Chinese Firm SMEE Set To Launch 28nm Chipmaking Machine By Year End In A Boost To Beijing s Semiconductor SelfSufficiency Ambitions – Swarajya Mag

A lithography machine is a critical piece of equipment used in semiconductor manufacturing to create patterns on the silicon wafer. The lithography process involves transferring a pattern from a mask (also called a photomask or reticle) onto the wafer s surface using light. The lithography machine projects the pattern from the mask onto the wafer and defines the features of the integrated circuit.
