Fraunhofer ISIT manufactures specialized semiconductor chips for IMS Nanofabrication's multibeam electron-beam systems, which write photomasks used in EUV lithography at 5 nm and below.

ASM International has introduced ASM Flowable Carbon, a PECVD Flowable Carbon film engineered for fill, planarization, and patterning in advanced logic and memory device scaling.

A joint team has created the first ultra-high-resolution stretchable quantum dot display that keeps its image sharp while stretching like skin. By chemically bonding quantum dots to an elastic polymer and stamping fine patterns via a new LIFT process, they reached 16,000 pixels per inch and 53,300 nits, far surpassing earlier stretchable devices, with stable operation at 65% elongation. The advance could accelerate commercial wearable displays and electronic skin.
