The first photolithography machine developed by the Russians has been produced and is being tested.
Vasily Shpak, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, pointed out that this device can help the country ensure 350nm chip production. From Russia's perspective, although 350nm chip technology seems outdated compared to today's advanced chip technologies, it still has application value in many industries such as automobiles, energy and telecommunications. .
Photolithography is the technology that produces the most advanced chips today.
This means that Russia has had a breakthrough in independently developing semiconductor technology to reduce dependence on external technology and enhance the independence and competitiveness of the domestic industry.
Previously, businesses in Russia announced that they planned to achieve 65nm chip technology by 2026, then domestic 28nm chip production by 2027 and 14nm domestic chip production by 2030. That is a remarkable achievement for the development of advanced chip technology.
The Russians are aiming to create a photolithography machine better than ASML.
Another notable detail from Russia's Veliky Novgorod Strategic Development Agency is that the country's Institute of Applied Physics will surpass everyone's expectations and develop a lithographic printer that can produce 7nm chips by 2028, and can beat similar products from ASML.
