The Birmingham spinout is entering the final stages of testing for its semiconductor technology.

Irresistible Materials (IM), a UK-based semiconductor technology spinout from University of Birmingham, announced on Wednesday that it is launching the final stages of testing for its product.

Founded in 2010, IM has developed a material that incorporates small molecules and is used to coat silicon chips before circuits are etched into them. The material is activated through exposure to extreme ultraviolet light that has a wavelength of 13.5 nanometres (nm).

Current manufacturing techniques rely on light with a wavelength of…
