Applied Explains: Nanoscale Transistor Engineering

Recently, I posted a video featuring Applied’s David Thompson explaining how Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) works, and how it can be used to lay down critical transistor film layers just a few atoms thick.

However, ALD is just one of several techniques that chipmakers will use to overcome the challenges of engineering the nanoscale transistors at the heart of cutting edge semiconductor devices.

In the video above, Steven Hung, Ph.D. who specializes in integrating ALD into the transistor manufacturing process, dives deep into the chip to show what tomorrow’s transistors look like, how they work, and how Applied can help the industry meet the challenges of fabricating these ultra-tiny structures to make faster, more power-efficient microchips.
