Semiconductors open a new niche for plasma researchers
This article describes a possible future niche for plasma researchers whose fusion program budgets have been slashed. The computer industry has a continuing need for chips with ever finer features, and semi-conductor makers are counting on improvements in a technique called plasma processing. Thousands of new technical and research jobs are likely to open in this area.
