Nvidia's GPUs fly out of the fabs and right back into them

Let's use AI to make better chips for AI, what could go wrong?

Like salmon returning to their ancestral waters, Nvidia's GPUs make their way back into chip factories.

Of course, fabs are packed with electronics so chips of all kinds return to the roost in a way. But it's interesting to see GPUs accelerating this part of the manufacturing process. As we shrink transistor gates, helping us pack more of them into our processors, computational lithography is needed – as is the case for several years – to produce die photomasks capable of etching the gates' ever-smaller features into silicon.

For computation lithography, the process is fairly straightforward. Most chips are etched into silicon by projecting specific wavelengths of light — often in the extreme ultraviolet part of the spectrum — through a photomask. To produce smaller and smaller transistors on silicon dies, engineers have had to get creative to prevent, for one thing, distortion from blurring the features.
