Man, I feel like this channel is sending me deeper into a microprocessor rabbit hole with each video. First I learn about all the crazy stuff on the bleeding edge that firms like TSMC are doing, then I find out that they can only do what they do because of lithography devices that ASML builds, and now I'm being taken to the next level learning that ASML can only build those ,machines by integrating devices from IMEC, Zeiss, etc. Now I'm wondering how deep this information hole goes?
If only people knew, they would understand how hard is to "just make a procesor or technology" and how well embargos are working as a penalty. Civilzation is dependent on just couple of companies :) and they are not Google, Amazon, Meta etc :)
There was a period of time IMEC was investigating direct maskless lithography from such companies as Mapper Lithography BV (Netherlands) and KLA corporation (REBL). When ASMLs lithography proved to be viable, mapper for example lost all market share. A sister company is all that remains of them, Mapper LLC (RU).
Mapper Lithography BV has been bought out by ASML. I found an article saying that they declared bankruptcy in 2018 and ASML is likely interested in the IP for inspection tools. The Russian subsidiary of Mapper was making MEMS and according to the same article was sold to Rusnano but continues to operate as an independent MEMS fab.
1:08 “A small district of about 6.6 million people” That small district is well over half the country of Belgium. Congratulations on your pronunciation of Leuven and prof. Van Overstraeten. It’s excellent (as are your videos in general btw)
It feels so weird seeing one of your videos about something I literally pass on the way to my campus. when I'm used to seeing videos about things half way across the world.
i realize theres nothing wrong with your use of "across" technically speaking... it just always makes me think of flat earthers... people usually say around the world, not across the world. again, its not technically incorrect to say across the world... its just far less common and is quickly becoming associated with flat earthers.
Penn State in University City does something similar. They provide IP licenses and rent space to businesses and pull in huge sums of money doing it. Back when I went there, they were about to build a 250 Million dollar Lab to expand their 40 million dollar lab. During a tour they told us they made over $10 million a year in licensing fees.
Different colleges across the US used to get a bit of govt. funding to go into R&D, and they worked with industry to develop technology. So, Penn State is one of many places this happens or used to happen, not so much the renting out of spaces, but the use of the college for R&D.
Nice video! imec is also a major silicon photonics center, both for research and as a foundry. Probably the most advanced academic SiP foundry with a MPW offering and directly competitive with leading industrial foundries.
I was hoping you would cover IMEC some day. Thank you! I pitched it to my wife who is working there here in Leuven. I told here to send it to the PR colleagues. ;)

I used to visit Leuven a couple of times every year over 10 years ago and still never heard colleagues talking about IMEC. Leuven is a beautiful little city with quite an interesting tech business cluster growing out of KU Leuven. Worth a quick day trip if you ever visit Brussels.
@@Asianometry And Leuven being a watering hole really gave me a chuckle: InBev has their massive Stella Artois brewery next to the train station, and on weekend evenings the pubs around the Oude Markt next to KU are filled with students chugging Duevel/Chimay/Leffe…
@@AsianometryMaybe someone from IMEC watching your channel can arrange an IMEC tour. Would certainly be interesting to have a video of that. Apart from that Leuven is worth a visit by itself, the variety of pubs, bars and beers is amazing. If you are ambitious you could even do a Europe tour, visiting ASML, as well as maybe Globalfoundries in Dresden, Germany or Carl Zeiss SMT
Perhaps the most interesting part of these videos to me is all the big names I've never heard of. I was somewhat aware of IMEC, but SkyWater and Tokyo Electron are new to me.
Osceola is pronounced Aw-See-Ole-Ah (it is actually rendered as Asi-yahola in creek). Many things in Florida are named after Chief Osceola, who was instrumental during the Second Seminole War, which resisted the US's efforts to forcibly relocate the tribe. Pronunciation of things like this have been used as shibboleths in the past; the fact that Walt Disney *could* correctly pronounce Kissimmee was how the US news media figured out that the Walt Disney Company was building Disney World in that area.
It should be noted that IMEC is not doing research only in semiconductor design and manufacturing, but also in the field of PCB manufacturing. The DfM rules for example that my company - an assembly house for PCBs- use in PCB development largely come from research that IMEC has done (and also IPC guidelines).
I think this is the first time you mentioned Canon and Nikon (usually thought of camera makers) in semi conductor area.. May be an in depth video on those two companies in order? 🤔

Love your content and will sign up for your Patreon! Yes, my dad and his company setup certain educational systems in Malay back in the early 2000s. It always struck me as odd that a Malay government would be even remotely interested in anything Anglo educational wise after the Rubber tree/Palm oil debacles and other negative Euro/Anglo issues. From what I recall they were a Muslim centric nation and even to this day fairly compartmentalized socially for instance although Muslim's don't eat pork the Chinese do and so you can eat pork in Malaysia although Muslim centric. The Malay men didn't do much it was the Malay women who educated themselves and wanted something better for themselves and their children. The Chinese were the smart ones, business owners who sent their kids off to be educated in Europe or America. It's a pity worldwide that wages are the "same as the workers grandfathers in 1975." Time to move into the 21st century. If you can't afford to pay your workers a relevant living wage, then you shouldn't have a business.
I spend quite some time there both in the 200mm and 300mm fabs during my career in AMAT. Interesting company. Do they still sell wine in the cafeteria? 😋
€62m was peanuts for it's return. Other countries would write a blank cheque to attract them to relocate now. We have nothing comparable to this. Shows what foresight is needed and cash
My grandma lives close to the IMEC tower. You can see her apartment in the top left of the final picture 😁 I've done a collaboration with IMEC for AI research, but I get the impression their business model doesn't really work for software. The European Patent Convention explicitly states that software is not patentable, so they basically don't have much more input than what you can find online. Love your channel Jon! ♥️
In the US, govt. funding used to be combined with business funding and college based R&D for different technology. The US used to be a leader in HARDWARE technology. Now? Look pretty much anywhere else. And because the country can't even agree because of stupid politics, which is why govt. funding dried up, on a basic curriculum to ensure people are getting a good enough education such as Common Core to enter highly technical education, engineers are coming from mostly other countries. Even the US's successful hardware companies have to rely on engineers from around the world. To some degree they always have but now engineers are overwhelmingly from other countries. Intel does a lot of development in Israel for instance. I guess they found that so many of their engineers were coming from Israel it made more sense to build a fab along with R&D there.
US still going strong in the biotech / pharma sector as far as govt/college funding is concerned. Ever heard of NIH, Broad Institute etc? The reality is that US companies realized that it's very difficult to make money with hardware. Way easier with software and that is a consequence of a legal pecularity: instead of selling software outright you can (and everybody does) just license it for use, retain all ownership and control of the software. That gives you way more control over the customer. Whereas with hardware the minute you delivered it the customer has full ownership and control. Only Apple has figured out how to make money with hardware and that was by combining it with software and removing control of the hardware from users. That way Apple can get a 30% cut of EVERY monetary transaction on their phones for example. Imagine you manufacture cash registers and get 30% of revenue from every transaction. Back to biotech and pharma - you now realize that those sectors are likewise very well protected and developed in terms of IP and licensing and that makes it easier to defend and more money can be made and therefore flows into that sector.
@Ben Dover Well... if they actually HAD collaborated rather than trying to continue the Soviet Union without the Union part things might have gone differently. And once Vladboi is no longer the presitator who knows if Russia can become a collaborator on the global scene.

Flanders is not a "small district" of Belgium but the (dutch) *half of the country* ... I must say that your info about European issues is sometimes a bit strange.
To build an advanced car, you cooperate with many companies. For example, Toyota would provide wheels, Honda would provide a steering wheel, Mercedes would provide a cigarette lighter, rooftop would come from Kia, seats from someone else, pedals instead of an engine, and windshield wipers from Taiwan. You put all those pieces together, then share results with all who collaborate, and they get all the data directly from the IMEC dumpster. What a stupid idea!
its pronounced "stəˈkastik"... i realize english sucks as a language, what with how many words break from basically all rules or conventions... but it couldnt hurt to look up how a word is pronounced when you arent sure. i realize its not a big deal, and it doesnt imply a lack of intelligence, its just a pet peeve of mine. i'm aware it usually means someone is actually well read and simply doesnt have anyone else to discuss the topic with so they dont hear the word spoken out loud, and stochastic isnt a super common word to use in everyday conversation... its just kinda funny hearing it pronounced the way it was here.
Having spoken English since I was born, and having been around the world watching people try to talk in very technical ways and seeing just how many words they're saying that are English words, I think I'm glad I learned English. Really dude you didn't have to be a prick with that comment. We don't need people bashing each others' languages here.
Stochastic comes from Greek "stokhastikos", so as a non-native english speaker i tend to think of it as "stokhastic", and probably so do people of other languages that allow 'kh': I think it is genuinely more understandable being approximated as 'k' than a 'tsh' sound. It's Greek chi χ, "stoxastic" like in Mexico, not Xiaomi. Edit: This is also true for other Greek-derived sciency words, like machine, chaos, and chromatic, so I guess next video you are obligated to say something like "khemistry" or "tshromatic abberation".

The organization known as imec, sorry, ˙ ımec.
This is proof that for-profit endeavors(ie. capitalism) is not the only way to improve technology.
1:55 my God what a stupid building architecture.
I pronounce the word 'stochastic' differently.
Flanders is not a "small district" of Belgium but the (dutch) *half of the country* ...
I must say that your info about European issues is sometimes a bit strange.
Lel.. My older brother is doing a PhD at imec

You really want those subs, huh?
Almost all the information here is in favor of the argument of the Japanese lithography companies lol
Cope
To build an advanced car, you cooperate with many companies. For example, Toyota would provide wheels, Honda would provide a steering wheel, Mercedes would provide a cigarette lighter, rooftop would come from Kia, seats from someone else, pedals instead of an engine, and windshield wipers from Taiwan. You put all those pieces together, then share results with all who collaborate, and they get all the data directly from the IMEC dumpster. What a stupid idea!
It's an extremely well engineered lighter.
Stochastic is pronounced 'sto-kas-tik'. Funny how a foreign trained speaker has so many mispronounced English words in multiple presentations. 😟
its pronounced "stəˈkastik"... i realize english sucks as a language, what with how many words break from basically all rules or conventions... but it couldnt hurt to look up how a word is pronounced when you arent sure.
i realize its not a big deal, and it doesnt imply a lack of intelligence, its just a pet peeve of mine. i'm aware it usually means someone is actually well read and simply doesnt have anyone else to discuss the topic with so they dont hear the word spoken out loud, and stochastic isnt a super common word to use in everyday conversation... its just kinda funny hearing it pronounced the way it was here.
I looked it up. I think I prefer my pronunciation. Who says I can’t use it?
Having spoken English since I was born, and having been around the world watching people try to talk in very technical ways and seeing just how many words they're saying that are English words, I think I'm glad I learned English.
Really dude you didn't have to be a prick with that comment. We don't need people bashing each others' languages here.
Stochastic comes from Greek "stokhastikos", so as a non-native english speaker i tend to think of it as "stokhastic", and probably so do people of other languages that allow 'kh': I think it is genuinely more understandable being approximated as 'k' than a 'tsh' sound.
It's Greek chi χ, "stoxastic" like in Mexico, not Xiaomi.
Edit: This is also true for other Greek-derived sciency words, like machine, chaos, and chromatic, so I guess next video you are obligated to say something like "khemistry" or "tshromatic abberation".
Please pronounce 'processes' correctly. Not seas, more like sez.
Deal with it
I use both pronunciations interchangeably (American English)
Don't poke the bear or he will release the DRAM.
9:36 it's a hard "ch" in "stochastic" (stə-ˈka-stik)
10:30 it's a soft "c" in "Osceola"
