Planned for commercial use in 2025, reports say TSMC has formed a 200-person research team to advance silicon photonics technology
Oct 05, 2023 pm 03:13 PM
According to news from this site on October 5, according to TrendForce, TSMC is currently cooperating with major customers such as NVIDIA and Broadcom to form a silicon photonics technology team with more than 200 researchers. It aims to complete the project in the second half of 2024 and It will be put into commercial use in 2025. According to reports, TSMC’s Compact Universal Photon Engine (COUPE) provides heterogeneous integration of photonic ICs (PICs) and electronic ICs (EICs), reducing energy consumption by 40% and is expected to significantly increase customers’ adoption willingness. PIDA CEO Luo Huaijia said that silicon photonics technology has always been an important focus in the optoelectronic field. Optoelectronic products are developing in the direction of being thin, compact, energy-saving, and power-saving. Silicon photonics and co-packaged optical components (CPO) have become new technologies in the industry. ,
It is reported that TSMC's advanced packaging customers are chasing orders significantly, and monthly production capacity is planned to increase by 120% next year
Nov 13, 2023 pm 12:29 PM
News from this site on November 13, according to Taiwan Economic Daily, TSMC’s CoWoS advanced packaging demand is about to explode. In addition to NVIDIA, which has confirmed expanded orders in October, heavyweight customers such as Apple, AMD, Broadcom, and Marvell have also recently pursued orders significantly. According to reports, TSMC is working hard to accelerate the expansion of CoWoS advanced packaging production capacity to meet the needs of the above-mentioned five major customers. Next year's monthly production capacity is expected to increase by about 20% from the original target to 35,000 pieces. Analysts said that TSMC's five major customers have placed large orders, which shows that artificial intelligence applications have become widely popular, and major manufacturers are interested in artificial intelligence chips. The demand has increased significantly. Inquiries on this site found that the current CoWoS advanced packaging technology is mainly divided into three types - CoWos-S
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.
It is reported that Zhuang Zishou will be stationed in the United States next month to promote the construction of TSMC's US factory: sprinting to put into production in 2025

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
