Purdue technology for downscaling transistors could advance semiconductor design

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – An innovation by Purdue University researchers could help the semiconductor industry design transistors that are smaller, use less power and switch from on to off at smaller applied voltages. As a result, the innovation could lead to better and more powerful central processing unit generations, which can compute more operations with […] The post Purdue technology for downscaling transistors could advance semiconductor design appeared first on Civil + Structural Engineer magazine.

In the mid 1990s two Japanese companies dominated the lithography space: Nikon & Canon. Together, they held 3/4 share of the market. Then Dutch company ASML rose to overtake these two, relegating them to bit players in the industry. Today the two are no longer trying to compete at the cutting edge while ASML is now Europe's most valuable technology company This video talks about how ASML took the market share and technological leadership crown & why the Japanese incumbents failed to keep it
