Novellus Systems Releases Next-Generation UV Thermal Processing System

Novellus Systems (Nasdaq: NVLS) today introduced its next-generation ultra-violet thermal processing (UVTP) system, the SOLA xT. The SOLA xT is used in the manufacturing of advanced logic devices at 45nm and below and incorporates a proprietary UVTP treatment process that modifies the physical characteristics of a previously-deposited film through exposure to ultraviolet light and heat. The new system, featuring on-board UV monitoring and a customizable optics assembly, provides process flexibility and extendibility over multiple device generations. The first SOLA xT system will be shipped to UMC's Fab 12i in Singapore.

Researchers Convert Normal Atoms into Rydberg Atoms Through Laser Excitation

Rydberg atoms are highly sensitive atoms, as one electron is only loosely bound. Compared to „normal“ atoms which are one tenth of a nanometer in size those giant atoms are ~100 nanometers large. Due to their sensitivity they are very useful for quantum logic operations. As they can feel each other over distances up to several micrometers they can be used as conditional switches for quantum states, for example to connect nodes of a quantum network.
