Meanwhile, if the industry inserts EUV at 7nm, mask makers must contend with the complexities of EUV masks. For EUV, the sub‐resolution assist feature (SRAF) sizes on the mask range from 32nm to 40nm, ...

For years, several photomask makers have been developing and shipping EUV masks. Today’s EUV masks are suitable for production at 7nm, but they are expensive with relatively low yields. “In any new ...

U.S. sanctions against China's SMIC haven't worked in the last 18 months as SMIC moves to the 7nm ... If we look at Chart 3 below, using immersion DUV (ArF-1) at the 20nm node there are 13 mask ...

In a significant milestone for the semiconductor industry, Samsung today announced that it is now manufacturing 7LPP chips: processors based on extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) and a 7 ...

Eventually, the conventional ways of manufacturing silicon chips will run out of steam. According to Intel researchers speaking at the ISSCC conference this week, however, we still have headroom.

Geneva, Switzerland, June 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- By addressing IR Drop at sub-7nm nodes, the solution can significantly boost wafer yields, potentially saving manufacturers millions in ...

The group came under Renduchintala's watch in 2018, and since 2018, 7nm has been continually described as "on track." With Renduchintala gone, TSCG will be split into five parts and given to other ...

Buying a 7nm Ryzen CPU may sound better than buying a 14nm Intel chip, but if benchmarks show Intel holding its own, the process node is irrelevant.

Silicon is expected in 2022, built on a 7nm process. The new platform will tap the SiFive P550, a newly-announced CPU core that represents the highest-performance RISC-V CPU yet announced.

Forget about "SuperFin Enhanced," the previous name for the node powering Intel's upcoming 10nm Alder Lake processors. Now, that node is just called "Intel 7," according to the company's revised ...
