Intel expands California photomask production for advanced EUV chip tech

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Intel is expanding its photomask production capabilities at its Bowers Campus in Santa Clara, California. The company is constructing a new manufacturing and utility building to enhance its capacity for producing masks for both DUV and EUV layers, including advanced nodes like Intel 18A and 14A. This expansion aims to strengthen U.S. semiconductor manufacturing leadership and ensure a reliable supply of critical components for leading-edge process technologies, particularly for EUV layers which can degrade over time.
