(financial magazine)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. (Sina Technology)Daiwa Capital Market raised the target price of Tesla from $285 to $420.

On the morning of 12th local time, Zhongwu Qin, a famous Korean shooter, Olympic champion and member of parliament of the ruling National Power Party, expressed his support for the impeachment of President Yin Xiyue. At present, six members of parliament of the ruling party have publicly indicated that they will support the impeachment case of President Yin Xiyue. Earlier, South Korea's ruling National Power Party MP Kim Jae-sub announced on the 11th that he would vote in favor of the next presidential impeachment case, bringing the number of ruling party MPs in favor of impeaching President Yin Xiyue to five. South Korea's pan-opposition party has 192 seats in the National Assembly. If the impeachment motion is to be passed in the National Assembly, it needs to obtain at least two-thirds majority of the total 300 seats in the National Assembly, that is, 200 votes in favor. Therefore, the opposition party needs to win at least 8 ruling party members to vote in favor. (CCTV)
