450mm Silicon Wafers, High NA Lithography, Chips Act, Intel, TSMC, ASML

Integrated Circuits with higher transistor count per unit area, more lithography mask layers, complex 5nm N5 nodes & emerging N6, going to 1nm chipset features with Post HNA technology from ASML. Qualcomm, Samsung, Apple, TSMC, Intel, AMD, IBM, Google, Amazon.com, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Texas Instruments, ASIC, ADC, DAC, ADAS automotive chips where each new car has 150+ chips in fan-less aluminum heatsink modules taking radar, lidar, sonar & imaging CMOS or CCD chip sensor data & doing sensor data fusion or synaptic aperture multispectral imaging in UV, Visible, IR, with X-Ray & GAMA Imaging & even medical MRI & PET scanning technology adapted for autonomous driving cars, SUV's, Trucks, Ships & more types of vehicles with Level 5 autonomy & V2V & V2G communications networking 5G NR high band 26-72 GHz network access high speed mobile broadband over-the-air software updates of emerging BEV's or battery electric vehicles with self-driving technology like those sold by Tesla Motors made in California today, with tab-less 4680 Lithium NMC batteries for the upcoming Tesla Model 2 for $25,000 with 250 miles of range per charge & L4 DC Fast charing to 80% in about 10 minutes. 

I am talking about novel chipset architectures pushing Moores LAW well beyond the scope of ever shrinking IC features, to materials much better that ultra purified silicon for post lithography E-beam sub 10 nm phonon or photon mask etching superior precision chip fab technology not even invented yet. We are going to 6G mobile data system for faster than Comcast Xfinity cable modem speeds in smartphones on the go near the latest micro-cell 6G cellular antenna networked with fiber-optical ultra high bandwidth connection to the internet. Satellite internet service networks with millions of nodes like Star Link from SpaceX & really novel global internet coverage that gets all human people who want to be online online, finally & once & for all bridging the digital divide. 

I am saying that the people or companies that control information in the future will own the future of all economies, will control all government & will exert unmatched global power & economy & political control, monopolizing to maximize profits such that trillionaires will be created, a small elite minority with more wealth personally than even the richest nations of the world today in 2023. I am taking about the radical emerging technology that continues a recently development cycle through world war three, where people will work with scientists in teams to develop ever faster compute, faster chips, faster technology, faster telecom, faster networks, more bandwidth, new communications standards, faster mobile device charging, the next thing after USB-C that's even more powerful with faster IO. 

I am taking about mixing computers directly into human brains & multiplying human intelligence to produce genetic engineering so profound that life on Earth will become enhanced with continual technological upgrades of every possible kind. People will be able to buy robotic limbs & become human machine hybrids, with hybrid biological electrical CNS & cybernetics that enhance human sight, with vision that can see way more than just visible frequencies into UV & IR ranges of phonons, down to X-ray & to very long wavelength deep IR. I am talking about hearing aids much more powerful that can multiply hearing & make it possible to turn your hearing off completely or listen to the softest lowest quietest sounds of delicate small insects moving or leaves rustling in the wind a great distance away across a field. 

I am talking about home security systems that know you as a person with Persona identification that can tell the difference between a dog or cat & new people visiting your home for the first time, a security system with consciousness alerts that can communicate directly with your brain, such that you live & work from home over networks after all physical money abolish & when digital currencies & crypto are the ways to exchange value. I am talking about the distance future when people are able to fly around in electric personal mobility assist aircraft with very little energy, when solar PV modules are 80% efficient, when fusion power long ago broadly commercialized, where we are going by 2100 :) 

Czochralski method

Bigger heaver silicon boule melting Czochralski method under vacuum argon in highly insulated setups to minimize vacancies & defects in the resulting silicon crystal silicon of ultra high purity with highly minimized glitches or very few defects as an ultra precisely made seed crystal dipped into the molten bath of liquid hot silicon melt & then slowly spin extracted upward as the cone forms at the top of the emerging boule, in 450mm setups the mass of the extracted crystal will be around 2000 kilograms. $50 billion will be applied to new Chip Fabs that work with the then new 450mm wafers to etch all the chipset features & interconnects. Globalization between dozens of companies to make it happen, with consortiums & all sorts of information sharing science like communication between all the players. 

ASML Post High NA Lithography Machines that cost $500,000,000 each purchased by Intel & Global Foundries & Samsung while geopolitical forces keep them away from China or Chinese companies that make who industries out of cloning & copying technology invented, patented & commercialized in America & countries in Europe; so that the CCP does not jack the prices of essential & critical chips up the way they did with rare earth elements. 

The US Chips Act injected $20 billion into Intel Chip-Fabs and more to accommodate the enormous surge of work from home & school from home online video stream & video conferencing & online gaming & e-sports & content streaming from Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, TikTok & other social media platforms like Twitter. I am talking about a whole new generation of YouTubers who make their income making popular & trending videos that millions of people watch. 

Its a brave new world we are forging with the emergent 4th Industrial Revolution of deep automation, greatly enhanced robots, self driving vehicle technology development & applications, new software as a service & subscription services of all kinds, all digital online only business without a physical location with employees that can work while living nearly anywhere in the world as long as they have laptop access to high speed internet or broadband access with good data upload & download speeds so they can watch Netflix or Hulu or Disney or whatever floats their boat with entertainment during downtime as they unwind in the evening or during vacation or time off. The haves working smarter easier jobs as the growing income inequality gap creates a world of have's or have nots. I am talking about common fiat currencies today being abolished & replaced with digital currencies & crypto-currencies. Bio-gasoline, biogas, cellulosic ethanol, biodiesel, DME, bio-butane, bio-methanol & other cool 3rd generation biofuels that will be sold at common fuel stations or gas stations in the future. 

We are talking about new inverter microwaves sold by the billion. EV's with Na-Ion or sodium ion batteries. 6G mobile networks & smartphones from 2030 with nano-LED screen technology that's superior to the best Super AMOLED + Ultra of today & just down the road. I am talking about energy efficient air source heat pumps replacing nearly all other HVAC & heater & cooler technology's with a COP of 3-7 able to use one unit of electricity to move 5+ units of heat for warming or cooling. Think magnetic fridges that use 100X less electricity to keep your foods cold in your RV, apartment, condo or single family residential home. I am talking about wearable technology such as smart clothes, smart shoes, smart jewelry like the Gen 3 Oura smart-ring today or the Apple Watch 8 or Samsung Gear 6. There are all sorts of cool new electronic gadgets just on the horizon that will sell by the millions! 

I want to drive my 2019 Nissan LEAF SV until the wheels fall off, after 3 battery upgrades from accident damages future models where I work with others to harvest & install the recovered battery packs from much newer model year EV's where the battery was not damaged, to get a newer pack in really good shape with 62 kWh or 100kWh capacity & a way to hook it up to the old battery connectors on my 19 Nisan LEAF SV. Many people are upgrading 2011-2013 Nissan LEAF that sold with now faded 24kWh air cooled battery packs with the 40 kWh air cooled battery pack from the 2018-2023 MY Nissan LEAF SV's that are totaled out in accidents, where the battery was unharmed & able to be up cycled into the older LEAF that now has 200 mi + of range per charge :) More automotive shops or repair garaged are becoming familiar with common EV's like Nissan LEAF that Nissan has sold more than 500,000, or the most popular & best selling EV of today, the Tesla Model 3. 

Apple Silicon ditching Intel, Nvidia, going straight to TSMC as their largest customer, for next gen M3 chips & M3 Ultra, M4, M5, M6, M7 apple silicon! You can see the future models in your mind by just imagining the naming schemes, more cores, better performance, lower power, better cameras, longer battery life, faster charging, wireless charging, MagSafe & more :)
