How ASML, TSMC And Intel Dominate The Chip Market | CNBC Marathon

CNBC Marathon got an exclusive look at how the world makes the now all important processing chips at ASML, TSMC and Intel.
Tour inside ASML’s cleanrooms to see how these $200 million EUV systems print minuscule designs on advanced microchips using exploding molten tin, the flattest surface in the world, and light so narrow it’s absorbed by air.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company makes 24% of all the world's chips, and 92% of the most advanced ones found in today's iPhones, fighter jets and supercomputers. Now TSMC is building America's first 5-nanometer fabrication plant, hoping to reverse a decades-long trend of the U.S. losing chip manufacturing to Asia. CNBC got an exclusive tour of the $12 billion fab that will start production in 2024.
And for decades, Intel was the leading maker of the world’s most advanced chips. Intel’s history is interwoven with that of Silicon Valley, credited with the invention of RAM and microprocessors, the building blocks of modern computing. Now Intel has fallen behind. But its new CEO, Pat Gelsinger, has a bold plan to catch up to Samsung and TSMC by 2025, by building new chip fabrication plants in the U.S., Europe and Israel totaling more than $44 billion. CNBC got an exclusive tour at the fab expansion outside Portland, Oregon, that’s set to open early next year.
CNBC Marathon brings together the best of CNBC’s chip coverage and examines how this competitive, lucrative and vital industry is changing.

How ASML, TSMC And Intel Dominate The Chip Market | CNBC Marathon

I agree that many people are considering NVDA as the "Stock of the year." However, I'm curious about which stocks could potentially become the next META in terms of growth over the next decade. I've allocated $200k for investment, aiming to retire comfortably.

[@RebeccaSheer]

I think the next big thing will be A.I. For enduring growth akin to META, it's vital to avoid impulsive decisions driven by short-term fluctuations. Prioritize patience and a long-term perspective most importantly consider financial advisory for informed buying and selling decisions.

Electrical engineer here, let me tell y’all what a chip actually is. It’s a wafer of silicon that’s been doped with either boron for p-type semiconductor or phosphorus for n-type semiconductor. Putting a P-type and N-type right next to each other creates a PN junction (Metallurgical junction) there’s some very interesting physics that goes on here but to cut it short it only conducts current in 1 direction. This device is known as a diode, 2 diodes together is a transistor. So they will layer these semiconductors in such a way to make npn or pnp transistors and etch them with lithography. A transistor can basically act as a switch or an amplifier and can be voltage controlled or current controlled depending on the type of transistor (either bjt or fet)

[@J_a_s_o_n]

What?

[@maxheadrom3088]

@@J_a_s_o_n Exactly! I know what he's talking about and I guarantee: it would take a very long comment to explain it all. I'll try, then, to explain what the hell are those 7nm, 5nm, and super ultra violet light is about. To make these chips we need to create transistors on it. We do this by mixing some material to one region and another material to another region. To do that we coat the silicon disk (waffer) with a plastic that get brittle when light hits it. We then wash the waffer and add the material we want. We repeat the process for how many different regions we need. The machine used is like a reverse video projector (or, if you're older, a reverse slide projector): it gets a huge image source and projects it on a tine square on the surface of the waffer. To do that we need some special lenses and projectors. There's another problem: we want to get more transistors on the same small square because that saves us waffers and also allows for chips that consume less electricity. The smallest line (thinnest) used started to get so thin it got smaller than the wavelength of visible light - and that means we can't do it with visible light. People started using ultra-violet and x-ray to do that but that is not so easy! You know how 5GHz wifi doesn't go as far as 2.4GHz? 5GHz has smaller wavelength than 2.4GHz and that causes 5GHz radio signals from wifi to interact more with walls and doors. The kinds of frequency needed to make a 7nm chip are so high the light interacts even with the glass used to make the mirrors! These machines, for those reasons, are so complicated people don't even want to try and develop their own. Even Japan's governement gave up on their attempt. Japan ruled this market in the past, btw - so they were not starting from zero. I hope I managed to explain a few things that are important to understand the video.

[@drwho9437]

There are a lot of mistakes in these videos. Here are some. NASA rovers do not use "5 nm" chips. Space is very heritage focused and thus most ICs that fly in space are at least 20 nm parts, most are 250 nm or more. Processing power for space tends to lag about a decade behind commercial. There are no "5" or "3" or "7" nm features on these chips. The Intel naming scheme is more honest. These "nodes" are really about logic density increases. One "7 nm" part isn't the same as the others. Intel "10 nm" is closer first generation 7 nm TSMC/Samsung processes in terms of actual density. The "chip shortage" during the pandemic was across many sectors. Consumer products like XBOXes and GPUs for bitcoin mining used the more advanced nodes from TSMC. However automotive chip for things other than infotainment, and vision systems are generally 65 nm+ (when these nm number were actual gate lengths). With Micron's target reduction in memory the cyclical nature of the DRAM/FLASH business is showing the consumer market is no longer supply constrained. That actually means leading edge capacity is available. What is not available are things like digital isolators produced by companies like Texas Instruments, Analog Devices/Maxium. What is funny about the obsession of the financial reporting about chips is the crazy monolithic focus on digital processing. You need to build a radio for a phone. You need sensors, microphones, cameras. Without the interaction surface to the world which is analog you can do nothing interesting. That interface can be a keyboard or it can be a camera, but it is still not a "leading edge" chip. Don't have a leading edge CPU or GPU, your application runs a bit slower. Don't have a digital isolator you cannot make a car at all or a medical device. These things are the chip shortage that matters and the companies are over ordering having moved from just in time supply chains to inventory ones. Shortages for things like Neon from the war in Ukraine are important too. ASML didn't needed advanced chips to make their lithography tool they needed microcontroller and 20 nm FPGAs. Can Intel catch up in manufacturing? Yes. With the right people hired this can be done. The bigger problem for Intel is actually one of strategy they have really done poorly making choices of what to do outside of computer processors. With lots of half hearted efforts that are folded up and tossed. A pivot to primarily being a foundry that happens to have a successful processor business solves them needing to figure out the consumer and just needs to figure out physical science. They are actually good at that historically so they can get there. In the end the nodes are slowing and will stall out soon enough. Global Foundries didn't quit for no reason. What Intel is trying to do is get scale enough to complete with TSMC in volume. They are also trying to be more than a digital company by buying Tower I think...

EUV = Extreme UltraViolet (a very high-frequency wavelength of light = smaller details). The EUV machine is basically a photo-printer using ultraviolet light. And instead of printing 1 (b/w) layer or 3-layers (red, blue, green) of image, they print up to ~100 layers. 7:00 They use traditional ideas from silk screen printing to print really, really tiny pictures onto silicon. Often they print onto a layer of metal or silicon, then in a developer step the non-printed areas are etched away, often by simple acids which avoid the EUV-exposed areas (the EUV strengthens a material you want to keep). Then a new layer of metal or silicon is added and the process repeats. Sometimes instead of just printing & removing metal, they print, remove metal, then send hot "doping materials" through the printed picture to change properties of the silicon wafer below, making it a "better semiconductor", then they etch away the rest of the metal, and repeat. Starting in the 1960's, companies were literally using photographic enlargers to print integrated-circuit chips, in 5-10 steps, and making chips & printing photographs was not terribly different.

[@censoredyoutube4902]

@@zethloveless7238 Nope! Chip processing is way more complicated than just what one machine can do. It's not working as simple as you described. It involves a whole lot more sophisticated supply chain. For example, Japan is the one country dominating chemical supplies essential for chip processing. S. Korea was in a serious rift with Japan not long ago because Japan banned those critical chemicals from exporting to S. Korea. Also perhaps not many people know that why Samsung still can't surpass the dominance of TSMC on high-end chip manufacture even Samsung already started mass production of 3nm earlier than TSMC this year. Only insiders know that Samsung's 3nm production has high defective rates, said to be around only 30% of the produced chips usable. Samsung can't beat TSMC in terms of non-defective rates. That's why companies such as Apple, Nvidia , and even Intel outsourced the large chunks of business to TSMC which take up more than 90% of global market share in advanced chips.

chip making is a modern miracle, the mind boggling small scale of what they do is astounding, and to think when they put four transistor's into a chip package they thought that was cutting edge at one time, they put millions of them into one chip now ???

[@netgiant2592]

TSMC already has operational factories just outside of Oregon under its American subsidiary Wafertech for the past 25 years. However their growth and expansion has been stalled over the years due to the high cost of production and lack of a qualified job market for high end chip manufacturing. They’ve tried importing talent from Taiwan in the past with very little success. The cost of US made chip is typically around 50% higher than an identical chip made in Taiwan or China. Would love to see what adjustments they will make this time around to keep costs down in order to be competitive in the market. Although govt subsidies could help but I doubt it is a viable long term solution.

[@jamram9924]

There is supposed to be another TSMC factory in the Phoenix, AZ area.

[@bricklawson9745]

[@johndoh5182]

This is starting to change. Intel can make chips cheaper than outsourcing to TSMC, which is why they can now price their CPUs about the same as AMD, but Intel has a higher profit margin. Now, Intel is still on a 7nm node (not 10), or it's actually called "Intel 7" and they rebranded their naming because the transistor density is comparable to TSMC. There were a couple points made in this video that were wrong. Intel does outsource to TSMC and in fact they've done so for years. They're using TSMC to make the chips for Intel's new line of graphics cards. Intel doesn't outsource for their die for CPUs. They also use TSMC as a subcontractor, but there's no price advantage.

I would suggest the vertical integration is most important due to supply chain situation and geopolitical challenges. So, yes that is why it makes sense for Intel to spend the money. However, the supply chain and workforce challenges are probably underestimated and the timeline to produce 5 nm or better chips will likely take a year or two longer than expected by Intel.
