DALL·E Rising Energy Burden Of Lithography Lithography has become one of the most energy-intensive stages in the fabrication of wafers. As fabs push to 2 nm and below, every additional patterning layer increases electricity demand and associated CO₂ emissions. Industry projections now indicate that wafer-fab emissions will
DALL-E Students And Computational Lithography I recently wrote about computational lithography. Several students asked, apart from mathematics skills, what more is required to align educational training so one has a better chance of joining semiconductors as a computational lithography engineer. I thought a lot about this, and outlined

It is used during lithography when advanced algorithmic models optimize the patterning and masking process. It is done by deforming the patterns to compensate for the physical and chemical effects naturally occurring
Hi, I am Chetan Arvind Patil (chay-tun – how to pronounce), a semiconductor professional whose job is turning data into products for the semiconductor industry that powers billions of devices around the world. And while I like what I do, I also enjoy biking, working on few ideas, apart from writing, and talking about interesting developments in hardware, software, semiconductor and technology.
