US engineering firm Applied Materials has announced its new pattern-shaping tool, the Centura Sculpta, which could significantly reduce the complexity and cost of chip production at the most advanced process nodes. This could have a major impact on China’s ability to keep up with the leading-edge semiconductor production technology. US sanctions already ban the export of EUV lithography tools to China, making it difficult for them to develop next-generation chips for high-tech industries.
