Corning has introduced its new ultra-low expansion (ULE) material that is designed to withstand ever increasing power of upcoming Low-NA (Numerical Aperture) and High-NA EUV lithography systems. The newExtreme ULEmaterial is projected to be used for next-generation photomasks and lithography mirrors that will be used with next-generation fab tools. A key feature of the Extreme ULE material is its extremely low thermal expansion, which provides exceptional consistency for photomask use. In addition, its superior flatness helps to minimize “photomask waviness”, reducing unwanted variability in chip production....

The average market prices for DRAM and NAND chips increased for May, with the price for 8 GB DDR4 chips now at $2.10, going up by around 27% from $1.65 in April.

Elon Musk’sMemphis Supercluster recently went online, and with a hundred thousand liquid-cooled H100 GPUs onboard, this data center will undoubtedly eat up a lot of power. With each H100 GPUconsuming at least 700 watts, Musk’s AI data center will need upwards of 70 megawatts of power to run all 100,000 GPUs concurrently — and that’s before we add in all of the supporting servers, networking, and cooling equipment. Surprisingly, Musk uses 14 massive mobile generators to power the facility as he works out power supply agreements with local utilities....
