TSMC, Samsung to Adopt ASML's High NA EUV Chipmaking Tools Amid AI Demand
Two of the world's largest chipmakers say they will use ASML's newest lithography machines as demand grows for smaller, more advanced semiconductors driven by artificial intelligence.
TSMC and Samsung have committed to adopting ASML's High NA EUV (extreme ultraviolet) lithography tools for advanced chipmaking, according to a report by CNBC.
The move comes as demand for smaller and more complex semiconductors continues to grow, driven in large part by the expansion of artificial intelligence technologies, the report said.
ASML, based in the Netherlands, is the world's leading supplier of lithography machines used to manufacture the most advanced computer chips. Its High NA EUV systems represent the company's newest generation of chipmaking equipment, designed to enable production of smaller and more densely packed transistors than previous tools.
TSMC, the Taiwan-based contract chipmaker, and Samsung, the South Korean electronics giant, are among the largest producers of advanced semiconductors globally, supplying chips used in a wide range of products including AI processors.
The report did not specify the timeline for deployment of the new tools or the financial terms of the commitments by either company.
