Samsung Electronics is ramping up its initiative to localize the production of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) blank masks in South Korea. Teaming up with local partner S&S Tech, Samsung aims to achieve final quality certification by the latter half of 2025. This collaboration marks a significant step in South Korea’s broader effort to enhance self-reliance in the realm of next-generation semiconductor materials. By reducing dependence on external sources, this project could play a vital role in strengthening the country’s semiconductor industry.
