Microchip manufacturing method goes ‘beyond extreme’
Manufacturers are on the hunt for ways to make microchips, which underpin almost all electronic devices, smaller and more powerful.
Credit: Xinpei Zhou, Johns Hopkins University (CC BY)Manufacturers are always on the hunt for ways to make microchips, which underpin almost all electronic devices, cheaper to produce and more powerful. Previously, Tsapatsis’ laboratory has shown that metals like zinc can absorb the B-EUV light, producing electrons which trigger chemical reactions that imprint patterns on an organic material called imidazole. The CLD method also allowed the researchers to explore different combinations of metals and imidazoles very quickly to create pairings specifically for B-EUV radiation, which they say will likely be used in manufacturing in the next 10 years.
