Editorial Kudos to Our Reviewers

Abstract

The people that we depend on to review the manuscripts published in the <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">Transactions on Semiconductor Manufacturing</i> ensure that work of the highest quality ends up in each finished paper. Often this requires more than one detailed reading of a manuscript that is separated by several weeks from the previous one. The reviewers are all recognized experts in their fields. Despite the demands to fulfill the duties of their employers they set aside time to support the broad dissemination of the latest results on factory and manufacturing integration, process control, yield enhancement and modeling, metrology, photolithography, factory modeling and control, and equipment technology—all of the areas that go into a modern semiconductor manufacturing facility. I personally thank all of the contributions that our reviewers have made in 2016. We would not have a journal that is a leading source of information on semiconductor manufacturing without this selfless effort.
