EUV’s Future Looks Even Brighter
EUV lithography relies on high-energy laser sources to generate extreme ultraviolet light at a wavelength of 13.5 nm. These light sources are notoriously inefficient, with much of the energy lost ...
Return of the gigahertz wars: New Chinese transistor uses bismuth instead of silicon to potentially sock it to Intel and TSMC with 40% more speed
By way of example, TSMC's N3E node as used in the latest Apple chips has gate pitch of at minimum 45 nm and a metal pitch of ...
