Ask HN: Did we get past the "point one" micron barrier in chip fabrication? How?
So I accidentally bought a book about future technology written in 1995 :-( It keeps mentioning the upcoming "point one" micron barrier in chip fabrication. Anyone know how or if that was overcome?
- tocomment 17y agoWell it looks like Intel is coming out with 32nm chips soon which is .032 microns. I guess we beat that barrier by a lot? I wonder how. Mr. Kaku seemed to think it would be very difficult in 1997 (http://www.amazon.com/Visions-Michio-Kaku/dp/0385484984 http://www.amazon.com/Visions-Michio-Kaku/dp/0385484984)
