Any news on SMEE 28nm DUV? It is success or fail?
There is not success or failure in the technical development of SME but continuous improvement, there is success and failure in sales but that is up to the future, the machine has to reach the fab were is gonna be tested to meet the fab requirements.
I had read in a report that two lithography machines were shipped by SMEE, one to SMIC in 2020 and another to YTMC in 2021. So obvious that those machines are for testing and improvement.

It is rumored that if the Russian-Ukrainian war lasts for three months, the supply of TSMC's gas materials will be urgent​

According to Taiwanese media "Economic Daily", because Ukraine controls the key gas materials required for the semiconductor process, especially the laser source neon gas used in the process imaging equipment accounts for nearly 70% of the global supply, so It has caused major fabs to pay close attention to the key gases required for the semiconductor process, so as to avoid the war from affecting the related gas supply chain.

In this regard, TSMC, UMC, Nanya Ke and other fabs all stated that the company has recently increased the stock of these key gas materials, and at the same time increased suppliers from different sources, and will not be affected by the Russian-Ukrainian war in the short term. In addition, UMC has decided to take the lead in signing long-term contracts with gas suppliers to lock in volume and price to reduce potential risks in the Ukrainian-related gas material supply chain in the future.
