In Intel’s second “Behind this Door” video, take a sneak peek into fab D1X in Oregon to see what is likely the most complicated machine humans have built.
An extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography system uses radically shorter wavelengths to project circuit patterns onto silicon wafers — wavelengths at 13.5 nanometers, or more than 10 times smaller than today’s lithography machines. The EUV machine pushes Moore’s Law forward and chip makers cannot produce leading-edge chips without it.
Delivering just one of these tools to D1X takes three Boeing 747 cargo planes, 40 freight containers and 20 trucks. The school bus-sized machine comprises 100,000 parts and weighs nearly 200 tons.
ASML makes these EUV machines. The Dutch company is currently working on the next-generation of the tool — and Intel is in line to receive one.

Katika video ya pili ya Intel 'Behind this Door', angalia D1X ya Oregon ili kuona nini ni mashine ngumu zaidi ambayo wanadamu wamejenga. Lithography ya Ultraviolet (EUV) hutumia urefu wa mawimbi mafupi sana kutengeneza mifumo ya mzunguko kwenye vipande vya silicon, urefu wa mawimbi ya 13.5 nanometers, au zaidi ya mara 10 ndogo kuliko mashine za leo za lithography. Mashine ya EUV inasisitiza Sheria ya Moore mbele na watengenezaji wa chip hawawezi kutengeneza chips za juu bila hiyo. Kwa mfano, kwa ajili ya usafirishaji wa vifaa hivi kwa DX-1 kuna ndege tatu za Boeing 747 za mizigo, kontena 40 za mizigo na malori 20. Mashine hiyo yenye ukubwa wa basi la shule ina sehemu 100,000 na inazidi uzito wa tani 200. ASML ni kampuni ya utengenezaji wa vifaa vya EUV. Kampuni ya Uholanzi kwa sasa inafanya kazi kwenye kizazi kijacho cha chombo <unk> na Intel iko katika mstari wa kupokea moja.
