Breaking wavelength limits enables chips with finer features
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – A new way to break through wavelength-related limits to feature size in state-of-the-art silicon chips could enable further leaps in computational power. The microchip revolution has seen a steady shrinking of features on silicon chips, packing in more transistors and wires to boost their speed and data capacity. But in recent years, the technologies behind these chips have begun to bump up against fundamental limits, such as the wavelengths of light used for critical steps in their...
Blocked holes boost light on the nanoscale
PRINCETON, N.J. – Capping a hole should block light transmission through that hole, right? Not on the nanoscale. In fact, placing a metal cap over a small hole in a metal film does not stop light from passing through the hole, but rather enhances its transmission....
Nanopatterning Agreement Signed
ST. FLORIAN, Austria, Jan. 23, 2012 — EV Group (EVG) has signed a joint development and licensing agreement with Eulitha AG to establish a low-cost-of-ownership nanopatterning solution for high-brightness LED manufacturing. EVG will integrate Eulitha’s Phable mask-based UV...
STED Effect Enables Chips with Finer Features
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec. 22, 2011 — A new way to break through wavelength-related limits to feature size in state-of-the-art silicon chips could enable further leaps in computational power. The microchip revolution has seen a steady shrinking of features on silicon chips,...
Gigaphoton Reaches Milestone
OYAMA, Japan, Dec. 15, 2011 — Lithography light source manufacturer Gigaphoton Inc. has shipped its 1000th excimer laser for semiconductor photolithography. Komatsu, Gigaphoton’s predecessor, marketed Japan’s first excimer laser in 1985, followed by the world’s...
Blocked Holes Enhance Light Transmission
PRINCETON, N.J., Nov. 28, 2011 — Placing a metal cap over a small hole in a metal film does not stop light from passing through the hole, but rather enhances its transmission — quite contrary to the conventional thought that blocking a hole would allow less light to pass...
New EUV Microscope to Lead to Next-Gen Semiconductors
BERKELEY, Calif., Nov. 2, 2011 — Delving into the extreme ultraviolet wavelengths further than ever, a novel microscope is set to provide leaps forward in photolithography technology. The device, dubbed SHARP (for “Semiconductor High-NA Actinic Reticle Review Project”),...
Ophir-Spiricon Opens New Cleanroom
LOGAN, Utah, June 28, 2011 — Ophir-Spiricon, a member of the precision laser measurement equipment provider Ophir Photonics Group, has opened a cleanroom at its new facility in Logan. The 840-sq-ft cleanroom is used for manufacturing the solid-state, pyroelectric detector...
The Ones to Watch: Nanolasers Are Breaking New Ground – and Fast
Jun 1, 2011 — Rapid advances in nanolaser research are making this area of photonics a very hot topic. Whether tackling high optical losses in nanocavities or achieving room-temperature operation, scientific groups worldwide are helping to bring the nanolaser...
The RAPID way to next-gen computer chips
COLLEGE PARK, Md. – At the University of Maryland, scientists have achieved a breakthrough in using visible light to make tiny integrated circuits. Although the technology may not become commercially available for more than a decade, it may eventually make it possible...
Breakthrough Reported in Visible Light-based ICs
COLLEGE PARK, Md., Feb. 10 , 2011 — University of Maryland researchers have made a breakthrough in the use of visible light for making tiny integrated circuits. Though their advance is probably at least a decade from commercial use, they say it could one day make it possible for...
Knovel Offers Optics, Photonics
NEW YORK, Dec. 15, 2010 — Knovel announced yesterday the launch of a new subject area – optics and photonics – bringing the total number of subject areas it offers to 25. The company is a provider of web-based applications that integrate technical information...
Why Optics Manufacturing in Japan Is Still Relevant
Sep 1, 2010 — Small and medium-size enterprises around the world continue to focus on cost-cutting activities, including moving labor-intensive operations to lower-cost regions such as China, Thailand, Vietnam, India, Russia or Brazil. Even Japanese companies...
Laser Technology
Jul 1, 2010 — If one reviews what happened in the first 50 years of the laser’s history, it becomes quite a challenge to predict what will happen in the next 50. Lasers went from being called “a solution in search of a problem” to becoming an...
New US Subsidiary
Feb 28, 2010 — Gera, Germany-based Präzisionsoptik Gera GmbH has formed a US subsidiary, Precision Optics Gera Corp., with sales offices in Florida and Colorado. The custom and standard microstru...

PW10: Variety at Edmund Optics
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 29, 2010 – Flexibility was a recurring theme among exhibitors at SPIE Photonics West this year, and Edmund Optics (EO) was no exception: The Barrington, N.J.-based company had a large number of new and recent products on display, including hands-on...
Litho Process Awarded $900K
Oct 26, 2009 — Cornell scientists who have invented a way of processing organic devices with a patent-pending process called orthogonal lithography have received a $900,000 grant from the National Science Foundation’s Materials World Network program. The funds,...
Taking Semiconductor Manufacturing to the Extreme
Oct 1, 2009 — As consumer and enterprise demand for faster computers increases, so will the demand for faster computer chips. The speed of computer chips is directly related to the number of transistors that can fit on a chip. Transistors work like switches...
Photolithography Improved Without UV Light
Apr 30, 2009 — As computer chips become smaller and more powerful, it is important that their features remain precise. The fact that smaller light wavelengths create smaller features has demanded that developers and manufacturers use expensive and difficult to...
Wireless Grippers Grab Cells
BALTIMORE, Jan. 13, 2009 – Johns Hopkins researchers have invented dust-particle-size devices that can be used to grab and remove living cells from hard-to-reach places without the need for electrical wires, tube or batteries. Instead, these microgrippers are actuated by...
