Motorola’s most ambitious folding carries AI per flag

by

Motorola returns to loading folding. The company has cited us today in New York to present its new batch of devices and among them are, of course, the Motorola Razr 60 Ultra. It is, without a doubt, the most ambitious device that the company I have developed to date, at least in terms of power and materials. From Xataka we have moved to the house of the statue of freedom to know and try it first hand. It is still early to do a more exhaustive analysis, but at the expense that you can spend more time with it and expose it to our analysis table, here are our First impressions. Motorola Razr 60 Ultra Technical Card Motorola Razr 60 Ultra dimensions and weight Folding: 73.99 x 88.12 x 15.69 mm Displayed: 73.99 x 171.48 x 7.19 mm Weight: 199 grams internal screen 7 -inch Amoled Ltpo Super HD resolution (1,224p) 464 ppp Color 10-bit 120% DCI-P3 Refresco Rate: Up to 165 Hz Tactile sampling: 130/300 Hz Pico shine: 4,500 nits Dolby Vision External screen 4 -inch poed 417 ppp Color 10-bit 100% DCI-P3 Refresco Rate: Up to 165 Hz Tactile sampling: 120/165 Hz Pico shine: 3,000 nits processor Snapdragon 8 Elite Adreno GPU RAM 16 GB LPDDR5X Virtual RAM Internal storage 512 GB UFS 4.0 rear camera Angular 50 MP F/1.8, Pdaf, OIS, Pantone Validated Great angle: 50 MP, F/2.0, FOV 122º, Macro Video: 8k@30 fps Front camera 50 MP F/2.0 battery 4,700 mAh Fast charging 68w 30W wireless load Inverse wireless load: 5w Operating system Android 15 connectivity 5G NSA/SA WIFI GPS USB type c others Lateral footprint reader Moto AI Stereo speakers Dolby Atmos 3x microphones IP48 resistance price 1,299 euros A beautiful folding with premium aroma External Motorola Razr 60 Uitra screen | Image: Xataka First, design is one of the aspects that I liked the most of the new Razr 60 Ultra. The materials with which the new folding shell type of the company has been manufactured They are really premiumhighlighting the finish in Alcantara (the same material with which luxury cars are manufactured, indeed) and also that of natural wood. They are materials that we do not often and that suppose a small breath of fresh air. But if something has captivated me it has been the external screen. Like all Flip folding, this Motorola has an external panel that allows us to use the device without having to open it completely. In this case we talk about a panel Poled of four inches that extend throughout the front. It has a really high resolution, exceeding 400 pixels per inch, and a 3,000 nits peak shine That, although it will be activated on few occasions, it promises good visibility in broad daylight. It seems to me a most functional screen. It allows access to a lot of apps and functions without having to open the phone, being able to take photos with the folding device, consult the time, access Moto AI, the calendar, notifications, see YouTube. And without the cameras hinder the handling of all these apps. Be that as it may, everything related to design goes for tastes. Personally, it seems like a very comfortable phone in my hand and also very light. Motorola has managed OPPO FIND N5 or the Honor Magic V3to quote only some. If we look inside and look at the most technical specifications, it has a 7 -inch AMOLED panelwith Super HD resolution and Pantone validation, a detail that gives us a lot of guarantee in terms of color reproduction. And, in addition, brightness and sharpness leave nothing to be desired in use. The fold, at first glance, does not show too much. It does not bother to visualize content, nor in general when using the phone. Although the touch is seen that a small cleft is appreciated, without becoming as pronounced as the one we can notice in other flip smartphones. Do like us on this trip and Stay connected whatever your destination. Always navigate at high speed and With unlimited data with the ESIM from Holafly and forget about unpleasant surprises on the bill. Easy to install, keeping your physical Sim card to receive calls and No positions of Roaming. And with a 5 % discount! Council offered by the brand I have not yet been able This screen and its 165 Hz will be up Those users who enjoy video games. Above all, taking into account the 4,500 shine nits and the dolby vision that accompanies it. The most powerful razr to date It is still early to talk about performance, but what seems clear is that gross power will not be a problem, at least if we stick to the components. Motorola has implemented chipset Snapdragon 8 Elitethe most powerful in Android so far. 16 GB of memory are accompanied RAM LPDDR5X 512 GB of internal storage UFS 4.0so by speed it will not be. The phone performance is quite good, in principle: the experience is fluid and agile, Do not get stuck when moving through the menus or when opening and changing between applications. The camera is not far behind on this device, it is also enhanced by AI to offer quite decent results. We have a picture of three lenses of 50 megapixels both in the main sensor and in the ultra wide angle, which also makes macro. And another 50 megapixels in the Selfie Chamber. Photo made with the Razr 60 Ultra with the great angle lens | Image: Xataka It is still early to give a deep assessment of the camera because we have not been able to try it thoroughly, as we usually do in the analyzes. But it is important to point out that It has no optical zoom sensorsomething that we could expect on a device like this, high -end and with a considerably high price. The battery has a capacity to 4,700 mAh and quick charging 68wpromising more than a day of use. Although this, … Read more

take the iPhone to India

by

From ‘Made in China’ to ‘Made in India’. Apple’s plan is to migrate all the production of the iPhone that are sold in the US so that everyone comes from India. It is the less bad solution to the problem that tariffs pose, and that suddenly make the gigantic investment that Apple has made in China in time, money and resources is greatly impacted. India will manufacture all iPhone sold in the US. As indicated In Financial TimesApple hopes to migrate all the iPhone assembly that are sold in the United States to India. These measures follow the production and assembly diversification line that Apple I already had executing For a long timebut They accelerate it Notably for a single reason: the entry into force of the tariffs announced by Donald Trump. As highlighted in FT, the assembly is the last step of the production of the iPhone, which needs hundreds of components in which Apple is still very dependent on Chinese suppliers. India can take a step to take China’s witness as “world factory”. Objective date: 2026. Sources close to Apple’s plans point out that the goal is to ensure that all iPhone sold in the US are assembled in India before the end of 2026. Apple sells around 60 million iPhone in the US every year, and that objective will force India to double the current production within that period. How much migration will cost. This logistics transfer involves a massive investment in infrastructure, personnel training and adaptation of supplier and distribution chains. Apple has already managed to move part of the production, and in the 12 months that ended in March Apple assembled iPhone worth 22,000 million dollars in India, 60% more than the previous year. Foxconn and Tata prepare new factories in India. The vast majority of iPhone assembled in India are produced in the Foxconn factory to southern India, in the state of Tamil Nadu. Another suppliers is Pequeatron, which belongs to the Tata Group and that bought Wistron’s local business in that country, a plant with 10,000 employees. Bloomberg already indicated At the end of 2023 how Tata prepared a new plant in Tamil Nadu with 20 assembly lines and up to 50,000 employees. It was then expected that the factory was operational during the second semester of 2025. But he would lose. The cost of production and export to the US from India is lower than tariffs in China would mean. However, it is still superior to that of a chain that was already outraopartimized in the Asian giant. Perhaps a new tariff agreement with China raises changes in those plans. Trump also warned that could apply specific exemptions To certain companies, and Apple is one of the candidates. At the moment there are no tariffs. The Trump administration announced a few days ago that various electronic products, including smartphones and computers, would be exempt from reciprocal tariffs, something that gives a break to companies like Apple. These exemptions do not apply to additional 20% taxes that were applied to China to press Beijing for the illegal fentanyl traffic. Loss of human capital. China has been the epicenter of Apple industrial production for two decades. There a highly specialized workforce and hypeopimized processes have been created, and migration to factories in India makes part of that human capital that is hardly replicable in the short term in India. Rotations China-India prohibited. Foxconn recently stopped offering China workers to India, as indicated In Rest of the World, something that can have a clear impact on the production lines of its plants in Tamil Nadu or Karnataka … and in Apple’s plans. Those Chinese professionals supervised the production of iPhone in the plants of India. Some of those employees of continental China will be replaced by those of Taiwan, who do have permission for those rotations. What about Apple’s investment in China. In the last two decades Apple has invested billions of dollars in China to optimize its iPhone production lines there. In fact, Zhengzhou, in the province of Henan, is popularly known as “the city of the iPhone” because there is the most important Foxconn production plant for these mobiles. Apple generated millions of works in China directly or indirectly, and this new focus on India will make the structure change. But China is still crucial. Tariffs impact US imports from China, and that is where the role of India will be relevant. However, China will remain critical for Apple’s global operation, especially in the short term. The Cupertino company is making an important investment to diversify all this production and distribution chain. China may no longer manufacture the iPhone that are sold in the US, but will manufacture those that are sold in many other parts of the world. China’s role does not disappear: it is only being rebalancing. Image | Apple | Naveed Ahmed In Xataka | India is the great hope of the future of the smartphone industry. The problem: the Indians do not think the same

BOOX GO 7 Y GO COLOR 7 (2nd generation), characteristics, price and technical file

by

Not everything in the world of readers of Electronic books is Kindle, Kobo either Remarkable. For years, Boox has been stepping hard in this segment, with proposals as interesting as An e-reader with surface soul And even another integrated into a mobile phone. The Chinese company has decided to close April by renewing its GO 7 series. We talk about the GO color 7, which premieres second generation, and the new Go 7, which is committed to a monochromatic screen. Both share an elegant and minimalist design. Two readers where what stands out is writing The great novelty of this generation is the capacity for writing, which makes these devices more than simple readers: they want to occupy an active role in creativity. Both are compatible with the New Box Inksense pencilwhich is sold separately. We will have to see how they behave on a day -to -day basis, but the idea is clear: take notes, make sketches, underline texts and organize ideas directly on the screen. It is not the first time that Boox is committed to digital writing, but here he redoubles the bet. As for visual experience, the GO color 7 (2nd generation) incorporates an Eink screen 7 -inch kaleidowith 150 ppp color and monochromatic content at 300 PPP, ideal for those who seek the best of both worlds: nuances of color without giving up the sharpness. Go 7, on the other hand, mounts a monochromatic screen of the same dimensions, based on letter 1300 technology, also with 300 PPP resolution. Both include adjustable frontal light to adapt to any reading environment. As can be seen in the images, the two models have physical buttons On the right side, discreet and well integrated, designed to turn page or move without playing the screen. The frame is fine, but enough to hold them firmly. The general sensation is lightness and precision. Both devices share a good part of the technical file: 190 grams of weight, 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of expandable internal storage using microSD. They work with Android 13 and offer full access to Google Play, which greatly expands their possibilities. Price and availability of Boox Go 7 and Go Color 7 (2nd Generation) The new Box Go 7 and Go Color 7 (2nd Generation) They will be available from Friday In Spain through the official online store. For now, we are waiting to know their official prices in the country. Images | BOOX In Xataka | I’ve been reading books on the mobile for years.

It will exempt some American chips from retaliation tariffs

by

On April 11, the Chinese government announced that it would apply some 125% tariffs to the products imported from the US. This measure was the expected response after the government led by Donald Trump gradually increased taxes About Chinese imports until reaching 145%. The commercial war had just entered its cruel phase, but shortly after, on April 14, the US decided to give a provisional respite to The technology industry. And it is that the Trump administration temporarily paralyzed tariffs linked to The import of semiconductorselectronic devices and some strategic components. Just a few hours ago the Xi Jinping government He has responded using the same US tone: exempting tariffs at least eight different categories of integrated circuits manufactured in the country governed by Donald Trump. Interestingly, memory chips are still in force. China has chosen to reduce tension and protect its supply chain The Chinese administration has taken approximately two weeks to approve this exemption from the moment it announced the implementation of the 125% tariffs to the products imported from the US, but has remedied it. Customs authorities have informed Chinese companies that tariffs that have paid between April 10 and 24 for semiconductors who are now exempt from taxes will be returned to them. The longevity of this measure will be linked to the decisions that the US government will make during the next weeks At the moment we do not know how long this measure will last, but in all likelihood its longevity will be linked to The decisions you will make during the next few weeks The US government. In fact, the latter has anticipated that within a period not exceeding two months will announce to which tariffs they will be subjected Imported chips. In any case, this decision has two very beneficial consequences for China. On the one hand it relieves the pressure on their own economy by allowing their companies to import without additional taxes some critical integrated circuits that at the moment do not produce the manufacturers of local semiconductors. In addition, at the current situation this strategy allows China to protect its own supply chain. If all the chips designed or manufactured in the US had a 125% tariff load the tension to which it would be subjected China’s supply chain would be hardly bearable. All probability this would trigger a critical chip shortage that would degrade the competitiveness of Chinese companies. This measure of the Xi Jinping government is clearly a tactical adjustment. It maintains the pressure on some chips from the US, but, at the same time, it avoids shortage in its internal market for essential integrated circuits.

Renault asks Japan to copy and make “small cars that people can buy.” The truth is that we don’t want them

by

The automobile market has forgotten small and simple cars. It is a reality for which it should be a perfect mobility solution for the middle European citizen. Now, Luca De Meo is committed to prioritizing the “small cars that people can buy.” But do these words make sense? “We don’t do it”. Because they are “unproductive,” according to Luca de Meo. Of those who speak are of small cars, of those of smaller size that, for the CEO of Renault, have completely killed European regulations. “We have to make small cars that people can buy again,” he said in an interview with Auto.it. “It is difficult for a regulator to know more than an engineer which is the best solution. Let’s leave engineers the best solution to reduce the impact of CO2,” said Meo to the questions of the Italian medium. The problem? For the CEO of Renault it is clear: “European regulation in the last 20 years has failed.” And this has been because “it was driven by the Germans, who wanted to make the most complex cars, because it suited them. That has had a devastating effect in other producing countries such as France, Italy and a little in Spain where people buy small cars because they do not have money or do not enter the cities.” The solution? Have your own regulation that It resembles that of Kei Car Japanese. These cars are extremely small, they cannot exceed 3.4 meters long or 1.48 meters wide. Nor equip yourself with an engine greater than 660 cc or 64 hp. In return, cars are not considered as such and, therefore, They do not have restriction problems that traditional vehicles in large cities have. In return, MEO slides not only the idea of ​​promoting small vehicles with new legislation, it also chooses to reduce the mandatory safety elements in cars of this size. “We were forced to add a security equipment valued at 400 euros. That on a Renault Twingo is a lot of money, in a sedan it is much less.” Too expensive. It is a usual criticism of the price of cars. They are too expensive for the client to allow them. Actually, although in recent years the price increase has been very pronounced, a car is cheaper now than 50 or 60 years ago. However, the ability to access the low range has been reduced. Pressing for other expenses of enormous cost, such as housing, the Spanish average citizen is opting for low -end vehicles when acquiring a new car. In what we have been, The best -selling car is Dacia Sanderofollowed by the MG ZS, the two cheapest cars in its segment. He is accompanied by Nissan Qashqai who has recently dropped price and the Renault Captur and Seat Arona, cars that barely exceed 20,000 euros starting. It does not come profitable. In his words, Luca de Meo is part of reason. Match the cheapest cars in safety equipment with the highest cost Price irremediably increases of this type of vehicles. By European regulationsthe cheapest car that is sold in our continent must have, among other systems, emergency braking, lane output alert or rear camera. However, it is also unquestionable that this equipment is an extra security for drivers who put themselves at the controls of a car. Although from Dacia (from the Renault Group) They have removed value for these measuresthese types of obligations guarantee a minimum of possible accidents to all drivers. Do we buy them? Luca de Meo’s words sound very good but … are we interested? If we attend to the number of Enrollments in our countryurban vehicles (such as the aforementioned Twingo) barely register 1.4% of registrations. They are the compact and the C-SUV (comparable by size) the most purchased vehicles in Spain, accumulating 48.5% of registrations. A segment followed by the utilities and B-SUV, which total 39.6% of the enrollment. Expanding the views to the rest of Europe, Discriminate Acea to vehicles in traditional sizes. A+B for utilities and urban (those of smaller size), followed by compact (c), medium size (d) and luxury (e and f). However, take the SUVs out of these categories. According to these data, in 2023 segment A and B that De MEO considers among the best selling remained at 21%, while the SUVs accumulated 51% of the registrations (between three and four times more than a decade ago). The little ones (taking into account that they add two segments) are not so far from 15% that compact accumulate. Do we want them? It is the other big question. According to the registration, we prefer larger vehicles. But, in addition, there is another constant: commercial failures among smaller vehicles. Although most European citizens make their daily journeys in urban environments, cars dedicated exclusively to the city remain little dear. WE HAVE SMART EXAMPLEconsidered a car too expensive despite being extremely useful in the European cities of intricate streets in historical and difficult parking helmets.

France has put the soy in the spotlight. Science is not so clear that it is a good idea

by

Soy has become one more element in our kitchens. Soja drinks, for example, are no longer a simple substitute for milk used by vegan people, but as one more drink. However, soy has also aroused the suspicions of some, generally focused around one of its components. Now those who have just paid their food in this food have been the French health authorities. Advise against. A few weeks ago, ANSES, the National Agency for Health Security of Food, the Environment and French work, issued a recommendation in which soybean products were advised in collective restoration. The motive wielded is in the isoflavones, but Not everyone is convinced in which it has been a good idea. Soy and isoflavonas. The Isoflavonas They are estrogen -like substances (hormones linked mainly to female reproduction) that are produced by some plants. Among the plants that produce these compounds are soybeans, and also to a lesser extent in other legumes and vegetables. The impacts on the human health of these compounds have generated interest in the community, scientific, not only for the risks that could entail but also for potential benefits. Since these compounds can be “coupled” to our hormonal receptors, the possible risks associated with the consumption of these phytoestrogens usually associate with their impact on our hormonal system, especially in that of children and adolescents, even in the growth stage. Avoid excessive consumption. According to details Radio France Internationalthe new measure is focused on avoiding excessive consumption, through the recommendation to eliminate soy products from collective restoration. This includes from nurseries to elderly residences, as well as other teaching centers and the canteens of companies. The new guide of the French agency establishes toxicological reference values ​​(TRV) by ingestion that try to delimit the safe consumption of these compounds (those that are below the value), of which they could begin to suppose a risk. According to the agency, these values ​​would be 0.02 mg per kg of body mass and day in the general population, and 0.01 mg/kg of body mass and day in pregnant women and children. Doubts. The measure has generated some skepticism. As It is explained from Sincthe new limits are based on studies conducted with animal models. While this type of studies represent a fundamental pillar when studying the impact of some substances, extrapolating its results to humans is not always simple. There are at least three factors that could alter these results continue to explain the article. The first, metabolic: mice metabilize these compounds less efficiently, which causes them to accumulate more easily in their body. Secondly, because some of the studies would have been using high doses that would not correspond to those we absorb when we consume isoflavones orally. Finally, the intestinal microbiota could also play a fundamental role in our absorption of these compounds. And in this sense, the gastrointestinal microbioma of humans and mice differs too much to be able to perform reliable extrapolations. And in humans? As they detail from Sinchumans do not yield especially alarming results. Rather on the contrary. These studies, including A technical review published in 2022 In the magazine Critical Reviews in Food Science and NutritionThey tend to point out that endocrine disruption tests associated with soybean consumption or its isoflavones are not detected. Controlling food concentration. Although the recommendations to collective restoration have focused the debate of the new French recommendations, these also pay attention to soy producers and food manufacturers. Not all soy varieties and not all products of this legume contain comparable isoflavone concentrations. That is why It is recommended To these sectors choose plant varieties, agronomic techniques and elaboration processes that minimize the presence of these compounds.

A few months after the arrival of ‘GTA VI’, Twitch crowned as the most watched of 2024 to an old acquaintance of the franchise

by

We are in 2025 and, although the industry has an eye on the expected ‘GTA VI‘, what Twitch dominates remains its predecessor. ‘GTA v‘, which was launched in September 2013, has been placed again at the top of the podium of the most seen video games on the Amazon platform, Collect The Verge. In 2024 he accumulated more than 1.400 million hours seen, surpassing giants such as ‘League of Legends’ (1,190 million), ‘Valorant’ (804 million), ‘Fortnite’ (539 million) and ‘Call of Duty’ (451 million), according to official data shared by Twitch. In total, more than 15.6 billion hours of video games on Twitch were consumed globally. Why does it continue to work? The main engine behind this phenomenon is not the story mode or the original missions of the game. The key is in the ‘GTA Roleplay‘, a modality based on online servers where players assume fictitious identities and build improvised stories in real time. There is no imposed narrative: each session is different and created by the community itself. This mode, which is only available for the PC version, has made the game reinvent year after year. The role play dynamics, added to the freedom of the open world, makes it an ideal platform both to play and to generate live content. A veteran who keeps billing. In addition to the impact on audiences, the title remains an income machine for Rockstar Games. Since its launch, the ‘Grand Theft Auto’ franchise has generated more than 8,000 million dollars. Only ‘GTA V’ has sold more than 210 million copies, which places it as the third best -selling video game of all time, only behind ‘Minecraft’ and ‘Tetris’. A good part of that income comes from ‘GTA online’, the multiplayer mode that has grown in parallel to the base game and that maintains an active, competitive and creative community. With an eye on ‘GTA VI’. All this happens while the world of the video game expects the launch of ‘GTA VI’, planned for autumn of 2025. The current figures of their predecessor not only reflect nostalgia or fidelity of the community, but an active base that generates global content, money and interest more than a decade later. ‘GTA V’ is not just a long -lived game. It is one of the most durable cultural phenomena of digital entertainment. And if it serves as an indication, the way for ‘GTA VI’ seems to be more than paved.

The human voice loses ground and automatic dubbing with AI makes its way between creators

by

Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to gain space in unthinkable sectors just a few years ago. What began revolutionizing software development is now leaving a mark on very different fields. The phenomenon of ‘Vibe Coding‘, a new way of programming based on Prompts In natural language, without writing code as such, the rules of development are changing. At the same time, tools such as Dall · e of OpenAi or Adobe Firefly They are redefining visual creation, allowing generating images and videos from textual descriptions. And now, AI also reaches voice professionals. For a few months, YouTube allows some creators to use automatic dubbing through AI. This function, which is being deployed progressively, is now available for all members of the YouTube Partner Programa system that allows creators to monetize their contents on the platform. Thanks to this tool, videos can reach global audiences more easily, as an alternative to traditional dubbing and postproduction processes. An activated function by default. One of the most striking changes is that this function is activated by default: if you upload an English video, YouTube will automatically double it in several languages, including Spanish, French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese and Portuguese. If the video is in any of those languages, an English version will be generated. The objective, according to the company, is to “break the barriers of the language.” But if the creator prefers not to use this function, it can deactivate it following concrete steps: enter YouTube Studio from the computer and follow this route: Configuration > Subsequent adjustments > Advanced configuration. There you have to uncheck the ‘allow automatic dubbing’ box and click on store. The management of this function, in addition, can only be done from YouTube Studio on a computer, and allows you to even manually review dubbing before publishing them if you want greater control of the result. YouTube admits that technology still has improvement margin. Translations may not be exact and the generated voice may not faithfully represent the author. In fact, the company itself recognizes that intonation, emotional tone and certain cultural nuances do not always move correctly. The basis of this function is in the technology of Google Deepmind And Google Translate, but even with that background infrastructure, not all videos can be folded successfully. Factors such as the original accent, the background noise, the use of jargon or even proper names can affect the quality of dubbing. A video with automatic YouTube dubbing To know if a video is bent with AI, it is enough to look for the “auto-dubbed” label. It is also possible to change audio track from the player’s menu, through the gear icon in the lower right corner. The language adapts to that the user has configured as preferential, which makes the experience, in many cases, more transparent. We can see the active function in this example video. The prelude: real dubbing with professional actors. YouTube had already taken previous steps in this direction. With the function “Add audio track“, Some creators like Mrbeast They began to offer versions of their videos in several languages using professional voice actors. He even counted With the dubbing actress that plays Naruto in his videos in Japanese. This strategy, focused on expanding the scope of the content without losing interpretive quality, allowed many of these videos to reach new audiences. Mrbeast has not been the only. According to YouTube datathe videos that offered versions in several languages ​​made more than 15% of the visualization time come from audiences that saw the content in a language other than the original. In January 2023, users came to consume more than 2 million hours of folded content every day. And that only with the initial tests. The extension of this function to all members of the Partner Program is contributing to the growth of the use of voices generated by artificial intelligence on the platform. This raises questions about how this technology will be integrated into the professional dubbing ecosystem. Some creators could opt for this automatic alternative in certain types of content, especially in informative or structured pieces. However, in other formats where vocal interpretation provides key nuances, the role of dubbing professionals remains a difficult element to replace. Development continues, and the balance between technology and creativity is still evolving.

We already know what the chips that will arrive until 2039 will be. The machine that will manufacture them is close

If everything goes as planned Intel will have its lithography 14a (1.4 Nm) List in 2026. It will be the first integration technology of this company that will use the equipment of extreme ultraviolet photolithography (UVE) and AL ASML opening. TSMC and Samsung have already confirmed that They will also bet on this machinebut for now it is Intel who carries the lead. In fact, it has been about a year and a half Testing it in its Hillsboro plant (USA). The engineers of the Dutch Company ASML have invested a decade in the development of the technology necessary to put this machine ready, which, in reality, is a high -generation extreme ultraviolet lithography team. This company of the Netherlands plans to deliver to its customers annually from 2025 about 20 teams of this type with one purpose: put in their hands the possibility of producing 2 nm chips And beyond. Much further. After the High-no lithography equipment, the Hyper-NA machines will arrive To develop the UVE Lithography team (EUV high-na for its acronym in English) ASML engineers have put a very advanced optical architecture that has an opening of 0.55 compared to the 0.33 value that the first generation UVE lithography equipment has. This refinement of the optics allows to transfer to the wafer patterns of greater resolution, hence it is possible to manufacture chips using more advanced integration technologies than those currently used in the nodes of 2 and 3 Nm. In the article we dedicate to Rayleight criteria We explain in a lot of detail what the ‘Na’ parameter consists (Numerical Aperture), But in this text it is enough for us to know that this variable identifies The opening value of the optics Used by the lithographic equipment. In this context this parameter essentially reflects the same as the opening value when we talk about The optics of a photo cameraso it conditions the amount of light that the optical elements They are able to collect. As we can intuit, the more light gathens, the better. A single UVE Machine of haute opening is capable of producing more than 200 wafers per hour However, this is not all. ASML has also improved the mechanical systems that are responsible for the manipulation of wafers with the purpose of making it possible for a single UVE Machine to be able to produce more than 200 wafers per hour. This benefit is very important for semiconductor manufacturers because it deeply conditions its competitiveness. If we want to investigate to show what is beyond the Uve haute opening teams, the ideal is that we turn to Imec, an integrated circuit research center founded in 1984 and lodged in Leuven (Belgium). It is the most experienced laboratory in the tuning of new integration technologies that we have in Europe. In fact, their engineers work side by side with ASML technicians. The slide we publish on top of these lines contains a lot of interesting information. According to IMEC in 2035 integrated circuit manufacturers will begin large -scale production of 3 angstroms chips (0.3 Nm). This milestone is very important because presumably these will be the first semiconductors made of UVE lithography equipment Hyper-na In which Asml is already working. However, of course, these machines will not arrive that year; They will be ready much earlier. That will be the time when Chips manufacturers will start large -scale production, but possibly this machine will be prepared at the end of this decade. Whatever the interesting thing is that the opening of the optics of these avant -garde lithography equipment will be, again according to IMEC, of ​​0.75 in the face of the opening of 0.55 of the UVE machines of high opening, or 0.33 in the conventional UVE equipment, as we have seen a few lines above. In any case, the itinerary of this laboratory anticipates that In 2037 the integrated circuits of 2 angstroms will arriveand in 2039 chips manufacturers will pass this barrier and go beyond the 2 angstroms. It seems science fiction, but it is not. It’s just science. Image | IMEC More information | IMEC In Xataka | China needs to develop a new type of immune chips to US sanctions.
