The optimisation of process planning has emerged as a pivotal aspect of modern manufacturing, where genetic algorithms (GAs) and hybrid techniques are leveraged to address the combinatorial complexity ...

Decision making is a critical step in semiconductor technology development. R&D semiconductor engineers must consider different design and process options early in the development of a next-generation ...

When merging optical functions, one may need to provide for the continuous propagation of light across a portion of the chip from one structure to another. To minimize or eliminate any trade-offs in ...
