TSMC abandons ASML, the era of EUV lithography machines is over!

TSMC has made a decision, the era of EUV lithography machines has passed The reason why TSMC can become the leader in process chips is that in addition to its technological leadership, the more important thing is the EUV lithography machine provided by ASML for TSMC. The most glorious period of TSMC was when TSMC first mass-produced the 7nm process. Later, TSMC used the EUV lithography machine to develop a 7nm process technology, which brought the technology of the EUV lithography machine to a higher level. Although the design cost of 7nm chips is as high as billions, chip manufacturers above 7nm have jumped into 5nm without considering the risk of investing billions at all. But just when 3nm technology is about to come out, the attitude of the entire industry has changed. Under normal circumstances, the manufacturing process of the 3nm process is the patent of major manufacturers, and TSMC has already made preparations for the 3nm process.“China Focus“ is a YouTube channel created to provide current events and pop culture headlines from you can get to know a more real China through my video. ｜ #ChineseNews #chips #ChinaFocus Thanks for your watching and subscribing.
