They are still using DUV for that. It will likely take at least a decade to develop EUV independently, which is needed for smaller process nodes.

- fullspectrumdev 2y agoSignificantly less time if they simply “acquire” the information needed via industrial espionage :)
- ein0p 2y agoNot with $140B in a country where literally everything is cheaper, and not when they know it can be done (and likely also have at least half the technical documentation). It won’t take a “decade”.
- Alpha3031 2y agoApparently they're working on a DUV 3nm process, which is a little insane if you think about it. Would certainly be interesting to see it working, if it does work.
- justinclift 2y agoEUV is the way that won from the R&D by the current leaders. It might not be the only way to get things to work, though clearly I have no real idea. :)
