A New Way to Beat the Limits on Shrinking Transistors?

by Adrian Cho Science, 5 May 2006 A new lithography scheme could sidestep a fundamental limit of classical optics and open the way to drawing ultraprecise patterns with simple lasers, a team of electrical engineers and physicists predicts. If it works, the scheme would allow chipmakers to continue to shrink the transistors on microchips using standard technologies. Read more
