On April 23, TSMC showcased its latest generation of chip manufacturing technologies, stating that it expects to produce smaller, faster chips without relying on ASML's expensive new machines. TSMC, which manufactures chips for numerous companies including Nvidia, Apple, and Google, demonstrated two improvements to its chip manufacturing technologies: one called A13, slated for production in 2029 and potentially used in AI chips; and the other called N2U, a more economical option for manufacturing chips for mobile phones, laptops, and AI devices. For all the technologies TSMC showcased on Wednesday, the company plans to leverage the potential of its existing extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machines from its Dutch supplier ASML, rather than moving to the next-generation high numerical aperture (High-NA) EUV machines, which cost up to $400 million each—approximately twice the cost of the older machines. Kevin Zhang, TSMC's Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President, stated, "I think this is where our R&D department has done a really good job of utilizing existing EUV technology while setting an aggressive technology miniaturization roadmap. That's definitely an advantage."
