As such, Fab 42 has been geared up for 10 nm fabrication, looking to increase output capacity to sate demand of Intel's current edge process; this places Fab 42 as Intel's third operational fab with 10 nm output (alongside its Israel and Oregon plants). Whether Intel's Fab 42 has an easy modernization path towards 7 nm production or not is uncertain - 7 nm, as Intel announces it, features both DUV (Deep UltraViolet) and EUV (Extreme UltraViolet) fabrication technologies, with EUV lacking from the current 10 nm technology.
