European Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton has issued a double challenge to European semiconductor manufacturers. The first is to quadruple the volume of production in the territory of 27 in ten years. Second, to develop towards the most advanced technologies. In chips, this is measured in nanometers (nano). That is, 1 billionth of a meter, returning a grain of sand or pollen to giant status. Nano, a journey into the infinitesimal, a constant challenge to the laws of physics, a world where the 0s and 1s that form the basis of all digital languages aren’t really 0s and 1s anymore. bring greater shocks than the transition from a tube transistor to a microprocessor.
Since its inception, electronics has been driven by one idea: miniaturization. Manufacturing – engraving – smaller and smaller components has many advantages. As the chip size shrinks…
