Polymer

Wafer wands made of PEEK™ polymer, an engineering thermoplastic, are said to help prevent contamination during fabrications and handling of semiconductor wafers. An alternative to conventional metal tweezers, the manual wands reportedly have a patent-pending design to ensure that wafers are handled softly but firmly, without excessive touch.

Steel

Micro-Melt® CD #1 alloy is a shock-resistant cold work die steel made by a patented powder metallurgy process called Micro-Melt Process. Steel manufactured by this method has a refined microstructure with very fine grain size, and smaller, more uniformly distributed carbide particles useful in coining applications. Due to its wear resistance, it can be treated in salt or controlled atmosphere furnaces, and secondary hardened at 1,066C.

Embedded Angles for Medical Products
February 21, 2pm EST Tuesday
Thanks to embedded electronics, medical devices are getting smaller and smarter than ever. Pacemakers and implantable defibrillators are now able to call physicians. MRIs, CT scanners, and ultrasound machines are gaining mobility. And the venerable Band-Aid may soon be able to detect illnesses ranging from fevers to heart arrhythmias. On February 21, join Design News senior editor Charles Murray for a wide-ranging discussion, "Embedded Angles for Medical Products," which will explore the latest developments in medical electronics. The discussion will examine advances in medical device technology and offer an inside look at the embedded electronics behind it.
