In the media: EUV lithography

The extreme ultraviolet radiation (EUV) for wafer exposure is undoubtedly the topic of the future in the chip industry. No wonder, then, that not only the specialized journals, but also the general press regularly devote themselves to this topic and closely follow the development of the technology. You will find a compilation of some national and international highlight articles on this page.

Die Schwaben spielen eine entscheidende Rolle im globalen Chipgeschäft

Dieser Bericht des Handelsblatts ist anlässlich der im Mai 2019 veranstalteten, gemeinsamen Pressereise von TRUMPF, Zeiss und ASML entstanden. Die Autoren beleuchten die Zusammenarbeit der Partner, zeichnen die Entwicklung von EUV nach und geben mit Zitaten, unter anderem von Peter Leibinger, Chief Technologie Officer bei TRUMPF, Einblicke in das Potenzial der Zukunftstechnologie.

ASML's EUV systems pattern new Samsung and TSMC chips

Die News auf optics.org berichtet, dass trotz zunehmender, makroökonomischer Unsicherheiten die Nachfrage nach Lithografiesystemen von ASML konstant bleibt. Schlüsselkunden wie Samsung und TSMC geben ihre Pläne für den Einsatz von EUV-Systemen in der zukünftigen Produktion von Chips bekannt. Diese werden für neue Anwendungen in den Bereichen 5G, künstliche Intelligenz, Hochleistungsrechnen und Automotive dringend gebraucht – wie Charlie Bae von Samsung schon lange vorhergesagt hat.

Samsung's 5-nm EUV process technology is ready

In this Golem.de article, author Marc Sauter reports that Samsung Foundry has completed  development on the 5-nm process technology with extreme ultra-violet radiation (EUV), and will be accepting customer orders immediately. This new process allows a 25% increase in transistor density, while the chips exhibit a power input that is 20% lower, and a processing power that is 10% higher.
