ASML is reportedly set to begin mass production of its next-generation extreme ultraviolet (EUV) equipment, the High-NA EUV system. The High-NA EUV system is expected to be applied to foundry (semiconductor contract manufacturing) processes at the 1-nanometer (nm, one-billionth of a meter) scale, sparking a fierce competition among foundry companies to develop 1-nanometer processes.
Dutch giant ASML announced that its latest machines are ready to produce smaller and more efficient integrated circuits. This represents a technological breakthrough for the semiconductor industry that could accelerate the development of artificial intelligence.
The US$400m machine that could redefine AI chip production in Asia
ASML’s High-NA EUV tools are production-ready. 500,000 wafers processed and 80% uptime. TSMC and Intel are named adopters, full manufacturing integration 2-3 years away. The machine that could determine who wins the AI chip production race has just been handed a green light. ASML, the Dutch company with a global monopoly on extreme ultraviolet lithography equipment, confirmed this week that its next-generation High-NA EUV tools have cleared the …
