TSMC boosts global share of EUV lithography systems to 56% from 50%

TSMC has increased its share of global extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography systems from 50% to 56% between 2020 and 2023. This growth solidifies its position as a leader in semiconductor manufacturing. Each EUV system costs over $100 million, making them among the most expensive tools in the industry. TSMC has not disclosed the exact number of EUV systems it owns. The company is taking a cautious approach to adopting next-generation high-NA EUV technology. TSMC plans to evaluate new innovations based on their maturity, cost, and benefits before integrating them into production.
