ASML provides technical support to Japanese foundry Rapidus in Hokkaido
News from this site on September 27, according to Nikkei News, ASML, a large Dutch semiconductor manufacturing equipment manufacturer, will build a new technical support base in Hokkaido, Japan, by the second half of 2024.
It is reported that Japan's Rapidus Company is striving to mass-produce the most advanced semiconductors. ASML will provide Rapidus with assistance in factory construction and maintenance inspections, and will increase Japan's domestic personnel by 40% by around 2028 .
ASML is the world's leading manufacturer of lithography equipment and occupies a leading position in the key processes of semiconductor manufacturing. As the only manufacturer in the world that can produce extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machines, ASML is crucial to the mass production of equipment required for cutting-edge semiconductors with 5 to 7 nanometers. Therefore, for Japan's local semiconductor industry, ASML's support is indispensable
ASML will build a technical support base around Chitose City, Hokkaido,It will be built in Rapidus by about 50 technical personnel Install EUV lithography equipment on the semiconductor trial production line to provide assistance for factory construction and maintenance inspection.
According to reports, U.S. Applied Materials plans to increase its workforce in Japan by 60% in the next few years. In addition, the American Lam Research Company (Lam Research) is considering establishing a new facility in Hokkaido
Notes from this site: Rapidus was established in August 2022 by Toyota, Sony, NTT, NEC, SoftBank, and Denso Eight Japanese companies including Denso, KIOXIA and Mitsubishi UFJ Bank jointly invested 7.3 billion yen (currently about 358 million yuan) to establish the establishment. In addition, the Japanese government also provided 70 billion yen (currently about 3.437 billion yuan). RMB) subsidy as R&D budget. The company plans to install chip equipment and start trial production in December 2024, with the goal of mass production of 2nm chips within 4 years (2028 at the latest).

ASML CEO promises to deliver the first High-NA EUV lithography machine by the end of the year: it is about the same size as a truck and costs $300 million each
Sep 18, 2023 pm 12:49 PM
According to news from this website on September 6, ASML CEO Peter Wennink recently stated in an interview with Reuters that despite some obstacles from suppliers, the company will still deliver HighNAEUV machines before the end of this year in accordance with the previously set plan. ASML said that a high-numerical aperture EUV lithography (High-NAEUV) equipment is about the same size as a truck. Each equipment sells for more than 300 million U.S. dollars (note on this site: currently about 2.19 billion yuan), which can meet the needs of first-line chip manufacturing. According to the needs of manufacturers, smaller and better chips can be manufactured in the next ten years. Wennink said some suppliers were unable to improve the quantity and quality of components, resulting in minor delays, but overall these difficulties can be overcome.
ASML responds to DUV lithography machine export approval issues: only some models are restricted
Jul 01, 2023 pm 05:33 PM
According to news on July 1, according to the editor's understanding, ASML, the leader of lithography machines, recently responded to questions about the export approval of its DUV lithography machines and further clarified relevant regulations and timetables. According to ASML’s statement, the export control regulations only apply to some of the latest models of DUV lithography machines, especially TWINSCANNXT:2000i and its subsequent immersion lithography systems. EUV lithography machines have been restricted before, and the shipment of other types of lithography machines has not been controlled. ASML emphasized that this control regulation will officially take effect on September 1, and the company has actively submitted license applications to relevant departments to ensure the normal conduct of business. Therefore, DUV lithography machines shipped before September 1 will not be affected.
ASML CFO Dassen responded to doubts: High-NA EUV lithography is still the most economical choice in the future, and related orders are steadily increasing
Feb 02, 2024 pm 05:00 PM
According to news from this site on February 2, ASML Chief Financial Officer Roger Dassen recently accepted an interview with local Dutch media Bits&Chips. In the interview, Dassen responded to the doubts of the analysis agency SemiAnalysis, saying that High-NA (high numerical aperture) EUV (extreme ultraviolet light) lithography machines are still the most economical choice in the future. SemiAnalysis previously published an article arguing that High-NA lithography technology will use higher exposure doses, thereby significantly reducing wafer throughput per unit time. This means that compared to using the existing 0.33NA EUV lithography machine with multiple exposures, the introduction of High-NA will not bring cost advantages in the near future. Dassen recognizes
Who invented the lithography machine?
Oct 09, 2022 pm 02:04 PM
The lithography machine was invented by Frenchman Nicephore Niepce in 1822. At first, Nicephore Niepce discovered a mark that could be engraved on oil paper. When it appeared on the glass sheet, after a period of exposure, , the light-transparent part will become very hard, but the opaque part can be washed away with rosin and vegetable oil.
Samsung plans to invest 10 trillion won in semiconductor equipment and purchase ASML EUV lithography machines in large quantities
Nov 15, 2023 pm 12:33 PM
Samsung plans to increase the import of more ASML extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography equipment, according to a report from South Korea's Electronic News Today. Although the confidentiality clause in the contract did not disclose specific details, according to securities market news, this agreement will allow ASML to A total of 50 sets of equipment will be provided within five years. The unit price of each equipment is approximately 200 billion won (approximately 1.102 billion yuan), and the total value can reach 10 trillion won (approximately 55.1 billion yuan). It is currently unclear what the contract The product is an existing EUV lithography equipment or a next-generation "HighNAEUV" lithography equipment. However, the biggest problem with current EUV lithography equipment is limited output. According to officials, it is "more complex than satellite components" and can only be produced in very limited quantities each year. according to
