• IBM drives chipmaking process beyond current limitations
  Tuesday 21 February 2006 – 11:33
  IBM researchers claim to have found a way to use deep-ultraviolet (DUV) lithography techniques for the production of 32 nm chips and smaller. The limits of DUV have been pushed out several times and saved chip builders from a costly switch to an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) process so far. IBM's discovery could delay the transition for at least one more product generation.
