Very interesting article.

No wonder Intel are interested in it 😛

I wonder how much of a reduction it makes.

For those with an interest in the technology behind chip making: http://www.intel.com/technology/magazine/silicon/si09041.pdf. It does mention that immersion lithography is one of the techniques being explored.

Very interesting. If Intel pursues this, it could put them lightyears ahead of AMD within a year.

*cough*Conroe*cough*

That's intresting. I hope Intel, IBM, VIA and AMD hop on this bandwagon together. This will be.. Revolutional to manufacturing.

both are probably looking at this, even if intel gets exclusive, somewhere someone is probably researching something along these lines

Now who has a good solution for controlling variability in deep submicron technology? 😛

Scientific American beat them to it with an article by over a month. 😀
The full article has some neat pictures, like of what happens if the tiniest of bubbles is present in the water - an entire section of a circuit gets enlarged relative to everything else.

heh, just saw this thread when did a search on "immersion". I almost got my picture taken for the article, but got a phone call when the photographer was there...
