Photolithography, the technique used to create computer chips and optical devices, often results in minuscule deviations from design intentions. With the goal of closing the gap between design and manufacturing, a team of researchers from MIT and the Chinese University of Hong Kong, led by mechanical engineering graduate student Cheng Zheng, used machine learning to…

Photolithography is a crucial process in the manufacturing of computer chips and other optical devices, but validity between the design and the final product often falls short due to tiny variations in the manufacturing process. To address this issue, researchers from MIT and the Chinese University of Hong Kong have developed a machine-learning aided digital…

Photolithography, a process used to fabricate computer chips and optical devices, often falls short of designers' intentions due to tiny deviations during manufacturing. To address this, researchers from MIT and the Chinese University of Hong Kong have used machine learning to develop a digital simulator that precisely replicates a specific photolithography manufacturing process. The simulator…

Photolithography, a process used to create computer chips and optical devices, can often have tiny deviations during production, causing the final product to fall short of the initial design. To address this, researchers from MIT and the Chinese University of Hong Kong have used machine learning to develop a digital simulator that more accurately models…
