Computer-Aided Engineering of Semiconductor Integrated Circuits.

Abstract: : The objectives of this program are to remove the empiricism associated with the design and manufacturing of custom integrated circuits for military applications and to reduce the cost of these circuits by devising improved computer-aided engineering techniques. Efforts of research covered by this report are in the areas of (1) ion implantation and diffusion of dopants, (2) thermal oxidation, (3) chemical vapor deposition of silicon, and (4) device simulation and statistical circuit modeling.

Virtual and augmented reality application in production engineering teaching-learning processes

Abstract: Paper aims Structure virtual and augmented reality applications in engineering teaching-learning processes, with emphasis on production engineering, highlighting application gaps. Originality First studies that, to which subjects applied virtual and augmented reality in engineering teaching-learning processes, the gaps of application in production engineering, and a discussion about the impacts. Research method The research method applied was the systematic literature review. Main findings Structuring of virtual or augmented reality applications in engineering, discussion about the application in production engineering, opportunities for future research, how low application affects graduated professional education, consequently, organizational competitiveness. Implications for theory and practice The applications of virtual and augmented reality bring developing student skills more actively and cognitively, making training more complete, increasing their skills, and supporting the competitiveness of organizations through professionals who can contribute more broadly and effectively.

Integration of laser processing in machine tools and their economy

Abstract: The demand of machine users towards the complete processing of a workpiece in one setting requires the use of different processing technologies in one machine. In the past years lasers have found new applications in production engineering as a tool for surface modification, cutting, welding and marking. By combination of conventional metal cutting technologies with laser processes in one machine, the complete processing of a workpiece with different technologies in one setting can be realized. The advantages are the processing in one setting and the reduction of material flow between the production machines. The possibility of integrating lasers for material processing in a cutting machine are examined. Processing technology as well as different constructive solutions depending on the type of machine used and integration method are evaluated. Parallel to this approach, examinations of the economy of these systems are carried out.
