lower power dissipation, device fabrication will require innovative solutions to minimise leakage resulting from process damage and electrostatic control. Ultra-shallow, abrupt, damage-free junctions with high active dopant concentrations are essential for better off-state leakage control in modern highly scaled nano- electronics.


With the advent of non-planar device architectures and high mobility compound semiconductors, doping conformality and minimal lattice damage are increasingly important, and cooperative research efforts are needed to meet ITRS roadmap requirements. A promising defect-free and conformal doping alternative, monolayer doping, will be investigated, and developed for commercial use.


“This partnership with Screen is a key component of our overall strategy to develop critical infrastructure needed for major industry transitions. Innovative process technologies like monolayer doping are essential to enable transitions to non-planar and to non-silicon high mobility channels, while minimising processing induced damage, cost and complexity,” said Dan Armbrust, president and CEO of Sematech. “We are excited to combine our materials and process technology strengths with Screen’s leading tool engineering strengths to bring innovative solutions for next generation device manufacturers.”


“We are very pleased to collaborate with Sematech and its leading-edge industry partners on advanced doping techniques for next generation devices,” said Tadahiro Suhara, President of the Semiconductor Equipment Company at Screen. “We believe that this alliance could be a key driver for improving annealing processes and address associated defect issues for manufacturers to continue scaling of CMOS devices.”


Ken Koffman elected to QuEST forum executive board


JDSU says the election expands its leadership in establishing and implementing telecom industry quality standards


Ken Koffman, vice president of global business quality for JDSU’s Communications Test and Measurement business segment, has been named to the Executive Board of QuEST Forum.


QuEST Forum is a global association of communications equipment manufacturers and service providers dedicated to industry-wide network performance excellence. JDSU is the first communications test company elected to its board.


As a member of QuEST Forum’s Executive Board, Koffman helps drive the continuous development and implementation of the TL 9000 quality management system, a set of global standards designed to safeguard the quality of communications services and products worldwide. JDSU is using TL 9000 as the basis for its Communications Test business quality system.


“Our collaboration with customers and partners is the cornerstone of our success,” said David Heard, president of JDSU’s Communications Test and Measurement business segment. “Ken’s election to QuEST Forum’s Executive Board provides even more opportunity to work with the world’s leading network operators and equipment manufacturers to improve quality across our industry. Our customers face unprecedented bandwidth demand, and we are committed to innovating new technologies that support their drive to achieve the highest levels of quality and reliability.”


TL 9000 requires registrants to submit performance measurement results into a
