Innovative Solutions in Chip Manufacturing
Manufacturing chips with increasingly denser transistors poses a challenge as current methods only achieve a resolution of 11 nanometers while transistors are now being made on a 5 nanometer process. Despite the limitation where light wavelength is 193 nanometers, creative techniques like using lenses and water are being explored. The collaboration between companies, such as TSMC, is crucial for the successful delivery and operation of these advanced machines costing up to 300 million dollars, along with the support of specialized crews for assembly and operation.
