Want even tinier chips? Use a particle accelerator

SSemiconductor chips It is among Smaller and most detailed creatures Humans can manufacture. Reducing the scale and increasing complexity is a battle against the boundaries of physics, visual stone printing-combustion of the nanoscopic patterns on silicon with a short wavelength light-the most extreme boundary. AsmlAnd it is a Dutch company that builds these stone printing tools, which takes almost a scientific fantasy approach by detonating the tin drops molten with the laser in a vacuum to produce severe UV rays (EuvLight with a wavelength only 13.5nm. Now, some researchers hope to generate more powerful Euv Packages with the acceleration of particles that push the electrons to nearly the speed of light.
