Samsung Electronics technical expert Park Chang-min announced at the 2026 NGL Conference that Samsung plans to introduce a major lithography technology innovation for its 1-nanometer process, which could enter mass production as early as 2030.

Separately, Samsung is accelerating development of high-NA EUV, the successor to current EUV technology.

According to reports, it is preparing to start mass production of SF1.4+ — an enhanced variant of the 1.4nm process — and its 1nm process in 2030.
