TSMC Says ASML’s Most-Advanced Chip Machines Are Too Expensive

Live Mint  

-- ASML Holding NV’s new advanced chip machines have a daunting price tag, according to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., one of the Dutch company’s biggest clients. “The cost is very high,” TSMC Senior Vice President Kevin Zhang said at a technology symposium in Amsterdam on Tuesday, referring to ASML’s latest system known as high-NA extreme ultraviolet. “I like the high-NA EUV’s capability, but I don’t like the sticker price.” ASML’s new machine can imprint semiconductors with lines that are just 8 nanometers thick — 1.7 times smaller than the previous generation. Zhang said TSMC’s so-called A16 node technology, which is due in late 2026, won’t need to use ASML’s high-NA EUV machines and can continue to rely on TSMC’s older extreme ultraviolet equipment.
