You don't know if Intel's tech is ready. It's classified for the machine manufacturers to disclose if Intel's their customer. I tried really hard to ask this Intel guy at IEDM what they're using for 10nm research and he wouldn't say anything.
E-beam lithography has been the work horse for research in fabrication for decades now. You can't get better resolution than E-beam lithography. The wavelength of an electron at 5kV acceleration is something like 0.017 nm. There are some crazy people who are trying to make E-beam systems for production processes (multiple beams, etc.), but I don't think E-beam will ever see use outside of research.
I am working on a special type of transistor that is similar to this: http://arxiv.org/pdf/cond-mat/0401162.pdf http://arxiv.org/pdf/cond-mat/0401162.pdf

- Keyframe 12y agoI can't know about intel's tech, of course, but I can read what they are saying: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/05/29/euv_lithography_still_out_there/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/05/29/euv_lithography_stil... and where they are spending: http://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/semiconductors/devices/intel-invests-in-euv http://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/semiconductors/devices/in... I can't find a link now, but somewhere I've read from an intel guy they were expecting production runs in 2017. It might be due to my limited scope of knowledge, but how would one scale E-beam to a production capacity anyways? Thanks for the link. I'll have to cross-read it with a lot of info though since it's 'a bit' over my head. I'm already lost at 1D and how it relates to, well, anything. I still can't warp my head around 1D geometry.
