Samsung researchers spot opportunity for industrial-scale semiconductor nanofabrication

SMRTR summary

Samsung researchers have improved atomic layer etching (ALE), a promising but difficult chip-making method, making it practical for mass production. By treating ALE's complex steps as a collective challenge rather than separate problems, they found that careful design and simplification could enable industrial-scale semiconductor nanofabrication.
