Background Beyond EUV: Blue-X explores sub-13.5nm lithography 24 June 2026 Paul van Gerven Editor at Bits&Chips Reading time: 4 minutes An international consortium is exploring whether semiconductor lithography can eventually move to an even shorter wavelength. For decades, semiconductor lithography has evolved according to a pattern: Engineers squeeze as much resolution as possible from a given

Li Auto announced details of its new Mach M100 chip, a self-developed 5nm chip focused on autonomous driving, on June 15. This development marks the latest entry among Chinese automakers into designing in-house chips as they compete on cost and smart-driving features.

SemiAnalysis has published the first teardown from its new in-house lab, focusing on the minimum local metal pitch on SMIC’s third-gen 7nm at 32.5nm.

Samsung Electronics has secured key technology for a 5nm-class magnetoresistive random-access memory cell, according to Korean financial daily Sedaily, moving ahead just four months after presenting what it described as the world's first 8nm-class MRAM at an international conference.

Samsung Electronics is pursuing a two-track foundry strategy, accelerating its 2nm push for future customers while asking partners to step up sales of its 5nm and 8nm processes to support near-term utilization, according to ZDNet Korea.
