Exploring secondary electron behaviour for next-generation quantum and fabrication technologies – Rose Wilkens

2025 Research Spotlight, Materials Science and Engineering, Pathway /

As the demand for faster, smaller, and more powerful technology grows, the microelectronics industry is reaching the physical limits of current manufacturing methods. Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, the current state-of-the-art technique for fabricating microchips, is being pushed to its limits, as engineers work to create features measured in nanometres and even atomic scales. Exploring new […]
