Samsung joins TSMC in delaying the use of ASML's High Numerical Aperture EUV lithography machines, postponing their deployment to 1-nanometer chip production expected around 2030, citing lack of refinement and cost concerns.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors, and 1 source has reported it.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Samsung’s delay in adopting ASML’s High NA EUV machines signals a postponed shift in chip production tech that raises costs and complexity now. If you build tools or supply materials for next-gen semiconductors, re-evaluate your timing and dependencies for 1nm node projects.
