A development has occurred that will change the rules of the semiconductor industry. A group of scientists from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology in Japan developed the technology used in the semiconductor industry. extreme ultraviolet lithography They made an important innovation in (EUV) technology. This situation therefore ensures that the production costs of semiconductors decrease smartphones are becoming cheaper can cause.

EUV technology for semiconductors indispensable just in case. Think about it this way; There are 30 billion transistors in the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 processor, and these transistors are connected together in ways thinner than a human hair. EUV made it possible to build these roads. However, this process was not at all simple and machines were capable of EUV $400 million It could be purchased for astonishing prices.

New technology is both cheap and energy saving

*On the left you can see the structure of the traditional EUV machine. On the right is the new EUV technology from Japanese scientists. The developed system has a very simple structure.

The new EUV technology, developed by Japanese scientists, is more effective than traditional machines. quite simple It has a structure. This reduces device costs. On the other hand; The energy consumption of the new technology is also quite low. Let’s make this a bit more concrete; costs of the machine with the new technology less than $100 million. Energy consumption has fallen from 1 megawatt to 100 kilowatts. So we are talking about an energy saving of 90 percent.

Although what we have explained so far is quite exciting, technology is in an early stage We must not forget the truth. So yes; This new technology could see smartphone prices drop, but don’t expect that to happen right away.
