Machine at Intel's Hillsboro campus can produce chips so advanced, they don't yet exist
At the Gordon Moore campus, Intel engineers do the work to push Moore's Law - the idea that the number of transistors on a single chip will double every two years. A cutting-edge new machine will help them do just that.

*AWESOME* to see Intel building new fabs in the States! I just hope the Oregon plants are well-protected from quakes, given that the US west coast can get a few big jolts from time to time. Not so much a problem in Arizona, New Mexico and Ohio though, which is why I'm thrilled that those states have been chosen for fab plants.
As a kid i experimented with transistors and was so exited once a project worked for me hence watching this boggles the mind.
lithography is mindblowing engineering
It is really amazing technology, but I wish that a lot more funding from the US CHIPS Act would have been allocated to advance next generation technology, like beyond spintronics related technologies (in particular, Non-Volatile-Memory (NVM) MRAM). Spintronics related technologies (like MRAM) are key needed technologies to enable « bi-stable » computing (somewhat like E-ink displays) that would enable plenty new opportunities, and it would be a unique opportunity for the US to position itself to regain technological leadership in next generation semiconductor technologies.
Building stuff with light. Crazy.

LOL yeah ironically Intel's main competition has a lot more earthquake problems, but it's really just a simple math problem of how long an earthquake shuts down the fab and cost of damage vs. the cost of protecting things with dampers and better architecture like any factory or skyscraper. When you're working with atom-size precision everything is an earthquake, and they're already doing pretty crazy stuff to minimize vibrations at the microscopic level. These fabs (and a lot of other factories) have earthquake detection networks with sensors far away that give them a few seconds to shut everything down when an earthquake is about to happen. If you like this kinda thing the Asianometry channel has much more detailed videos.
This is amazing.. Greetings frm Pakistan ❤
