Fundaments of Materials Measurement

Understanding the properties of materials (both natural and man-made) is important for a variety of reasons.  Materials such as metallic materials, semiconductors, organic materials (such as polymers) and compound semiconductors have provided profound benefits over the last century. New and emerging materials such as oxide semiconductors, carbon nano-tubes (CNT) and graphene promise to provide new benefits over the coming century.

Every material is unique in in terms of its electrical, optical and structural properties. It is these unique material properties that allow devices and components such as solar cells, sensors, logic devices, memories, interconnect, displays, emitters and packaging materials to perform their specified tasks. In turn, the devices and components just described can be used in other equipment such as machines, transportation equipment, IT gadgets, etc.

For these reasons, innovations in material science and engineering form the basis for many next generation technologies and products. The various test methods discussed in this webinar form an important basis for these innovations.
