Samsung plans to deploy ASML's high-NA EUV lithography machines starting at the 1-nanometer chip node, delaying their use for earlier nodes due to refinement challenges. This aligns with TSMC's similar delay, suggesting that high-NA EUV technology will be crucial for advanced chip production at the 1nm scale and beyond.

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

◆ The Wire takeaway

Samsung’s delay on adopting ASML’s high-NA EUV tools for sub-2nm chips shifts your timing for next-gen chip design and manufacturing investments. You need to recalibrate supply commitments and focus on interim tech like multi-patterning for now.
