About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Thermo Fisher Scientific Announces a New-Generation, Fully Automated (S)TEM Metrology Solution for Increased Productivity and Data Quality Assurance in Semiconductor Manufacturing

Thermo Scientific Metrios 6 Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope ((S)TEM) is designed to meet an industry need for faster access to large-volume, high-quality data; newly designed hardware and advanced machine learning techniques aim to optimize performance and reduce operating expenses

Thermo Fisher Scientific, the world leader in serving science, has introduced the Thermo Scientific™ Metrios™ 6 Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope ((S)TEM) — a new-generation, fully automated (S)TEM metrology solution designed to help enhance productivity and deliver data quality assurance for high-volume semiconductor manufacturing.

The Metrios 6 (S)TEM enables fully automated TEM metrology and characterization workflows with up to 20% in average productivity improvement compared to the previous generation of the Thermo Scientific Metrios (S)TEM.

The more complex the semiconductor device 3D architecture, the more exact the in-depth metrology and characterization processes must be. As a proven leader in high-impact innovation, Thermo Fisher sees firsthand that the atomic-scale 3D intricacies in today’s devices are driving a need for a highly automated (S)TEM platform to enable faster access to large-volume, high-quality data and help accelerate learning cycles.

Built to increase productivity and accelerate data acquisition—therefore facilitating yield improvements and reducing time-to-market—the Metrios 6 (S)TEM incorporates industry-leading hardware and machine-learning algorithms to obtain large-volume high-quality data from complex devices and novel materials rapidly.

“Manufacturing semiconductors in today’s increasingly complex technological landscape demands not only high throughput and resource optimization, but also a larger volume of TEM data than ever before," said Mohan Iyer, vice president and general manager, semiconductor, at Thermo Fisher Scientific. "To address these challenges, we are proud to introduce the Metrios 6 automated (S)TEM metrology solution that boosts productivity through innovative hardware advancements and powerful software enhancements. With the Metrios 6 microscope, semiconductor manufacturers can now access actionable data faster, while simultaneously increasing tool and human resource productivity, thus accelerating semiconductor development cycles."

New features and capabilities compared to previous Metrios generations include:

  • Smart Stage fully automated sample insertion and retraction mechanism eliminates manual operation and potential for human errors, enabling customers to perform high-resolution imaging at a faster pace.
  • New Thermo Scientific Ultra-X EDS detection system offers fast compositional characterization and elemental mapping to ease challenging analysis on the most beam-sensitive materials and enable at least two times faster data collection.
  • Newly designed objective lens and source innovations enable voltage switching in minutes versus hours, higher-efficiency (S)TEM and EDS acquisition and uncompromised resolution.
  • Machine-learning-enabled automation eliminates tedious recipe generation for routine (S)TEM analysis and provides automated workflows with flexibility to generate large volume data without using highly skilled operators.
