A 2D material called chromium oxychloride dramatically outperforms traditional hard masks in chip fabrication, resisting plasma etching far better at nanoscale thicknesses.

Researchers at Cornell University have developed a powerful imaging technique that reveals atomic scale defects inside computer chips for the first time. Using an advanced electron microscopy method, ...

Making computer chips smaller is not just about better design. It also depends on a critical step in manufacturing called patterning, where nanoscale ...

UNSW Sydney nano-tech startup Diraq has shown its quantum chips aren’t just lab-perfect prototypes – they also hold up in real-world production, maintaining the 99% accuracy needed to make quantum ...

Current copper wiring in computer chips struggles to carry electricity efficiently as circuits shrink to the nanoscale, leading to a process that generates heat and limits performance. These materials ...

South Korea accounts for only 19% of the world's semiconductor production while the U.S. produces only 12% of the global share, a drop in the ocean.

Intel has opened its new Fab 52 semiconductor factory in Chandler. The facility will produce the company's most advanced chips for AI, gaming, and robotics, created with its "18A" manufacturing ...

For a while, the intense competition in the chip manufacturing world looked like a two-horse race. TSMC has been consistently ahead, with Samsung playing catch-up. While the South Korean giant has ...
