The Billion Dollar Machine: First Time Right.
#1about 2 minutes
The challenge of building next-generation CPUs
ASML and ZEISS machines power the exponential growth in chip manufacturing, facing immense challenges to keep pace with Moore's Law.
#2about 3 minutes
How modern microchips are manufactured
A step-by-step overview of the chip production process, from silicon wafers to the critical photolithography exposure step.
#3about 4 minutes
Achieving atomic-level precision in optics
The manufacturing precision of lithography mirrors is so extreme that if a mirror were the size of Germany, the largest imperfection would be the width of a hair.
#4about 5 minutes
Why simulation replaces physical hardware prototyping
Building physical prototypes is economically impossible, so development relies on simulating the product, manufacturing processes, and production machinery.
#5about 5 minutes
Using a digital twin to cancel background noise
A digital twin simulates a machine's physical properties and background noise, allowing for its subtraction from real-world measurements to achieve unparalleled accuracy.
#6about 10 minutes
Q&A on tech stack, limits, and collaboration
The team answers audience questions about the digital twin's tech stack, the physical limits of current technology, and the industry-wide partnerships required.
