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.
The 4 nm node is Samsung’s signature chip foundry manufacturing process with a yield of more than 70%. The company uses the process for the Exynos 2400 chipset, the brain of its flagship AI smartphone Galaxy S24 series.
