It’s not, “You say ‘tomato’ and I say ‘tomahto.’ ” With advanced process controls (APCs), you either know what they are or you don’t. If you do know, you know they give for-real, money-in-your-pocket ...

The refining and petrochemical industry is reliant on improving return on assets and lowering operating costs to be competitive. In these challenging times, doing more with less is essential to ...

In this article, as in industry, advanced process control (APC) refers primarily to multi-variable control. Multivariable control means adjusting multiple single-loop controllers in unison, to meet ...

Advanced logic scaling has created some difficult technical challenges, including a requirement for highly dense patterning. Imec recently confronted this challenge, by working toward the use of Metal ...

With these new capabilities and its widened operating window, the Paramount HFi provides advanced process control, high repeatability, a common exciter mode to synchronize multiple systems in cluster ...

Process control and simulation lie at the heart of modern industrial operations, enabling continuous monitoring, dynamic adjustment, and predictive optimisation of complex process systems.

As chips evolve toward stacked, heterogeneous assemblies and adopt more complex materials, engineers are grappling with new and often less predictable sources of variation. This is redefining what it ...
