### AI overview

A Fraunhofer-IMS partnership supplies specialized low-volume chips that control electron beams in multibeam systems used to write photomasks for advanced semiconductor manufacturing. The article describes why conventional foundries are not suited to this niche and how European research facilities aim to coordinate development, prototyping, and small-volume production for industrial customers.
