Differing forecasts on 5nm EUV manufacturing process as Imec researchers uncover random defects
It’s been a lot of hard work, and there’s a lot more hard work to come. Today’s NXE 3400 systems are not meeting some road map conditions we desire, so there is still some uncertainty [at 7nm]. If we do not make productivity and availability improvements, we may only be able to use EUV for the most aggressive processors
