I-Samsung ithatha ngokupheleleyo inzuzo yayo yobuvulindlela kwi-semiconductor lithography isebenzisa iiskena ze-EUV. Njengoko i-TSMC ilungiselela ukuqalisa ukusebenzisa iiskena ze-13,5 nm ngoJuni, zilungelelanise ukuba zivelise iitshiphusi kwisizukulwana sesibini senkqubo ye-7 nm, i-Samsung intywila nzulu kwaye. ekugqityweni kophuhliso lwenkqubo yobugcisa kunye nemigangatho yoyilo lwe-5 nm. Ngaphezu koko, isigebenga saseMzantsi Korea sibhengeze ukuqala kokwamkela iiodolo zokuveliswa kwezisombululo ze-5-nm zokuvelisa kwii-wafers zoyilo oluninzi. Oku kuthetha ukuba i-Samsung ikulungele ukwamkela uyilo lwe-chip yedijithali kunye nemigangatho ye-5 nm kwaye ivelise iibhetshi zomqhubi we-5 nm silicon.
Ukunceda inkampani ukuba ihambe ngokukhawuleza ekuboneleleni ngetekhnoloji yenkqubo ye-7nm kunye ne-EUV ukuvelisa izisombululo ze-5nm kunye ne-EUV yayiyinyani yokuba i-Samsung igcine ukusebenzisana phakathi kwezinto zoyilo (IP), izixhobo zoyilo, kunye nezixhobo zokuhlola. Phakathi kwezinye izinto, oku kuthetha ukuba abathengi benkampani baya kugcina imali ekuthengeni izixhobo zokuyila, ukuvavanya kunye neebhloko ze-IP esele zenziwe. I-PDKs yoyilo, indlela yokusebenza (i-DM, iindlela zokuyila) kunye neqonga loyilo oluzenzekelayo lwe-EDA luye lwafumaneka njengenxalenye yophuhliso lweetshiphusi zemigangatho ye-Samsung ye-7-nm kunye ne-EUV kwikota yesine kulo nyaka uphelileyo. Zonke ezi zixhobo ziya kuqinisekisa uphuhliso lweeprojekthi zedijithali nakwiteknoloji yenkqubo ye-5 nm ene-FinFET transistors.
Xa kuthelekiswa nenkqubo ye-7nm usebenzisa i-EUV scanners, leyo yinkampani kunyaka ophelileyo, iteknoloji yenkqubo ye-5 nm iya kubonelela ngokunyuka kwe-25% kwimpumelelo yokusetyenziswa kwendawo ye-chip (i-Samsung iphephe iinkcazo ezithe ngqo malunga nokunciphisa ubungakanani bendawo ye-chip nge-25%, eshiya indawo yokuqhuba amanani). Kwakhona, ukutshintshela kwinkqubo ye-5-nm kuya kunciphisa ukusetyenziswa kwe-chip nge-20% okanye ukwandisa ukusebenza kwezisombululo nge-10%. Enye ibhonasi iya kuba kukuncitshiswa kwenani leefotomaski ezifunekayo kwimveliso ye-semiconductor.
Isamsung ivelisa iimveliso isebenzisa iskena se-EUV kwiplanti ye-S3 eHwaseong. Kwisiqingatha sesibini salo nyaka, inkampani iya kugqiba ukwakhiwa kwendawo entsha ecaleni kweFab S3, eya kuba ilungele ukuvelisa iitshiphusi kusetyenziswa iinkqubo ze-EUV kunyaka ozayo.
