ASML, mtsogoleri wapadziko lonse lapansi mu machitidwe a photolithography a EUV ndi DUV mumakampani opanga ma semiconductor, yapeza chitukuko chachikulu muukadaulo wa lithography wa EUV ndipo ikukonzekera kuwonjezera kupanga ma chip ndi 50% pofika chaka cha 2030. Mainjiniya a kampaniyo awonjezera mphamvu yowunikira mpaka ma watts 1000, zomwe zathandiza kukonza ma wafers a silicon okwana 330 pa ola limodzi ndikuchepetsa kwambiri mtengo wopanga ma processor apamwamba.
Malinga ndi lipotilo REUTERSOfufuza apanga njira yowonjezera mphamvu ya kuwala mu makina owunikira kwambiri a ultraviolet (EUV). Kupita patsogolo kwaukadaulo kumeneku kudzawonjezera kupanga kwa zida ndi 50% pofika kumapeto kwa zaka khumi ndikulimbitsa udindo wa kampaniyo pakati pa mpikisano womwe ukukula kuchokera kwa opanga aku America ndi aku China. Katswiri wamkulu waukadaulo wa ASML, Michael Purvis, adatsimikiza kuti makina a 1000-watt amagwira ntchito bwino pansi pa mikhalidwe yeniyeni yopanga ndipo adazindikira kuti palibe zopinga zazikulu pakuwonjezera mphamvu zamagetsi kufika pa 2000 watts.
Phindu lalikulu lowonjezera mphamvu yochokera ku ma watts 600 mpaka 1000 omwe alipo ndi kuthekera kopanga zinthu zambiri pa unit ya nthawi. Popeza ma chips amasindikizidwa pogwiritsa ntchito photolithography, mphamvu yayikulu ya radiation imachepetsa nthawi yomwe mankhwala amaonekera pa silicon wafer. Teun van Gogh, Wachiwiri kwa Purezidenti wa EUV Machines, akuneneratu kuti kusinthaku kudzathandiza zidazo kukonza ma wafers pafupifupi 330 pa ola limodzi pofika chaka cha 2030, kuchokera pa 220 omwe alipo pano. Kuwonjezeka kwa scanner kudzachepetsa mtengo wa chipangizo chilichonse kwa makasitomala ndikuthandizira kudalirika kwachuma kwa ukadaulo wa EUV.
Kuti akwaniritse dongosololi, ASML yakonza njira yomwe kale imaonedwa kuti ndi imodzi mwazovuta kwambiri paukadaulo. Dongosololi limagwiritsa ntchito laser yamphamvu kwambiri yomwe imapanga kuwala kwa 13,5-nanometer poyatsa mtsinje wa chitsulo chosungunuka, ndikusintha zinthuzo kukhala plasma. Chinthu chachikulu chomwe chimapangitsa kuti madontho achuluke kawiri kufika pa 100,000 pa sekondi imodzi ndikugwiritsa ntchito kapangidwe ka pulse ka laser iwiri kuti apange madontho, kusiyanitsa dongosololi ndi mitundu yamakono. Jorge J. Rocca, pulofesa ku Colorado State University, adapereka ndemanga pa kukula kwa ntchitoyi, ponena kuti kukwaniritsa mphamvu ya kilowatt ndi kupambana kwakukulu komwe kumafuna kumvetsetsa kwakukulu kwa ukadaulo wambiri.
Reuters ikunena kuti ndi chotchinga chachikulu ichi chomwe chimathandiza kampani ya ku Dutch kuti isatalikirane ndi makampani atsopano, monga makampani oyambira aku America a Substrate ndi xLight, omwe akupanga njira zawo zothetsera mavuto ndi thandizo la ndalama kuchokera ku boma la US.
