Study Notes

Defining Life

  • Biological matter is distinguished from non-biological matter by the presence of biological processes
  • Viruses blur the definition of life because they possess some, but not all, characteristics of living systems

Philosophical Definition of Living Systems

  • The philosophical definition of living systems proposes that a system is living if it can maintain homeostasis, respond to stimuli, grow and develop, reproduce, and evolve over time

Life on Earth

  • Life exists on Earth in diverse forms and environments, from the freezing cold to the boiling hot

Origin of Life

  • According to the text, the origin of life on Earth dates back to a distant, unspecified time in the past

Semiconductor Fabrication

Technology Nodes

  • The technology node that follows the 14 nm node in semiconductor fabrication is not specified
  • The 10 nm process technology is the basis for all production 10 nm processes
  • Samsung started producing 10 nm-class chips for multi-level cell (MLC) flash memory chips, although the exact date is not specified
  • Samsung began commercial production of 10 nm chips in 2016
  • In the context of process technologies, a 'node' signifies a specific generation of semiconductor manufacturing technology
