Taiwan Semiconductor will fully implement extreme ultraviolet lithography to make 5 nanometer chips and Samsung plans EUV at 7 nanometers

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), the world’s largest foundry, said it will fully implement extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography to make 5 nanometer chips by the end of this decade. “We estimate that EUV will be a cost-effective tool for high-volume manufacturing by 2020, in time for our 5nm ramp,” TSMC Co-CEO Mark Liu said..

awesome, smaller and faster computers! Love capitalism.
