  6. Wow, high aspect ratio test structures, that's a mouthful! Finland's got game in the nanotech world, who knew? Accurate 3D measurements are apparently the bee's knees for semiconductors, go figure. Reading this makes me remember when I was designing a tiny cabinet, and the blueprints were a total mess. Getting the angles and proportions right felt like a level on geometry dash from hell.
