Johns Hopkins breakthrough could make microchips smaller than ever
Johns Hopkins scientists, working with global partners, have unveiled a new way to build microchips so small they’re invisible to the eye. By developing special metal-organic materials that interact with powerful beams of light, they’ve cracked a major hurdle in creating faster, smaller, and more affordable chips. This new process, chemical liquid deposition, could reshape electronics manufacturing and push the limits of technology for years to come.
By developing special metal-organic materials that interact with powerful beams of light, they’ve cracked a major hurdle in creating faster, smaller, and more affordable chips. Johns Hopkins researchers have discovered new materials and a new process that could advance the ever-escalating quest to make smaller, faster and affordable microchips used across modern electronics -- in everything from cellphones to cars, appliances to airplanes. Metals like zinc absorb the B-EUV light and generate electrons that cause chemical transformations needed to imprint circuit patterns on an organic material called imidazole.
