Intel Uses EUV Tool To Speed Chips
News Intel will become the first chipmaker to take delivery of such a machine, which will be the first EUV beta manufacturing tool out of the factory in 2005. The new tool uses Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography (EUV) to print extremely small circuit...

Chip Designers' Dream Team: 10GHz Or Bust
News EUV lithography works in much the same way, except that we have to use a different wavelength of light and we need to use different lenses. Why is EUV needed? If you have circuits that operate at 10GHz, which really are representative of the first...

IBM Saves Chipmaking Kit From An Early Bath
News In the past decade, Intel — along with AMD and to a lesser extent IBM — has promoted extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV). EUV sports light with wavelengths from 1-30nm. Back in 1997, proponents expected EUV equipment to be on the manufacturing...

Moore's Law To Roll On For Another Decade
News Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography uses light with much smaller wavelengths and will start to come onto the market in 2007. Air, Moore noted, can absorb EUV light and cause errors. Moore's Law will continue for at least another 10 years...
