Intel forges ahead to 7nm without the use of EUV lasers
2014-09-25 18:30:55| Extremetech
Intel's Mark Bohr has discussed options for taking the company to 10nm and below without adopting new, troubled lithography technology -- but will extreme ultraviolet manufacturing ever be ready for prime time?
7nm EUV Could Ease 10nm Squeeze
2014-09-16 18:49:15| Semiconductors - Topix.net
Stepper-maker ASML now concedes what most of its customers have been quietly saying for a while: Companies will make 10 nm chips using only traditional immersion lithography, not its long-delayed extreme ultraviolet systems. However, that will make the 10 nm node an unpopular one that is pressed to deliver lower costs per transistor.

IBM plows $3 billion into 7nm chip research and post-silicon computer technology
2014-07-10 13:41:22| Extremetech
IBM has announced that it's plowing $3 billion into two R&D programs that will hopefully make it the authority on 7-nanometer-and-beyond chip technologies. One R&D project will look at pushing conventional silicon chips as far as they will go (around 7nm), and the other will be tasked with finding new materials and techniques that can take us even further (quantum computing, carbon nanotubes, graphene, III-V). IBM also took the opportunity to remind everyone that it's already the biggest player in 7nm-and-beyond technology, with over 500 applicable patents (more than double the nearest competitor).
