We had already talked about a new system for manufacturing semiconductors by nanoimprintinga system that has designed Canon and what had available for early this year. Well the more advanced version of your machine with this system it has been sent by Canon these days to the Texas Institute for Electronicsa consortium from this state of the USA that is dedicated to the semiconductor manufacturing on North American soil. A new system that claims to be more economical and efficient than the usual one by lithography.
This nanoprint designed by Canon works pressing a mask printed with the circuitry pattern onto the resin of a waferas if it were a seal. This allows reproduce more accurately patterns with finer and thinner designs, allowing the creation of patterns with a line width of only 14 nanometers. This would be equivalent to a node 5 nanometersnecessary to reproduce this type of very small semiconductors.
A machine that will be intended for production of research prototypessince this consortium works together with the university of texasin Austin, and of which they are also part local, state governments and businesses of semiconductors in the area.

I am a Computer Engineer and my specialty is automation and robotics. My passion for hardware began at the age of 14 when I broke down my first computer: a 386 DX 40 with 4MB of RAM and 210MB of hard drive. I continue to give free rein to my passion in the technical articles I write for Geeknetic. I dedicate most of my free time to video games, contemporary and retro, on the more than 20 consoles I have, in addition to the PC.
