SAN JOSE, Calif. — The race is on to get the first chip made with extreme ultraviolet lithography out the foundry door.

Samsung said that it has taped out and is ramping multiple 7nm chips using EUV following a similar announcement earlier this month from its larger foundry rival, TSMC. Samsung also gave its supporting IP and EDA infrastructure a boost and detailed its packaging capabilities in an effort to catch up with TSMC’s ecosystem.

The South Korean giant also announced that it is sampling 256-GByte RDIMMs based on its 16-Gbit DRAM chips and plans for solid-state drives with embedded Xilinx FPGAs. But the 7nm news was the highlight of the event, a milestone fueled in part by its internal development of an EUV mask inspection system.
