ASML is very different from TSMC, regarding sharing advancements in technology. ASML wants to get as many high skilled engineers as possible, and sharing how the EUV source and optics works is a great marketing strategy. However, try to find information about how the wafers and reticle move, metrology systems, temperature control, motion control... You'll find nothing, since this probably can get used by any other competitor.

And ASML can show some breakthroughs in technology, which is mostly the source of EUV. But of course you won't get any information about how it really works: the sensors, mechanical actuators and software. Even their suppliers are supposed to be secret (except the big ones, you can't hide that 1/3rd of the machine is made by trumpf). I am confident that their openess for "sharing" technology is just to get a lot of people to work in ASML. It doesn't really harm the company, since if the competitors want to know these stuff, they can get it somewhere else.

Another awesome video. One thing I’ve been wondering about is what happens to fabs when the leading edge customer move on to the next node? Presumably TSMC (and Samsung/Intel/Global Foundries) built huge capacity at 12/16/28nm. But those nodes are no longer good enough for products that need the leading edge. There’s always stuff that doesn’t need leading edge, but I always assumed that all those products were being made on old mature nodes where it would be cost prohibitive (with little economic benefit) to transition to newer process nodes. Also, what is the global demand situation for all those use cases beyond the leading edge? It seems like there would have to be pretty significant demand growth to absorb the entire manufacturing capacity of a new process node every every 2-3 years. We know the demand is there for leading edge, but what about older nodes. Specifically, as TSMC transitions to 3nm (primarily Apple to start) and more customers like AMD & nVidia move more production to 5nm, what happens to all of TSMC’s 7nm capacity if it’s no longer being used for GPU’s and desktop/laptop CPU’s? Who’s taking all that capacity?
@villageidiot81942 жыл бұрын

@excitedbox57052 жыл бұрын
They market those nodes to other customers. Apple got 5nm first but the year after AMD and Nvidia will use that node. Also makes sense because mobile chips are smaller and the yield for the much larger GPU and CPU chips will be better after the node is more mature. Flaws are usually calculated on a per area basis which is also why AMD chiplets gave them such an advantage, since a smaller chip has less chance of failure and if something goes wrong it is less to throw away. Older nodes are still useful for other chips though. Lots of analog and mixed signal ICs are made on larger nodes because you would burn through the traces with so much current otherwise. Keysight oscilloscope ASICs for example were being made on nodes over 100nm (130nm in the 4th gen Infiniivision) but now went with a 65nm node recently. The lower cost of using an ASIC also allows them to use the same chip in many product lines. You can buy a $1000 scope with the same chip as their $50,000 or $1 million scopes. The higher tier ones use multiple chips together, while the base models share 1 chip for multiple channels.

Like in the videos said a lot of nodes get upgraded those who weren't end up the with the stuff said from @Village also there are other manufactures who can't under 20 nm those are specialist in doing chips for other uses then computer.

They are not alone in regards to GaN HEMT technology but unique in their business model. TSMC realized that they didn't want to get involved in anything more than the semiconductor fab side of this emerging industry so they offer their GaN fab capabilities to a number of independent "fabless" companies who are looking after all other parts of the business. These fabless GaN companies include Navitas and GaN Systems as well as STMicroelectronics - however STM have also invested directly based on their acquisition of Exagan.

Technology is more fragile than ever and the semiconductor supply chain problems may be just a symptom that this complexity becoming too much to manage.
