Research abstract

The democratization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) catalyses an industrial revolution for next generation 3D heterogeneous integrated circuits (ICs) to create generative AI chips. Future demand remains boundless driven by innovations in every industrial sector becoming dependent on automation, AI and data science. Generative AI chips will be used in everything from robotics, data centers, connected cars, to medical technology and cryptocurrency. We propose to develop next generation Extreme Ultraviolet Photomasks on the International Space Station. These photomasks form the hardware blueprint of 3D heterogeneous integrated circuits used for generative AI chips. The ultimate goal of this work is to contribute to a semiconductor ecosystem on board the International Space Station, to create EUV photomasks, which due to the superior manufacturing environment will have superior performance on earth at the leading edge of the semiconductor industry.
