Belgium’s imec reports breakthroughs with new ASML chip printing machine
AMSTERDAM: Belgium’s imec, one of the world’s top semiconductor R&D firms, on Wednesday reported several computer chip-making breakthroughs at a joint laboratory it operates with ASML, using the Dutch company’s newest 350 million euro ($382 million) chip printing machine.
imec said it had successfully printed circuitry as small or smaller than the best currently in commercial production, for both logic and memory chips, in a single pass under ASML’s new “High NA” tool.
