Low-vibration structural & mechanical design Inotera Memories was founded in 2003 as a joint venture between German firm Infineon Technologies and Taiwanese firm Nanya Technology Corporation (NTC). Inotera focuses on the production of DRAM products on 300 mm wafers at geometries of 0.11 micron and below. Fab 1 was the first 300mm facility for…
Industrial & OSHA Noise Control Using Sound Intensity to Diagnose Motor-Pump Noise VACC recently participated in a project involving the design of a wastewater treatment plant. Design noise levels were exceeding acceptable limits, so all approaches to noise reduction were being considered. The dominant noise source was an 1800 RPM motor driving a pump through…
Nanoscale vibration design Low-noise design The Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT) is an interdisciplinary nanoscale research facility jointly operated by Sandia National Laboratories and Los Alamos National Laboratories. A core facility and two gateway facilities are planned, with one gateway located at the Los Alamos site. One unique aspect of the facility is the interdisciplinary…
