AbakwaSamsung babe ngowokuqala ukusebenzisa izikena ze-EUV ekukhiqizeni ama-semiconductor, okwenzeka emuva ekwindla ka-2018. Kepha ukusetshenziswa okwandile ngempela kwezinqubo zobuchwepheshe okusekelwe ekuqageleni kwe-EUV kuyenzeka manje. Ikakhulukazi, Samsung indawo yokuqala emhlabeni enemigqa ye-EUV eyayihlelelwe ekuqaleni.
Muva nje, abakwaSamsung Electronics baqale ukukhiqizwa ngobuningi bama-semiconductors embonini ye-V1 e-Hwaseong, eRiphabhulikhi yaseKorea. Ibhizinisi laqala ukwakhiwa futhi wangena esigabeni sokukhiqiza umshayeli ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ezedlule. Manje imigqa yezitshalo i-V1 isiqalile ukukhiqiza ngobuningi imikhiqizo engu-7nm kanye ne-6nm isebenzisa i-ultra-hard ultraviolet (EUV) projection. Amakhasimende enkampani azoqala ukuthola ama-oda avela kulesi sikhungo esikhathini esingamaviki.
Isitshalo se-V1 kunamahlebezi okuthi okungenani sifake izikena ze-EUV eziyi-10. Intengo yale mishini yezimboni iyodwa idlula u-$1 billion, ingasaphathwa eyokunye. Ngaphambi kwalokhu, amanye amayunithi ezikena zebanga le-EUV ayesebenza embonini ye-Samsung S3. Ukukhiqizwa okusha kwe-V1 kanye nesitshalo se-S3 ekupheleni konyaka kuzovumela inkampani ukuthi iphindaphinde kathathu umthamo wayo wokukhiqiza wama-chips adinga izikena ze-EUV ukuze zicutshungulwe. Qaphela ukuthi lokhu kuzoba imikhiqizo enamazinga angu-7 nm namazinga aphansi ezobuchwepheshe. Ngokuzayo, imboni ye-V1 e-Hwaseong nayo izokwazi ukukhiqiza imikhiqizo engu-3nm.
Kanye nemigqa ye-V1, i-Samsung manje inenani lezisekelo eziyisithupha ze-semiconductor. Abahlanu kubo baseSouth Korea kanti oyedwa use-USA. Ungabona esithombeni esingenhla ukuthi yimaphi ama-substrates nokuthi yiziphi izinqubo zobuchwepheshe imigqa yalawa mabhizinisi ehlelelwe yona.
