ASML’s extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography tools have long been essential to advanced chip manufacturing, with foundries such as TSMC, Samsung, and Intel investing heavily to acquire them. Now, a U.S. startup is looking to challenge the Dutch company’s dominance — and ultimately seek to rep...

As China pushes to localize chipmaking amid U.S. export controls, developing domestic lithography tools has become a top priority — with ASML’s EUV and DUV systems at the center of its ambitions. Recently, China has reportedly intensified efforts to study the Dutch giant’s DUV machines. Accord...

EUV lithography has become the cornerstone of advanced chip manufacturing, and as the foundry race intensifies at ever-smaller nodes, major players are accelerating the development of related technologies. According to Nikkei XTECH, TSMC has significantly ramped up its patent filings in semiconducto...

According to Reuters, ASML warned of a sharp decline in demand from China in 2026, even as its third-quarter bookings exceeded market expectations. The report, citing CEO Christophe Fouquet, noted that while ASML does not expect its overall 2026 net sales to fall below 2025 levels, it foresees a sig...

As noted by Tom’s Hardware, TSMC, the world’s largest foundry, consumes about 9% of Taiwan’s total electricity. To help curb this demand, the company has collaborated with suppliers on the “EUV Dynamic Energy Saving Program.” A pilot run showed the initiative can cut an EUV tool’s annual...
