Apple declined to comment.

Samsung Electronics reportedly intends to use metal oxide resist in the Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) exposure process of new generation DRAM products. Metal oxide resist belongs to the new generation photoresist, with higher resolution than chemically amplified resist and better impedance performance in etching.
