  2.  @GoodCitizen-gm1tl  Even if EUV is purchased, advanced chips cannot be mass-produced with a high yield rate. EUV uses TSMC's wet technology and is developed at F12b, TSMC's Hsinchu headquarters. TSMC modified the purchased EUV and redesigned the reflective structure to increase the reflectivity from 2% to 3% and increase the efficiency by 50%. TSMC's dry EUV mask cleaning technology reduces exposure to dust particles from hundreds to single digits per 10,000 wafers, a 99% reduction in dust ratios. ASML's latest EUV light source output power is 350W, but TSMC has begun using its own improved 350W EUV in 2020.

  3. The material of silicon wafers, silicon, is the most abundant element on the earth. It is found in your yard. Taiwan does not need to import rare earths. You don’t even understand what a silicon wafer is.

  4. In 2002, two Japanese companies, Nikon and Canon, monopolized the world's photolithography machine market. At that time, ASML was still a tiny company, relying on orders from TSMC to survive. Intel established the EUV LCC Alliance to develop photolithography machines using American dry methods and seize American photolithography machine technology. Major manufacturers such as Motorola, AMD, and IBM are allowed to join the alliance, but TSMC is excluded. Subsequently, TSMC cooperated with ASML and used its immersion lithography technology to conduct research and development at F12B, the TSMC R&D headquarters located in Hsinchu Science Park, Taiwan. At that time, there were two EUV R&D units worldwide, but Intel's EUV LCC alliance failed. TSMC spent 1 million wafers for testing at the F12b factory and finally successfully created EUV for manufacturing advanced chips. Dr. Anthony Yen, Director of Nanoimaging Technology Development at TSMC, later served as Vice President of R&D at ASML https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECE/Alums/OECE/2018/anthony-yen

  5. In this case, why can't Intel and Samsung produce advanced chips? China has spent hundreds of billions of dollars and failed. You have no logic and should go to school. EUV is TSMC's technology.
