x-ray lithography

But some experts say X-ray lithography will still be needed.

A consensus about what form a special effort in X-ray lithography should take has not yet emerged.

But they said it would not include the development of X-Ray lithography technologies.

X-ray lithography is a dividend of that original investment.

X-ray lithography, is a process used in electronic industry to selectively remove parts of a thin film.

But manufacturing with X-ray lithography appears to limit contamination.

The grant would promote development of a process called X-ray lithography that could enable computer chips to be made smaller.

The need for a reliable, cheap, small synchrotron is far from the only obstacle along the road to X-ray lithography.

We face the difficult task of making such budget reductions while finding the resources to continue such programs as X-ray lithography.

But Japan's experience with X-ray lithography illustrates that cash is only part of the equation.

So far, Japanese companies investing in X-ray lithography have pursued two strategies simultaneously.

The group made its parts with an etching process known as X-ray lithography, which is being investigated for the production of advanced computer chips.

Industry leaders are alarmed in part because of the scale of the Japanese X-ray lithography effort.

X-ray lithography is not the only aspirant for the task of etching finer lines.

The developing technology, called X-ray lithography, can make "denser" chips that scientists think will ultimately be able to store a thousand times more data.

The goal in X-ray lithography is to reduce features to possibly as small as one-tenth of a micron.

These temperature changes create minute distortions that are intolerable for the tiny circuitry created through X-ray lithography.

I.B.M. has been the most active in pursuing X-ray lithography.

Indeed, the Japanese have already set up a joint industry-Government program that will spend nearly $1 billion on X-ray lithography.

Scientists in the United States pioneered many of the technologies being exploited today around the world to perfect X-ray lithography.

The situation is even more bleak for some of the newest technologies, like X-ray lithography, optical storage devices and flat panel displays, the report said.

A technological breakthrough that I have been promoting among my Congressional colleagues is X-ray lithography.

And I.B.M. officials said the cost of developing X-ray lithography was already straining its resources.

The typical personal computer now uses chips with a storage capacity one-thousandth that of those that may eventually be made through X-ray lithography.

Also, there is concern that the Japanese companies are outspending the United States on X-ray lithography.
