We explore how members of a community of practice learn new tools and techniques when environmental shifts undermine existing expertise. In our 20-month comparative field study of medical assistant…
Although there is ample evidence of discrimination against women in the workplace, it can be difficult to understand what factors contribute to discriminatory behavior. We use an experiment to both…
Wafer test is carried out after integrated circuits (IC) fabrication to screen out bad dies. In addition, the results can be used to identify problems in the fabrication process and improve manufac…
In this study, the imaging of metal ions and nanoparticles deposited on a structured silicon surface was investigated using a laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS)…
Wafer map defect pattern recognition provides useful clues to yield learning. However, most wafer maps have no special spatial patterns and are full of noises, which make pattern recognition diffic…
