Intel processes over 1M High-NA EUV wafers, outpacing industry combined · 1 source tracked

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Intel has achieved a significant milestone by processing over one million High-NA EUV wafers, surpassing the combined efforts of the rest of the industry. This achievement, accomplished in under two and a half years, demonstrates Intel's advanced utilization of ASML's High-NA EUV scanners, including the faster EXE:5200B model. The company is also pioneering the development of larger 6x12-inch photomasks, which will enable full-field exposure without the need for stitching, thereby increasing production speed and reducing costs associated with current stitching methods.
