Samsung has unveiled three new memory technologies: zHBM, zNAND-O, and BV-NAND, utilizing advanced wafer bonding techniques. zHBM aims for eight times the performance of HBM5, while zNAND-O places multiple NAND stacks atop logic dies. BV-NAND, Samsung's tenth-generation V-NAND, is closest to commercialization. Meanwhile, China is advancing its domestic lithography efforts, aiming for 7nm chip production by 2030 with DUV immersion machines, though EUV development remains a significant challenge. The country is also looking to boost DRAM output through CXMT, facing potential impacts from the MATCH Act. AI
