~ < p >Professor Ahmed A. Busnina from the Northeast University (USA) patented a new process and printer, which not only make the production of modern electronics and chips more efficient and cheaper, but also allow them to produce them on a nationwide. About this & nbsp; writes & nbsp; tech xplore.

< P > As the Professor explains, during & nbsp; nbsp; production of microelectronics & nbsp; material is usually applied to the film, and then “dig” excess. Each layer represents one part of the scheme, and after the extension of many layers is created a microprocessor or memory chip.

< p >According to the scientist, this method is expensive, slow, energy and resource-intensive. Thus, the construction of modern electronics and chips costs about $ 20-40 billion, and their operation & mdash; in $ 1 billion a year. The production of chip takes six months to a year, and any refinement requires a similar period. Moreover, a typical plant consumes electricity as 50,000 houses.

< p > “I thought it should be an easier way to do it, a cheaper way to do it”, & mdash; Professor Busnina noted.

< P > As an alternative, the scientist has developed an additive process of production of silicon microprocessors and memory chips on the principle of “bottom up”, which reduces the cost of electronics production to approximately 1% of the current method.

< P > Professor Busnina argues that the materials can be applied very quickly, using very small particles, which allows you to create very small objects for a small fraction of time required for traditional nanomas or 3D printing. This allows you to create structures up to 25 nanometers in one minute.

< P > The scientist believes that his new method and tool can “democratize” the process of production of chips. In addition, technology can speed up the rate of innovation and make all the electronics very accessible.

< p > “You will be able to go to the 3D printing workshop, give them your design of a chip, and they will make it for you the same day or next. Imagine that every chip developer will be able to get their own sample for the same week and then do the scale and extension of the scale,”; noted the scientist.
