IBM Creates World’s First Functional Chip With 2nm Lithography

With the advent of manufacturing technology Extreme Ultra Violet (EUV), the complexity of the multi-model techniques developed in the previous technology nodes can now be applied with the finest resolution provided by EUV. This, combined with other more technical improvements, can lead to a decrease in the size of transistors, allowing us to continue with ...

Sub 1nm processor lithography, molecular material and the future

To put these dimensions in perspective, you must first know what nanometers are: a nanometer is 0.0000000000001 meter, or 10−9 mr. To put this in perspective, a human hair is about 0.08 millimeters thick, a red blood cell is 5 microns, or a (non-computer) virus is around 100 nanometers. Already at this scale, we have ...
