B) SSMBEUV will allow you to use lenses, instead of mirrors,
NO it will require multilayer mirrors no matter the light source (LPP, DDP, SSMB) to steer the light-path which China already have experience of fabricating.

We are then missing the etching worktable.
The maglev wafer table is already developed by U-Precision and Tsinghua university.

I guess you maybe talking about the set of technologies that allow a lithography machine to match accurately and fast different layers of a chip. Overlay metrology.

Thank you for the clarifications.

The article says China is decades away from having a working commercial EUV machine. Is it right? Does not seem so, if you put the light source (SSM), the mirrors which China already has the experience in fabricating (I thought only Zeiss knew how to) and the maglev all together. Seems like a few years at most.

Every Western and vassal-origin prediction about China has been wrong since the founding of the CPC, across all media platforms and publications. I wouldn't give any thought to anything they say. I would wager $100 that China builds its own EUV litho before end of 2033.

ChineseCISPlyers_Omnivision_GalaxyCore_Smartsens_2023.png

Interesting look at the CIS market which is getting so lucrative now. Looks like the biggest 3 Chinese players are Omnivision, Galaxycore & Smartsens.

Omnivision is the most capable with its OV50H which is on Xiaomi 14 & possibly Honor/Huawei phones?

Looks like the other two are also going after smartphone markets

Does seem like Huawei phone growth will be a huge driver here.

Xiaomi is huge, so if its new 14 phones and redmi phones switch to Omnivision, that's huge. Same with other domestic OEMs

Over next 2 yrs, we could very easily have a OLED situation

There's a prototype 500W LPP device being assembled as we speak. Integration patents have already been published, that should tell you how far along things are.

Tianxin Micro(ASEL): Based on technological independence and forward research and development, it provides highly competitive high-end semiconductor epitaxial equipment​


Tianxin Micro was established in August 2019. It is a high-end equipment manufacturer and solution provider in the semiconductor field. It is committed to the R&D and manufacturing of key process equipment for the semiconductor front-end and provides highly competitive high-end equipment and solutions for the integrated circuit industry. High quality service.

At the beginning of its establishment, the company focused on epitaxial process equipment, which was difficult to develop and had high monomer value, and established an authoritative and experienced R&D team. It is reported that Tianxin Micro’s core team comes from well-known semiconductor equipment companies in the industry. They have more than 30 years of experience in product development and market launch. They have led the research and development and verification of a variety of front-end process equipment. In addition, more than 50% of the company’s employees have master’s degrees, PhD degree, and applied for more than 100 patents.

Since its establishment, Tianxin Micro has invested hundreds of millions of yuan in R&D. Its products are based on independent research and development and have complete intellectual property rights. The first product is front-end epitaxial equipment in IC manufacturing. It is widely used in power devices, advanced process logic chip foundry, 3D NAND storage products, MEMS and epitaxial wafer production and manufacturing. The performance of the products has reached the international advanced level, and some of them have reached the international advanced level. The core performance exceeds that of similar international products and is recognized by customers.

Among them, Tianxin Micro Epi RP 300 Compass HP is a decompression epitaxial equipment targeting advanced logic foundry and storage, as well as epitaxial process application requirements in power devices. It has advanced infrared heating control technology and heating module design, which can achieve The rapid rise and fall of temperature and precise control of the temperature field enable the system to have excellent process repeatability and equipment stability, thereby achieving good thickness uniformity, resistivity uniformity, zero slip lines and low defect density epitaxial layer growth. It can meet the requirements of process uniformity control, low crystal defects, low doping and strong controllability of particle density.

In August 2022, Tianxin Micro's first advanced process silicon-based epitaxial decompression equipment Epi RP 300 Compass HP was successfully launched and entered the leading domestic wafer foundry. This also marked the company's official transformation from productization to industrial application. In October 2023, Tianxin Micro reached a strategic partnership with Jinghe Integration, the third largest foundry company in China, to further promote cooperation in high-end front-end equipment and processes such as epitaxy.

Independent product innovation is the purpose of Tianxin Micro's development. In the future, the company will maintain a high level of R&D investment, attract global professional talents, accelerate the localization and industrial application of high-end semiconductor equipment, and provide customers with market competitive products and services. Collaborate with the innovative development of China’s semiconductor industry.
