Fab cycle time improvement through inventory control : a wafer starts approach
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Intel's Colorado Springs wafer fabrication facility, known internally as F23, has undertaken several initiatives to reduce cycle time including High Precision Maintenance (HPM), content reduction through the application ... -
Fab trees for designing complex 3D printable materials
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)With more 3D printable materials being invented, 3D printers nowadays could replicate not only geometries, but also appearance and physical properties. On the software side, the tight coupling between geometry and material ... -
Fables of undiscovered cities

Fabrication and application of patterned magnetic media
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)In order to overcome the superparamagnetism in thin film magnetic recording media, a novel magnetic medium, called patterned medium, is studied here as a potential candidate for the future hard disk storage application. ... -
Fabrication and applications of in-fiber semiconductor and metal microspheres
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Currently, the synthesis of semiconducting or metal microspheres has occurred via top-down approaches, such as through ball milling or e-beam lithography, or via bottom-up approaches, such as colloidal chemistry. Top-down ... -
Fabrication and assembly of micron-scale ceramic components
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)The micron-scale manufacturing industry has grown to hundreds of billions of dollars since the advent of the transistor in 1947. Increasing demands for integration of surface mount components, greater use of portable ... -
Fabrication and buckling of thin spherical shells containing precise geometric imperfections
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)We revisit the classic problem of buckling of thin spherical shells under uniform pressure and explore the effect that geometric imperfections can have on their buckling behavior. Since the 1960s, numerous theoretical and ... -
