# More efficient software for more efficient microchips


- **Date:** Thursday, Jul 18, 2024
- **Time:** 14:10–14:40 (30 min)
- **Room:** STAGE 8 (120)
- **Event:** World Congress 2024

## Description

In our semiconductor industry, hardware advancements drive software developments and vice versa. In this talk, we present an outlook of the journey chip manufacturing is going to take in the 2030s. One of the goals is net zero emissions. We shape this journey not only by delivering leading edge optical systems for lithography and mask manufacturing, but also by more efficient software. Our evolutions in design and technology pushed the final frontier of what is possible further out by enabling beneficial die shrinks.
