Researchers at Cornell University have developed a powerful imaging technique that reveals atomic scale defects inside computer chips for the first time. Using an advanced electron microscopy method, ...

A stunning new imaging breakthrough lets scientists see — and fix — the atomic flaws hiding inside tomorrow’s computer chips.

It's called NanoFab Reflection. It's expected to cost $614 million to build and is part of a $10 billion computer chip research center plan announced by Gov. Kathy Hochul in December 2023.

Making computer chips smaller is not just about better design. It also depends on a critical step in manufacturing called patterning, where nanoscale structures are carved into materials to form the ...

In the Cornell Custom Silicon Systems project team, undergraduates get the opportunity to design and test computer chips — work typically reserved for fourth-year doctoral students or seasoned ...
