Innovative Double Patterning Strategies for Integrated Circuit Manufacture

据预测，到2030年，全球计算机芯片产业的价值将超过1.5万亿美元。尽管取得了成功，但由于制造最新芯片的成本不断上升，该行业正面临威胁，这在很大程度上是因为制造过程的复杂性。该项目旨在引入用于生产计算机芯片的新聚合物，并与我们的行业合作伙伴合作，开发新的制造方法，以实现下一代芯片。该项目有可能产生有价值的知识产权，为我们的合作伙伴提供新的工艺和设备，并帮助在不断发展的聚合物纳米技术领域培养下一代澳大利亚研究人员。

The global computer chips industry is predicted to be worth in excess of 1.5 trillion USD by 2030. Despite its success, the industry is under threat due to rising costs of manufacture of the latest chips, in large part because of the complexity of the manufacturing process. This project aims to introduce new polymers for production of computer chips and, in collaboration with our industry partner, develop new methods of manufacture to enable the next generation of chips. The project has potential to generate valuable intellectual property, support new processes and equipment for our partners, and help train the next generation of Australian researchers in the growing field of polymeric nanotechnology.
