The stock price of semiconductor lithography giant ASML has recovered from the impact of last week’s DeepSeek AI revelations, after the firm posted record-breaking sales revenues and CEO Christophe ...

As US restrictions continue getting tougher, Chinese researchers are coming up with innovative approaches to chip manufacturing.

4 have developed a soft-X-ray/EUV microscope in the water window that achieves sub-visible-light resolution. The microscope consists of a laser-plasma source and zone-plate optics to focus the ...

Research org Imec claims it has demonstrated the viability of ASML's next generation extreme UV technology for next generation chip manufacturing, showing off how it can create patterned ...

2 EUV lithography required unprecedented advances in fields like optics, material science and engineering. For example, ASML partnered with Carl Zeiss (OTCPK:CZMWF), a German optics company ...

There is also the question of how to generate EUV light. As mentioned above, the mirrors in the projection optics only reflect 72% of the incident EUV radiation at best. A typical projection lens ...

In January 2024, the Harbin Institute collaborated with the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics to enhance EUV light focusing and control. Other institutions, such as Tsinghua ...

ASML and Intel said this week that the latter had achieved a significant milestone with ASML's High-NA lithography system by turning on its light source and making the light reach resist on a ...

Samsung Electronics has reportedly launched a new EUV Task Force (TF) to enhance its extreme ultraviolet (EUV) technology and improve yields for advanced nodes like 3nm processes. In contrast ...

Nonetheless, we keep hearing about mask 3D effects here. What’s that about? Kasprowicz: In EUV, you have reflective optics. If you expose light perpendicular to a mirror, it’s going to come right back ...
