“Inflection Point” in the context of approach, recently created novel nano-materials, and “Advancement in Wet Processing Technology” will be briefly discussed in this review talk to capture the holistic response of industrial and academic innovators to the major challenges faced by the IT sector today.
Technology challenges are a major, but not the only, factor in industry’s dilemma today. Innovation and collaboration are essential to scale the inflection point. New 2D materials might offer exciting possibilities for future information technologies. Alternative wet processing technologies might be safer, cleaner, and more reliable in wet-processing steps of etching, cleaning, and resist stripping without expensive solvents but with full automation.
