Precision Manufacturing: Journeying from Micro-Nano to Atomic Scales
2025-01-14

The recent Xiangshan Science Conference spotlighted atomic manufacturing, a pivotal advancement in the realm of precision engineering. According to Xu Ningsheng, an esteemed academician at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the global race for precision manufacturing has now ventured into the atomic scale. The future trajectory of silicon-based chip technology hinges critically on the widespread adoption of atomic manufacturing techniques. Conventionally, 1 nanometer is perceived as the physical threshold for silicon-based chip manufacturing, but the direct manipulation of atoms to fabricate chips holds the potential to revolutionize existing lithographic methodologies.
