Manufacturers face new production challenges as they attempt to meet rising need.

Konrad Knapp

Anyone who has ever owned a PC is familiar with the problem of technological obsolescence. Faster models hit the market almost before people have had the opportunity to turn on their new computers. What many people don’t know is that rapid progress in the fabrication of semiconductor circuit components can largely be attributed to advances in optical microlithography, one of the key technologies for creating transistors and memory modules on silicon wafers. CaF2 crystal is a key material for microlithography in the production of high-end microchips. Improved microchip...Read full article
