What is computational lithography?

Computational lithography is a process that could speed up the chip design time. There are many things that need to be considered when designing or manufacturing a semiconductor. In the early stages the chip’s design will have to be developed – a process that could take considerable time. As chips get smaller and more powerful, […]

Australia’s semiconductor industry

Australia is not a country known for its chip production, but it felt the shortages as much as the rest of us. Despite the shortages being less severe for the country, however it still mostly relies on imported semiconductors. The current semiconductor industry is quite small, consisting of local companies and branches of some larger […]

Process nodes and transistor density

There are regular news articles published claiming that the smallest ever process node has been produced. We hear all the time about how small chips are becoming. But how can we measure this progress and does size really matter? Moore’s Law The concept of Moore’s Law, loosely, is that the number of transistors in a […]
