Using Intel 14A (1.4-nm) technology, the Netherlands reported that the first serial lithographic browser Twinscan Exe: 5200 from ASML, which is the key to the production of chips. Message about this appeared Tweakers on the website.
Although Tweakers has a decrease in capital costs of 4 billion dollars this year, this year, the Dutch manufacturer will not affect the latest EUV equipment program with a high numerical diaphragm (high-na).
Although ASML has previously sent three Twinscan Exe browser: 5000, these models are designed only for research for research. The mass production of chips is possible only using Twinscan EXE browsers: 5200 and subsequent versions. Previously, it has been reported that TSMC will receive early examples of this equipment.
According to information from the Netherlands, Intel, Twinscan EXE components in the coming months: 5200 will begin to receive. This browser processes more than 185 silicone plates per hour and significantly exceeds the performance of the experimental model. Intel plans to launch chipset production using limited amounts of 14A technology next year.
ASML is waiting for the mass materials of high-NA EUV class equipment until 2028. The company also works on equipment with a higher numerical diaphragm (0.75), which is expected to appear in 2032.
Despite the high cost of each browser (hundreds of millions of dollars), according to the Dutch media, Intel does not want to save supply by realizing the critical importance of dominating advanced technologies to maintain its competitiveness.
