Bridging the gap between design and manufacturing for optical devices.

Photolithography, a process used to etch features onto surfaces like computer chips and optical lenses, often results in devices that underperform due to tiny variations during manufacturing. To address this, researchers from MIT and the Chinese University of Hong Kong have employed machine learning to create a digital simulator that replicates a specific photolithography manufacturing…

Bridging the gap between design and production of optical gadgets.

Researchers from MIT and the Chinese University of Hong Kong have developed a digital simulator that seeks to improve photolithography's precision, often used in computer chips and optical devices manufacture. The process uses light to etch intricate designs onto surfaces, but minor discrepancies often cause devices' final performance to deviate from designers' initial intentions. The…
