Intel: Breakthrough progress has been made in chip interconnection, and the inter-line capacitance has been reduced by 25%. Recently, Intel OEM announced a major breakthrough in on-chip interconnection technology. The latest subtractive Ruthenium interconnection technology of the company can reduce the inter-line capacitance by up to 25%, effectively improving the on-chip interconnection. According to reports, the subtractive ruthenium interconnection technology has achieved great progress in interconnection miniaturization by using ruthenium, a new, key and alternative metallization material, and using thin film resistivity and airgap. This process does not need an expensive photolithographic air gap exclusion zone around the via, and it can also avoid using a self-aligned via that is selectively etched. When the spacing is less than or equal to 25 nm, the air gap realized by reducing ruthenium interconnection technology can reduce the capacitance between lines by up to 25%, which can be used as a metallization scheme to replace copper damascene process in closely spaced layers. It is reported that this solution is expected to be applied in the future process nodes of Intel OEM.

The FBI director said that his resignation was the best way to avoid friction. Christopher Babers, the FBI director who decided to resign, explained his decision, saying that it was the best way to avoid further friction against the background of criticism from President-elect Trump who was seeking to appoint his cronies as the head of the intelligence department. The FBI quoted Lei as saying: "My purpose is to continue to focus on our mission-the irreplaceable work we do on behalf of Americans every day. I think this is the best way to avoid getting the FBI involved in more friction. " He added that the decision to resign was not easy for him.Prime Minister of Thailand: The third phase of relief funds will be distributed next year.Tsinghua University National Key Laboratory Base was established in Changping National Heavy Base at the end of the first phase. At present, Changping District is cooperating with Tsinghua University to build Tsinghua Nankou National Heavy Base, revitalizing the industrial remains of the "three major factories" in Nankou Town through urban renewal, and undertaking more than 14 national key laboratories in Tsinghua University. It is expected to be put into use in 2025, which will be the largest and most concentrated national key laboratory research base outside the main campus of Tsinghua University. Among them, two laboratories, Intelligent Green Vehicle and Transportation and New Power Operation and Control, will be completed and unveiled at the end of December this year. (Beijing Daily)
