The company’s standard machines, which were first produced in 2013, have a 0.33NA (numerical aperture), while its High-NA machines have a 0.55NA. Rapidus said a pilot line will be established at ...

The machine, which took a decade to develop and is the most advanced lithography machine on the planet, costs as much as $400 million. The device, or tool, as they call it, is the size of a school ...

Xanadu Quantum Technologies has launched a project with Mitsubishi Chemical to develop quantum algorithms for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. The two companies said they hope to establish the ...

It launched its first machine for semiconductor lithography — which had been invented in a U.S. military lab in the 1950s — out of a leaky shed next to a Philips office building in Eindhoven ...

TSMC will receive its first ASML’s most advanced High NA EUV (High Numerical Aperture Extreme Ultraviolet) lithography machine by the end of 2024, according to Japanese media outlet Nikkei Asia. Each ...

Rapidus, a Japanese company targeting the mass production of 2nm chips, has announced the delivery of Japan's first extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machine, the NXE:3800E, which will be ...

ASML says its High-NA machine can crank out 185 wafers per hour, compared with 125 to 170 wafers on its previous NXE machines. The company says it plans to increase this output level to over 220 ...

China is also trying to build its own lithography tools. SMEE, a state-owned firm, is reportedly making progress on a machine capable of producing 28nm chips using DUV light.
