According to us the official press release of IBM, developers using microscopic 3D-printer painted on a substrate cover National Geographic Kids. Size was 100,000 times thinner than an ordinary pencil . In fact, to create a copy of a magazine cover with sides 11 x 14 mm took 10 minutes 40 seconds.
The process of cutting out the cover, which is IBM's considered as one of the possible options for creating transistors with gates order nanometers, as follows. The semiconductor substrate based on a polymeric material developed by chemists IBM, process control tip, warmed up to 1000 degrees Celsius. Pressure and temperature of the substrate removes unnecessary parts. Pitch accuracy - one nanometer. Also before the end of the year in the company expects to consider the technology for processing tool like graphene.
Parallel at IBM are developing other methods of creating microreliefs. For example, you can create evaporation on a plate with a vertical height of the relief elements only one nanometer.
License to develop equipment IBM company donated organized in Switzerland startup SwissLitho. A few weeks ago, the company delivered the first SwissLitho equipment - installation NanoFrazor - McGill University in Canada. Related Products :
