Making wafers faster by making features smaller

Tuesday, December 14, 2010 - 11:30 in Physics & Chemistry

Manufacturing semiconductors for electronics involves etching small features onto wafers using lasers, a process that is limited by the wavelength of the light itself. The development of a new, intense 13.5-nm light source will resolve this issue by reducing the feature size by an order of magnitude or so, according to new research.
