PROFESSOR: So as people are gathering, you might begin to notice some common themes across different industries. We have unique identifiers called-- what did we call it in the aircraft industry? So it's not just RFID. DIMITRI KYRITSIS: Smart labels. PROFESSOR: Oh, smart labels. Right. We've heard how identification schemes are incorporated in airplanes. And now, we're going to listen to our colleagues from the automotive industry and how RFID is enabling changes in that industry. And we're fortunate to have a member of the conference committee, Dimitri Kyritsis, who's the associate director of the Lab of Informatics for Design at the University of-- DIMITRI KYRITSIS: Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne. PROFESSOR: OK. [LAUGHTER] It didn't fit. Thank you. DIMITRI KYRITSIS: Thank you. Or if you prefer it in French, it's Ecole Polytechnique Federal de Lausanne. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. So we will continue somehow same co...

JUDY HOYT: Just remind people where we are on the course schedule, we just finished up chapter 9 on deposition and epitaxy, and we're going to plow ahead, moving along to chapter 10, which we'll cover in the next couple of lectures. Chapter 10 is on etching, which is a very important capability for CMOS processing. And today is the 18th, and I guess homework number 5 is due today. So I brought a new folder here up front, this yellow folder, we'll use to hold your homework number 5. I'm going to have-- homework number 4's been graded, but I need to go through it. So I'll have that back to you next week. So let's take a look at today's handout, which is handout number 33, and we're starting chapter 10 on etching. We've talked a lot about, now, a lot of different processes. We spent the last three lectures talking about depositing thin films. After they're deposited, typically they have to be etched to make some kind of a circuit p...
