EUV: Lasers, Plasma, and the Sci-Fi Tech that will Make Chips Faster

Engadget recently published a new episode of Upscaled, a series of short videos which focuses on semiconductor technology development. In this episode they discuss EUV lithography and visit an Intel R&D fab in Hillsboro, which is a fab that I’ve spent quite a lot of time in. Christopher Schodt, the producer and host of the series, does a great job of explaining what ASML machines do and the underlying physics of EUV lithography. He even films the first machine that I installed after being hired by ASML, mFE05. It was really neat to see some of my work pop up in a video! Check it out below:

The Extreme Physics Pushing Moore's Law to the Next Level

Seeker recently released an episode of their Focal Point series which highlights ASML and EUV technology development. They film in a variety of ASML locations, including at our campus in San Diego where I am based. I think the video is very well made, they do a great job of presenting the technology with an approachable and attractive narrative. It is absolutely worth watching if you are interested in semiconductor or lithography technology. Check it out below!
