Samsung seeing severe "shortages" (compared to competitors) in terms of the number of manufactured integrated circuits decided to invest in advanced process lithography. Millions of dollars that Samsung spent for the Dutch (ASML) tools NXE3400 EUV (Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography) are to ensure the Korean manufacturer significantly higher results in this regard. So far the leader in this field was the Taiwanese company TSMC, while Samsung was ranked fourth. Implementation of the 7-nm lithography process Koreans will produce not only smaller but are also more efficient systems, which at the same time are much more energy efficient. EUV (Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography) involves using ultraviolet rays with a wavelength of 13.5 nm. This process is much more accurate than the commonly used, but at the same time "operation" it is much more difficult. ASML, in turn, is among the leaders among companies that deal with the provision of photolithography systems for manufacturers of integrated circuits. It seems therefore that Samsung investing millions, he knows what he's doing. The new solution for their products to be introduced in the first half of 2017 years. We just have to wait for the effects of such solutions.
