And the purpose of this is to avoid quantum mechanical effects, correct? The "abstractions" being referred to are essentially being able to treat these things as if they are "wires" in the classical sense?
- slededit 8y agoThe purpose is to deal with the fact individual features are smaller than the wavelength of light used for the photo resist process. I'm not up to speed on the details of why we can't just use X-Rays but apparently its a difficult problem.
- paulmd 8y agoNot an expert here but it's not trivial to generate the amount of energy needed at those frequencies, and you also need to generate enough photons (not just high-enough energy photons) that shot noise doesn't become a problem too.
