Knovel Enhances Semiconductor & Electronics Subject Area with Valuable
Content
IEE’s EMIS Datareviews Series and Springer-Verlag’s Landolt Bornstein Added
New York, NY—October 6, 2005—Knovel Corporation (www.knovel.com
<http://www.knovel.com/> ), a leading provider of revolutionary Web-based
information services, today announced major additions to its Semiconductors
& Electronics Subject Area. The Electronic Materials Information Service
(EMIS) Datareviews and the Electronic Materials and Semiconductors systems
from Springer-Verlag’s Landolt Bornstein on Knovel will help researchers in
the Semiconductor industry meet increasing demands to deliver smaller boards
and chips and faster process times.
These content additions come at an important time, as materials-intensive
technologies like high-speed, high-density storage and displays are
converging with microelectronics and nanotechnology. Design challenges are
forcing the development of new materials that represent an increasing
proportion of the cost of new semiconductors. Easy access to trusted
information about these new materials is critical to industry professionals.
The EMIS Datareviews series, published by The Institute of Electronic
Engineers (IEE), offers guidance on the most appropriate materials to use
for particular applications, based entirely on input from experts in the
field. According to the Engineering Science and Education Journal, “there
is a great deal of factual information in this [series] that cannot be
obtained easily from other sources. The authors are all renowned scientists
from the world’s most important research facilities in both the public and
industrial sectors.”
Landolt Bornstein, Group IV, Volume 5, presents phase equilibria and
thermodynamic data of binary alloy systems. “I had a chance to test our
product extensively” said Dr. Rainer Poerschke, Head of the
Landolt-Börnstein Department, Springer-Verlag. “It is fantastic what you
have done with our PDFs!”
“We are developing Knovel Library into a resource that is used by every
scientist and engineer in their daily work,” said Delores Meglio, Editorial
Director of Knovel Corporation. “The EMIS Datareviews series and Landolt
Bornstein enhance our coverage of the Semiconductors & Electronics Subject
Area with trustworthy data from industry experts.”
