Digitization is viewed as the capability to utilize digital technologies for generating processing, sharing and transacting information. Studies show that digitization has now become ubiquitous. In almost all the sectors, we routinely interact with digital technologies. As a result, the impact of digitization is being observed in such sectors. For instance, the positive impact of…

Photoluminescence (PL) of inhomogeneous porous silicon (PS) of p-type is investigated in this contribution. We measured the PL signal at equidistant positions separated by 0.05 mm in area localized between original crystalline Si (c-Si) wafer surface and electrochemically prepared PS layer. Two PL peaks localized at energies 1.8 and 1.9 eV were identified and their…

Vision-based defect detection techniques are widely used for quality control purposes.
