For A14(P) chips: TSMC erwartet erstes High-NA-EUV system nor diesen Monat

TSMC has not received any more messages in this month when the first High-NA-EUV system is installed in Empfang, but the automatic start of the device. After the calibration is done, it may happen that puzzle pieces are added, while a large machine is used, until it starts in 2025 than the start-up.

TSMC has placed media reports “under” 350 million euros on this legend. The Taiwanese Branch Newspaper DigiTimes In view of the TSMC that dies as one of the best, you can draw attention to the self-esteem of a certain time. Ohnehin is an example model of tests and tests, it was possible that many copies of the product were sold, but the product could not be made more accurate, while the series system would become the next step/overnight stem years later. Then of course goes to the price with a.

The TSMC with Intel and vermutlich for Samsung on High-NA as the latest evolution study of the EUV lithography has begun, it may take a long time. It is not that Intel and machines die in the typical TSMC way or lose their hints, but it is worth following TSMC’s technology chief Kevin Zhang, that is the technology magazine that now no longer performs.

Intel as a High-NA EUV origin, the current system will continue for years, will perform the high purchase price of 350 to 400 million US dollars for a High-NA EUV machine and a double round, so that it is likely that the bisherigen EUV system your rightful (the new Low-NA EUV scanner has been praised by ASML to do its job): The system could appear years in the future, because the years would be so bent, that the DUV scanner in the Einsatz would no longer work Sind, die for round 20 years bought. The help with the High-NA system is so focused that you can start like this when you activate EUV machines – to start a war that is not complicated. Zudem werd sich am Preis kaum and was tun. Anyway, the machines will no longer be used in the future. If the system now takes care of the critical layers, the wafers will continue to be processed in other machines, while the arguments for the system are strong.

TSMC said that it was time to develop the technology into series production. If Intel has laid the theoretical foundation, another set can first be one of the iron foundries of the foundry, which TSMC can no longer use. The first system was used for processing and processing, eventually the process of the A14 respectively the A14P and the natural A10 was lightened by it. The action plan of TSMC is from the year 2028 in the series production so good. The A16 project for the year 2027 did not go beyond the classic “Low-NA EUV” sets, the factory TSMC is equipped with Backside Power Delivery.
