- At the Gordon Moore campus, Intel engineers do the work to push Moore's Law - the idea that the number of transistors on a single chip will double every two years. A cutting-edge new machine will help them do just that.

Lets take a minute to think about just how this machine was thought up and put together on paper like wtf the team who invented that machine is wild.
They have been working on this and planning it since the 90s i think and the next one is in the works and the next and so forth
Had the same thought. Cannot imagine the brains necessary, truly impressive
Took decades
ASML does some weird shit. 👍🏼
I knew that thing was immensely complicated but not 250 specialists need to sleep on site for six months to put it together complicated.
Sorry, so where did those engineers come from? Mars??
@@QAYWSXEDCCXYDSAEWQ Europe
@@QAYWSXEDCCXYDSAEWQmy guess is all around th world
@QAYWSXEDCCXYDSAEWQ It's a team of install engineers from the supplier of the machine, ASML in the Netherlands. The Engineers are most likely of a variety of nationalities, but based in the Netherlands. Once installed a new team takes over, specifically trainend in the Netherlands to care for this machine. They will relocate to the US to stay with the machine and make sure it's optimized and maintained.
Netherlands, where ASML is based
The fact that we, as a species, can do this is simply amazing.
👽
U cant
not China, not India, not Africa, not Is-eal, not South America. Give credit to the people who actually deserve it. "As a species" lol. Get real.
ASML uses Intel chips to make the tools to make a more advanced Intel chip ...🧐
A technological positive feedback loop
You had me laughing. I never thought of it like that.
how it's been going since fire 🤯
It's all about Time clocks faster than before
We are atoms (people) marveling at how other atoms (ASML machines) uses yet other atoms (intel chips) to advance yet other atoms (new intel chips).
Canon and Nikon are also building lithography machines. But both don't come close to what ASML can do with their machines. They are totally left behind.
Well but Canon and Nikon will be around a few decades longer than the Netherlands.
They blinded me with science!
There are friends of friends I know who work there and they are extremely brilliant people. Like 5 year old geniuses brilliant.
Things they do in there are insanely advanced not yet even made public nor will it ever for probably decades.
Every R&D executive has earned their bones at Intel through knowledge and working on teams while moving up.
Hats off to all the engineers.
slow your roll, don't forget, sexist, elitist, and ai that takes flawed people and puts them in the bread line cuz 'puters do it better. I am all for it, but the future run by the chip makers dreams is not my dream. I see dark clouds on the horizon, and these chips will save us, but its about to get weird science before it gets utopian.
I wish I can work there
@@univera1111 Iike I wish I could be more than a bot, but I am just a bot so advanced, that no one loves me yet.
Finally a good, illustrated and simple explanation of Deutch ASML Lithography machines

They're supposed to have their nose completely covered - Robert would be turning in his grave if he saw all of the exposed snouts.
But what if that's not the clean room, but the engineering bay bellow ??
Old days. Now the clean room is inside the tools. Ballroom Fabs are Class 100 while the wafer environment is kept Class 1.
@@Squeezmo Still supposed to keep the nose covered to maintain Class 100.
Nobody covers their nose in the fab. It isn't a policy except in very certain lab areas inside the fab.
Intel (INTC) going the right way, yet their stock continues to languish. Giving INTC $8.5 Billion to locate new factories in the US was brilliant!
Current stock probably doesnt matter as much to them since the majority of computer manufacturers will be in line for the new chips this machine will be producing.
thank You. Good Report!
If you want to make a lithographer mad, call him a map maker. Works every time! 😅
Building stuff with light. Crazy.
Fascinating! Thank you
Mary got a job at Intel her junior year at highschool. Bet you need a degree and 5+ years of experience to get the same job now at Intel.
I worked here in the 90s - Great place to be.
I got my first wintel machine in the 90s. Thank you.
@@Jguthro ?????
@@Jguthro NO problem.
I've seen many videos on modern chip fabrication, including specifically about ASML, but this is the best all-around explanation of the problems and process I've ever seen. Well done!
Great news story. I work in semiconductor manufacturing and i learn new things everyday.
If all the Harvard MBAs didn't have contempt for manufacturing over the last 40 years ASML could be a US company.
That's was a purposeful design by the US powers that be to weaken the middle class, and thus increase the chasm of the have and have nots
Touché
they've always been highly dependent on US funding and components
Fortunately it is a Dutch company🇳🇱😊
@@pieterpons3893 It is, however the collaboration that lead to the successful EUV process involved Dutch, German and US Universities over a 30 year period. And ASML is the only foreign to the US company on which US distribution restrictions have been imposed and respected.
It is really amazing technology, but I wish that a lot more funding from the US CHIPS Act would have been allocated to advance next generation technology, like beyond spintronics related technologies (in particular, Non-Volatile-Memory (NVM) MRAM).
Spintronics related technologies (like MRAM) are key needed technologies to enable « bi-stable » computing (somewhat like E-ink displays) that would enable plenty new opportunities, and it would be a unique opportunity for the US to position itself to regain technological leadership in next generation semiconductor technologies.
Chips have 75 billion transistors. Even an iPhone CPU has 19 billion
Imagine all the engineering that went into this
Congratulations 😊
lithography is mindblowing engineering
The lasers and drops of metal tin and the science behind it blew mine mind bro
*AWESOME* to see Intel building new fabs in the States!
I just hope the Oregon plants are well-protected from quakes, given that the US west coast can get a few big jolts from time to time.
Not so much a problem in Arizona, New Mexico and Ohio though, which is why I'm thrilled that those states have been chosen for fab plants.
14 Angstroms!!! Holy Moly!
Take that China!
Big brains.
As a kid i experimented with transistors and was so exited once a project worked for me hence watching this boggles the mind.
This is one reporting for the history books. Thanks
This is Awesome!
Aren’t you that grifter who would antagonize the homeless and got a bunch of Trump supporters mad at an early rest village by calling it an “Antifa training camp”?
& yet Intel foundary business is losing $7 billion per year.

Okay
They need engineering specialists to compete internationally, and for the country both in all the downstream applications you have to predict that a large inflow of tech engineers. will be needed in all sorts of high tech applications.
Literally alien tech
Mary Houston, I'm so jealous! You have my dream career!
Good to see someone who cares/knows about tech talking
Intel has always been semiconductor innovators, created the GAA and back side power delivery just to name a few. Awesome
Awesome!!!
Thank you to those who decided to invest in America’s future technology.
Crazy way to make stuff
Amazing how they build such precion machine
Congrats, It's the first useful work which helps all humans by quantum technology and these chips will reach everywhere in the universe as soon as you open to the market .
Personally I would not put all this expensive and sensitive equipment in an earthquake zone but what do I know?
And that's exactly why you're here commenting on youtube videos and not there working on semiconductors.
Everything inside that FAB is specifically designed for any seismic shocks, even the things I've designed and built that sit inside that FAB.
I didn’t you are seismic effort, semiconductor expert and You Tube expert. Man you must be making millions
Works just fine in Taiwan for TSMC.
LOL yeah ironically Intel's main competition has a lot more earthquake problems, but it's really just a simple math problem of how long an earthquake shuts down the fab and cost of damage vs. the cost of protecting things with dampers and better architecture like any factory or skyscraper. When you're working with atom-size precision everything is an earthquake, and they're already doing pretty crazy stuff to minimize vibrations at the microscopic level. These fabs (and a lot of other factories) have earthquake detection networks with sensors far away that give them a few seconds to shut everything down when an earthquake is about to happen. If you like this kinda thing the Asianometry channel has much more detailed videos.
they dropped the ball on euv lith and are trying to catch up now
Wunderbar

The machine that makes the chips that runs the Ai that'll destroy the world.
The world as we know it is over, kaput, finato, thats it, sayonara, se la vie, nada mas, nunca jamas, and never again.
Keep buying Intel stock now. Celebrate max later.
If Intel uses its own ai, of course it does, then it won't have stock to buy, every penny reinvested in to growing its facility and caring for its process of becoming self automated to the point that human error is gone, and its only a few people to turn on the quaint seal of approval of authenticity and confirmed reinvesting its revenue into itself. Private holdings, a select distribution center, or cia, for the world. Thats not for profit.
Technology is no more than complexity
I can't help but wonder how they keep tin and silicon from building up in the optics, probably has to flush itself frequently with powerful solvents, but then that's gonna dissolve more than the garbage over time, so they must pick materials and solvents carefully? Anyways what a marvelous machine!!!
It's captured for reuse
Didn't he say they vaporize the tin in the process??
@@watchout5508 Yes. But, vaporized metal condensates in random places around the vacuum chamber. It's how a process called magnetized sputter deposition can be used to create mirrors and other metal coatings... but in that process they have to repeatedly open the thing up and clean out the chamber.
That's nothing; TSMC can produce chips so advanced that they actually exist.
This is far better than anything you will ever accomplish in your less-than-significant existence
@@email4664 I'm doing better than you.
@@email4664Intel’s new Gaudi 3 AI GPU is completely made on TSMC’s 5nm! Why doesn’t Intel design teams trust their own foundry?
their coming soon, it's been a 7 year build on progress updating Intels FABS to move towards EUV, I've been involved with the electrical portion of the Vacuum control system for the last 7 years, and am still involved modifying and designing at least one more new system sometime soon down the road. Love my job, really cool stuff to work with every day.
Ok expert.
For anyone who wonders how small are the circuits printed on the wafers what magnification do they use to print them ?
Imagine pointing a laser to the moon on a persons thumb that how far away small a circuit is printed Youd need a dam good telescope to see it hello hubble.
so we talking apple II here or...?
🎉
COVER YOUR DAMN NOSE
The greatest printer ever made
I want to hear more computing specs before I buy stock though. NVIDIA seems to have the lead right now and I'm not sure Intel is moving fast enough to take that lead from them, or even if they're competing on an apples to apples level.
wow. imagine what the world will look like in just a couple years.
Imagine dropping or damaging one container in trainsport …😅 well their goes like. 10 million
The accuracy required for the optics and motion control is unbelievable. Only ASML and a
Taiwan Company make this lithography machines. Thats why China's threat to invade Taiwan is so dangerous.
TSMC eats Intel's Lunch three times a day
Global Foundries is ours. Intel is mine. ASML I co-own. Apple is mine.
Actually that isn’t quite true. Moore’s Law is driven by data and processing needs. Moore’s Law is “maintained” by faster processing hardware.
No, it’s the the number of transistors on the chip and this the size of the traces on the chip.
@@notanymore9471 Please re-read the post but I’ll bite. Drop the constant increase in data and processing needs then what do you have? Lengthening of Moore’s Law. You’re welcome.
@@truthvfiction it has to do with transistors specifically. Everything else is just a product of the size of the chip and and the number of transistors on it.
@@notanymore9471 Entirely wrong once again. I’m an enterprise architect with a Fortune 100 company and have been for 22 years. Based on your wiki response clearly you are not in IT or systems. How can you not know the difference between implementation of a Moore’s Law and what drives it? Pick up a copy of Gordon Moore’s seminal book on his postulate and please stop using wiki. 🤦🏼
Once they get to building atom by atom will that be the end of moors law?
Bots , Space station can be a good development for such companies. I wish I had such money to develop superior technology
It's nice that Intel got the new ASML machine, but they fell behind when they didn't use those lithography machines from the start and bit them hard real hard now that TSMC and Samsung make the advanced chips now. You need ASML machines like that to do again the 1 to 2 nanometer chips.
Nah. Intel is getting the latest and greatest machines from ASML. But it may take until 2025 for mass production to start.

I don't know whats going to happen in future. Are they going to perform nuclear fission in this or what. As they already build buildings on that nm fab.
By the way i am just 18. So, don't get offended by anything commented by me.
Just sharing thoughts. It feels so important to explain after knowing complexity of this to not be in jail due any mistake in comment.😅
The waffer substrate (silicone with a purity around 99.99%) is only manufactured by 5 companies in the world. 4 in Japan and 1 in Singapore. This is one more bottleneck in this area.
Silicon. Silicone is for implants.
I think Japan is safe
The days of more law are almost over. The new era of Quantum is coming soon.
But so delicate they are not reliable for a long time
Ics generally last for a way longer time than they stay relevant from a performance standpoint
I am sure that this facility is off limit to those oregon rioters.
Wdf dude at 2:48 looks like he ate a piece. If a piece is missing, he got it😂😂😂
ASML is the company to invest in, they have no competition and it’s the only foreign company in the world that the US controls export rights to. That’s how important they are.
Chip manufacturing is water intensive. So…. Why AZ and NM?
Why did they use Resident Evil music? Is Intel the new Umbrella Corporation? Should we be worried about zombies?😅
I'm a little concerned that only one place in the world, let alone in the us, are making these chips. What if some natural disaster or intensional mishap where to happen in Hillsboro. I'm glad that we've got this tech in Oregon but I can't help but be a little pessimistic the way the world is today.
Theres another machine thats going to an unknown manufacturer
All show and no go, meanwhile other advanced civilizations have chips only 1 atom thin, 1 pc of theirs is capable of letting the entire Africa play minesweeper and solitaire
And where exactly is this Alien computer located that you have personally seen the specifications and size of transistors in it?🤨
@@connorthomas2667 as long as you can imagine the concept then it's already possible for somebody else, although some people are actually working on it, instead of a silicone wafer it's just a layer of carbon atoms (maybe they call it graphene), so it's only one atom thick and they use another atom of another element ( I forgot which element maybe it was sodium or boron), but the point is the other atom acts like a switch so that basically becomes the transistor, imagine a processor only 1 atom thick, now if you could stack layers for even more processing power then it becomes more powerful, if life started on another part of the universe 2 billion years ahead of us then that's the kind of tech they are using
Just a portion of cheesie chips for me ta.
Aliens
I hope these new chips have documented power limits and not just 'recommendations' (so they don't overvolt and cook them just so they look good in benchmarks for a year and then crash at increasingly frequent intervals)
Are you talking about chips
From the 90s?
@@trumptookthevaccine1679 You might want to read up on current events and 13th and 14th gen Intel Processors becoming unstable due to silicon degradation and/or overvolting under (in spec) operation
Subsidized by government. Unfair trading practice and a security risk for other countries. 😂❤
All that money invested but the chip still suck
The chips act was suppose to be for American companies. But now the US govt. is going to give Taiwan's TSMC billions of US taxpayer money to compete against US companies on US soil. Congress should block the money going to TSMC. All of the money should go to Intel and other US companies.
Do you even know what TSMC is doing with it or are you just crying because "muh america"

Happy VACAY Pat! Incidentally, with all this pricey hi-tech stuff, well suffice, are we at risk of being a major target for bad actors, now? Just wonderin ...
🤔Will there be sufficient demand for these advanced chips though?

So they take taxpayers money to make something that the taxpayers have to pay for if you want something with one on it
5:32 Mary Huston needs to cover her Face a bit better.

Right. Intel can make these super-duper chips, because… trust them… but can’t actually deliver anything close (or have they ever). But again… trust them.
Let the Intel fan mutants jump on here and claim Intel chips haven’t been based on old instruction sets, full of vulnerabilities, power hungry, heater-equivalent, monopolistic, over-priced PoS for decades.
Wow, impressive! But.....the new quantum computers are slightly ahead in production than this behemoth, and this thing won't even make a chip for years.
The power of quantum computers will blow away even the best chips we'll ever be able to make....period. This expensive machine is a waste of money....unfortunately for Intel.
