Printing Chips

Posted by timothy on from the we'll-make-more dept.

batty writes :"Nature has this article about a process that uses a quartz die and a laser to mechanically print features onto chips instead of photo-etching them. The article mentions engraving a silicon wafer with features only 10 nanometres in size, as opposed to 130 nanometres using photlithography, and the process is quicker, simpler, and more environmentally friendly than current processes. Which is nice."

  1. Sad day ... Stephen King dead at 54 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll


    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. First Ann Landers, now this. Two American icons in two days.

    Not sure what micron process you need, I think he would even feel .18mm.
