Texas Instruments - Kilby Imaging Lab Tour
March 2,
2007
|
 Fred
Clark hosted a lab tour for six Science Club students and
three Eastfield faculty/staff.
The Kilby Imaging Lab produces digital images of small technological
devices (for example a microchip from a cell phone), for
materials analysis (so the engineers who sent in the particular
specimen can then use the images to figure out how to improve
the manufacturing process).
They showed us equipment for techniques including Scanning
Electron Microscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy, and
Focused Ion Beam technology.
Students were fascinated to see this unique work environment,
and everyone felt honored to be allowed into a high security
facility.
