TSMC Hais tias Nws Yuav Muaj ASML Chipmaking Tool hauv 2024

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co cov thawj coj tau hais rau hnub Thursday lub ntiaj teb cov chipmaker loj tshaj plaws yuav muaj qhov txuas ntxiv ntawm ASML Holding NV cov cuab yeej chipmaking siab tshaj plaws hauv xyoo 2024.

Cov cuab yeej hu ua "high-NA EUV" tsim cov kab teeb ntawm cov teeb pom kev zoo uas tsim cov microscopic circuitry ntawm lub computer chips siv hauv xov tooj, laptops, tsheb thiab cov khoom siv txawj ntse xws li cov neeg hais lus ntse. EUV stands rau huab ultraviolet, lub wavelength ntawm lub teeb siv los ntawm ASML cov tshuab siab heev.

"TSMC yuav nqa high-NA EUV scanners nyob rau hauv 2024 los tsim cov kev cuam tshuam thiab cov qauv kev daws teeb meem uas xav tau rau cov neeg siv khoom los txhawb kev tsim kho tshiab," said YJ Mii, tus lwm thawj ntawm kev tshawb fawb & kev loj hlob, thaum TSMC's technology symposium hauv Silicon Valley.

Mii tsis tau hais tias thaum twg lub cuab yeej, tiam thib ob ntawm cov cuab yeej ultraviolet lithography rau kev ua cov chips me thiab sai dua, yuav siv rau ntau lawm. TSMC tus neeg sib tw Intel tau hais tias nws yuav siv cov tshuab hauv kev tsim khoom los ntawm 2025 thiab tias nws yuav yog thawj tus tau txais lub tshuab.

Raws li Intel nkag mus rau kev lag luam ntawm kev ua cov chips uas lwm lub tuam txhab tsim, nws yuav sib tw nrog TSMC rau cov neeg siv khoom.

Kevin Zhang, TSMC tus lwm thawj coj ntawm kev txhim kho kev lag luam, qhia meej tias TSMC yuav tsis npaj rau kev tsim khoom nrog cov cuab yeej high-NA EUV xyoo 2024 tab sis nws yuav siv feem ntau rau kev tshawb fawb nrog cov neeg koom tes.

"Qhov tseem ceeb ntawm TSMC muaj nyob rau hauv 2024 txhais tau hais tias lawv tau mus rau cov thev naus laus zis siab tshaj plaws sai dua," TechInsights 'chip economist Dan Hutcheson, uas nyob hauv lub rooj sib tham.

Hutcheson tau hais tias "High-NA EUV yog qhov kev hloov pauv loj tom ntej hauv kev siv thev naus laus zis uas yuav muab cov cuab yeej siv thev naus laus zis los ua tus thawj coj," Hutcheson tau hais.

Hnub Thursday, TSMC kuj tau muab cov ntsiab lus ntau ntxiv ntawm cov thev naus laus zis rau nws cov 2nm chips, uas nws tau hais tias tab tom taug qab rau kev ntim khoom hauv xyoo 2025. TSMC tau hais tias nws tau siv sijhawm 15 xyoo los tsim lub npe hu ua "nanosheet" transistor thev naus laus zis los txhim kho kev nrawm thiab lub zog siv hluav taws xob. thiab yuav siv nws thawj zaug hauv nws 2nm chips.
