US ABSTRACTS: I.B.M. TO INTRODUCE ADVANCE IN CHIP MANUFACTURING 93% match; The New York Times - US Abstracts ; 28-Feb-2000 12:00:00 am ; 110 words I.B.M. is developing a new chip-making system with Nikon Corporation which uses electron beams, rather than light waves, to cut circuits onto microchips. The news of the new technology will be announced by I.B.M. researcher Hans C. Pfeiffer, who works at the company's East Fishkill, N.Y., semi-conductor research center, in a report to the International Society for Optical Engineering's industrial conference to be held this week in Santa Clara, Calif.. There is a race between I.B.M and Nikon and rival Lucent Technology to develop the technology. Lucent and semiconductor equipment manufacturers ASM Lithography N.V. and Applied Materials are building a similar system, known as Scalpel. There is concern within the industry that current light-based systems are reaching the limits of their performance. Abstracted from: The New York Times
