TSMC accounts for half of the industry's EUV equipment installations, and 60% of wafer production-EEWORLD

Collect

According to foreign media reports, TSMC revealed a lot of information about the company at its recent annual technology seminar, especially about the future of its chip manufacturing business. This information includes new details about advanced process nodes such as N5, N4, N3 and N12e, which will power many devices in the next few years. However, TSMC also revealed its position in cutting-edge manufacturing strength.

According to a report by Dr. Ian Cutress, TSMC currently accounts for 50% of the industry's EUV (extreme ultraviolet) equipment installations. In addition, TSMC also claims that its EUV wafer production accounts for 60% of the industry's cumulative production.

TSMC's N7+ process is the company's first node to use EUV lithography, and the company's N5 process will further utilize EUV technology. In addition, any device beyond 5nm will rely extensively on EUV lithography. Currently, in addition to TSMC's N7+ and N5, Samsung also has its 7LPP process and is expected to utilize EUVL.

ASML is the only company that makes and sells EUV lithography equipment, and Cutress estimates that TSMC has purchased 30-35 machines from the company. It is estimated that ASML has sold about 70 machines this year and may reach 90 by the end of the year.

Recently, TSMC celebrated shipping more than 1 billion defect-free 7nm chips.
