0.768nm!The world's highest resolution light carvings are available, but it is not ASML manufacturing

The process process determines the performance level of the chip to a large part, just like the top -flow Apple A series chip in the SOC chip in a smartphone. It is precisely because of the latest advanced process technology of TSMC, which guarantees the performance level It has been maintained in the industry.

The strongest light carving machine?

The improvement of the process technology depends mainly on the EUV lithography machine. At present, only ASML can be produced in the world that can produce an EUV light engraving machine. Its latest 0.55NA EUV lithography machine has become a lean for chip head manufacturing companies (TSMC, Samsung, and Intel) to break through the nano limit.

But even ASML0.55 NA EUV light engraving machine, it is difficult to break through the 1nm limit and raise the process process below 1nm. I thought it would be a "dead knot", but what I did not expect was that some institutions had broken through this limit and accurately the process technology to the Emi level, which was really amazing.

What's more interesting is that this breakthrough institution is not ASML, but an American company named Zyvex Labs. Zyvex Labs specializes in development and commercialized atomic precision manufacturing (APM) technology. Recently, they have launched a global highest resolution of the nano -resolution light -engraving system "Zyvexlitho1".

This amazing system can make chips with a width of only 0.768nm cable. Compared to the EUV lithography machine that is still more than 1Nm, it is no longer at the level. However, ASML has come to the industry, and few people can defeat him in the same technology field. Of course, Zyvex Labs does not work. It uses another technology -electronic beam light engraving (EBL) technology.

Whether it will change the chip manufacturing pattern

The (EBL) technology used by Zyvexlitho1 uses non -traditional hydrogen dehumidification photochemical (HDL) technology, from SI (100) 2 × 1 di -gathered (Dimer Row) reconstruction surface removal of hydrogen (H) atoms. Realize higher resolution and accuracy than traditional EBL technology.

It sounds like some professional terms. In fact, I do n’t know that the principle is not harmful. As long as we understand the Zyvexlitho1 system developed by Zyvex Labs, we have achieved what EUV lithography machine cannot do.

The problem is. Since Zyvexlitho1 is so good, will it next to the EUV lithography machine to reduce the dimension and even change the pattern of the chip market? If this is true, wouldn't it be easy to become a "knife" to our "knife" as an American company?

The good news is that you don't have to worry about this at present, because in addition to the processing process in the current market, the optical machine also requires an extremely important attribute -mass production. The defects of EBL electronic beam light engraving machines are exactly here. It is not suitable for mass production and is only suitable for a small amount of high -precision chips.

Of course, this does not mean that you can have a high pillow. Because technology has been moving forward, after a few periods of time, this defect will be overcome? Still that, our success cannot be built on the basis of other people's mistakes or stopping.

Cutting -edge technology has become an important competition point

The breakthrough of Zyvex Labs also brings us another layer of warning, that is, in some cutting -edge technology fields, competition is already very fierce, and we must fight in seconds.

Taking this technology that breaks the process accuracy "Skyrim" as an example, the chip produced by it can be used in the field of quantum computing to bring strong computing power for quantum computers.

Quantum technology is one of the future directions. my country has gone at the forefront of the world, especially quantum communication, and there are few opponents. But now there may be new technological breakthroughs every day, and then affect the pattern of quantum competition.

In the final analysis, cutting -edge technology like quantum technology and artificial intelligence is more than who runs the right direction and who runs faster. We don't know what will happen in the future. The only thing that can be determined is that everyone is running forward desperately, and no one will wait in place.
