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."
