The semiconductor industry is working on the development of cost-effective technique to etch microscopic features onto microchips. The ultimate solution could be the extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) lithography technique that utilizes very-short-wavelength light to etch features that are four folds finer when compared to existing microchips. However, the industry requires huge investment to overcome the physics, chemistry and engineering challenges.
