What a great introduction, concise history and overview of the rise of the microchip. "The Rise and Rise of the Microchip - Chips with Everything". Well worth a listen. Also nicely highlights the impact of key pioneering companies and individuals within those companies.
Like the first integrated circuit, credited partly to Jack Kilby at Texas Instruments (TI), Spicer Consulting also has it's origins in TI, with three talented engineers, Denis Spicer, John Sackett and Chris Black, based at the Bedford, UK manufacturing facility founding Spicer Consulting Limited in 1995.
The Spicer team recognised that one of the factors that might limit the realisation of Moore's law was the impact of magnetic field interference on the performance of SEM tools used to resolve ICs on silicon - with the scale of circuits reducing and the density of circuits increasing, the relative importance of SEM resolution also increased proportionately - and, thus, the importance of accurately sensing and cancelling the local magnetic field in the vicinity of the operational space for the SEM tool.
Thankfully, the Spicer magnetic field sensor and active cancellation technology has evolved and improved over time to support the performance of SEM tools - and we are continuing this journey.
We're proud to be one of the enabling technologies that makes the bigger companies including, ultimately, global chip manufacturer's look good!
