IBM Squeezes More into Microchips

BBC News, 21 Feb 2006 Researchers at IBM have discovered a way of getting more out of the current method used to make computer chips. They say they have been able to etch circuits on silicon wafers that are a third of the width of those produced using existing technology. The technique could lead to smaller and higher capacity chips, and delay a switch to costlier and unproven chip-making methods. Read more
