Bibliometric analysis of journals citations collected from IEEE Transaction on Semiconductor Manufacturing has been carried out to determine the use pattern of literature in the area. The study covers ten volumes (Volume 11-20) containing 40 issues of Semiconductor Manufacturing during the years 1998-2007. The data collected was recorded on to sheets with predesigned columns. All the required data like cost of journals, title of article, number of authors, number of pages, number of references and their forms were tabulated. The study indicates that research collaboration in the field of Applied Physics is becoming more collaborative than the solo research. This can be attributed to the interdisciplinary nature of the subject.
