned water-soluble resin transfer film on the water surface, use the pressure of the water and add some transfer solvent, so that the pattern to be transferred can be transferred by the pressure of the water. It covers the surface of the object to be transferred, and then achieves the effect of beautifying the surface. What is the difference between thermal transfer and water transfer?

Electric discharge machining is a kind of special machining technology, which is widely used in mold manufacturing and machining industries. Electrical discharge machining can be used to machine superhard materials and workpieces with complex shapes that are difficult to machine with traditional cutting methods. It is usually used to machine materials that conduct electricity. It can machine complex materials such as titanium alloys, tool steels, carbon steels, and hard alloys. cavities or contours.

The third-generation semiconductor is currently the hottest topic in the high-tech field, and plays an indispensable role in the development of 5G, electric vehicles, renewable energy, and Industry 4.0. What is the third generation of semiconductors? In this article, we will take you to understand this key technology that can affect the future of the technology industry from the most simple and comprehensive perspective.

Motion control encompasses every technology related to the movement of objects. Motion control is also referred to as Servo Control or Robotics and is implemented in industrial processes to move specific loads in a controlled way. It is the core technology of factory automation and is the real-time management of the position and speed of mechanical moving parts according to the expected motion trajectory and specified motion parameters.

Life is full of inventions that provide convenient services and entertainment: mobile phones, MRTs, notebooks, computers, cars, etc. These exquisite finished products presented to consumers are all processed by a series of complex processes and assembled. Among them, in the industrial process of the product, the machine tool has a very critical position, without it, it is impossible to produce equipment and parts, so it has won the title of "The Mother of Machinery". However, despite its important role, it is little known. Therefore, in this article, we will expose the state of the machine tool industry, understand its contribution to the manufacturing industry, and extend the visible development in the future.

Drilling machine is a general-purpose machine tool with a wide range of uses, which can process parts such as drilling, reaming, flat plane and tapping. When the drilling machine is equipped with process equipment, it can also carry out boring, and when the drilling machine is equipped with a universal worktable, it can also carry out drilling, and reaming.

The so-called broach refers to the order of size, the rough cutter and the fine cutter. Most of the cutters are mainly installed on the broaching machine, which is called the broach. Broach is a forming tool used for broaching. There are multiple rows of cutter teeth on the surface of the cutter, and the size and shape of each row of cutter teeth increase and change sequentially from the cutting end to the cutting end. When the broach makes a broaching motion, each tooth cuts a certain thickness of metal from the workpiece, and finally obtains the required size and shape.

Wafer-level packaging (WLP) has gained traction over the past decade as the semiconductor industry continues to push for generations of higher-performance chips. Back-end packaging technologies are becoming increasingly important in meeting the demands of low-latency, high-bandwidth, and low-cost semiconductor devices.

Edge Computing is a distributed network architecture that allows data to be processed and analyzed closer to its source, moving resources such as computing, storage, and network bandwidth as close to users (or endpoints) as possible. Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), artificial intelligence, big data analysis to 5G networks, edge computing can be said to be the expansion and extension of IT environments and computing technologies that seek common ground in differences.
