Announced the successful creation of a lithography system for 0.7nm wafers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_technology_behind\"><\/span>The technology behind<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Zyvex&#8217;s official website, the newly launched ZyvexLitho1 lithography system is a device based on Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM: Scanning Tunneling Microscopy). A 768-mm, or 0.7-nanometer chip, is equivalent to the width of 2 silicon atoms, making it the most precise lithography system in the world. While this wafer is mainly used in quantum computers, the quantum physics technology behind it is mainly used to achieve atomic precision patterning and sub-nanometer (768 picometers\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500Si (100) 2\u00d71 dimer row width) resolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lithography system that achieves this 0.7 nm resolution is a process called hydrogen depassivation lithography, a type of electron beam lithography (EBL) that achieves atomic resolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Electron beam lithography (often abbreviated EBL) is the practice of scanning a focused electron beam to draw custom shapes on a surface covered with an electron-sensitive film called photoresist (exposure). The electron beam alters the solubility of the photoresist, and by dipping the resist in a solvent (developing), exposed or unexposed areas can be selectively removed. Like lithography, the purpose is to create very small structures in resist, which are then transferred to the substrate material, usually by etching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main advantage of electron beam lithography is that it can draw custom patterns with sub-nanometer resolution (direct writing). The high resolution and low throughput of this form of maskless lithography limit its use in photomask fabrication, low-volume production of semiconductor devices, and research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mainly_used_in_quantum_computers\"><\/span>Mainly used in quantum computers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The machine&#8217;s uses include making extremely precise structures for quantum dot-based qubits to achieve the highest possible qubit quality. At present, the chips produced by the ZyvexLitho1 system are mainly used in quantum computers, which can create highly precise solid-state quantum components, as well as nano-components and materials. Precision is very important for quantum computers. This major breakthrough has made the function of &#8220;quantum computer&#8221; greatly breakthrough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong>: Regarding quantum computers, please refer to my previous blog article &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.granitefirm.com\/blog\/us\/2021\/06\/16\/quantum-computing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Quantum computing current progress and related stocks<\/a>&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Areas_of_benefit\"><\/span>Areas of benefit<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>And several advanced industries that rely on quantum computers or ultra-high-speed computer computing can benefit from a substantial breakthrough in the capabilities of &#8220;quantum computers&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Areas of these advanced industries include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Data encryption is more secure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quantum communication is more secure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Significant reduction in time required for drug discovery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provide and more accurate weather forecast<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disadvantages_of_Zyvex_Technology\"><\/span>Disadvantages of Zyvex Technology<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Zyvex said it can already accept other customer orders, and the machine will ship in about six months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the disadvantage of this technology is that the output is very low, and it cannot meet the needs of large-scale manufacturing of chips. It is only suitable for small-scale production and cannot meet the large-scale demand for chips in the market. It seems that it does not pose a threat to TSMC.
