Melting defects could lead to smaller, more powerful microchips (5/5/2008)

As microchips shrink, even tiny defects in the lines, dots and other shapes etched on them become major barriers to performance. Engineers have now found a way to literally melt away such defects, using a process that could dramatically improve chip quality without increasing fabrication cost. ...> Full Article
