📢 Behold! #Imec has managed to conjure up some 20nm metal lines using EUV wizardry, which is clearly only for the chosen ones who understand what "High NA" even means. 🔍✨ Meanwhile, we mortals are still trying to figure out if "imecExpertise" is a legit word or just a desperate attempt to sound smart. 😂🔬

#ASML sets new #EUV chipmaking density record, proposes #HyperNA tools and radical EUV speed boosts
SML’s standard #LowNA EUV machines can print critical dimensions of 13.5nm, and the new #HighNA #EXE5200 EUV tool is designed to create even smaller transistors by printing #8nm features.
They also outlined a plan to reduce EUV chipmaking costs by radically boosting the speed of future ASML tools to 400 to 500 wafers per hour, more than double the current peak of 200 wph.
