QuantumDiamonds Brings Contactless Current Imaging Closer to Inline Inspection

QuantumDiamonds GmbH (QD) has demonstrated a novel method for imaging electrical current inside a semiconductor structure without making physical contact with it. The technique removes the constraint that has kept quantum-sensing based current imaging inside the failure analysis lab and marks the foundational step on QD’s path toward inline inspection in high-volume manufacturing.

Why Surface Roughness Specifications Are Shifting from Ra to Sa

Surface roughness directly impacts sealing performance, friction, wear, coating adhesion, fatigue life, and overall product quality. Yet many manufacturing specifications still rely on Ra, a parameter developed nearly a century ago from a single 2D measurement trace. As modern surfaces become increasingly engineered and complex, manufacturers are discovering that traditional roughness measurements do not always provide the complete picture.
