Presumably, wouldn’t that still be an improvement in throughout? If a mask can be used to make N chips and time to make a mask is less than the time to laser equivalent chips, you have a win.
- rcxdude 3y agoPossibly, but masks are very expensive: a full set for a chip on 3nm photolithography reportedly costs >$40M. That's gotta do a lot of chips to not affect the cost of chips drastically. Maybe the masks for this process are cheaper, though?
