Intel adopts the latest lithography machine, TSMC will not follow up for the time being

Intel has used ASML's High NA EUV lithography machine in its 18A process, but TSMC is not in a hurry to adopt this expensive equipment. TSMC's senior vice president of business development and global sales, Zhang Xiaoqiang, said that although the High NA EUV capability is impressive, the equipment price exceeds 350 million euros. TSMC will continue to use standard EUV lithography machines for production.
