Due to the strong sales of QLC enterprise-grade solid-state drives, Solidigm's Dalian wafer fab, a subsidiary of SK Hynix, will continue to use the FG (Floating Gate) NAND flash process and receive additional equipment investment to boost production capabilities.
In a significant breakthrough for the semiconductor industry, Japanese scientists have developed a less complex Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) scanner, which has the potential to significantly reduce the costs associated with chip development. This innovation is expected to make the process of creating advanced microchips more accessible and affordable, paving the way for a new era in chip manufacturing.
