ASML should sell more of its machines to democratic countries except China to earn more money for its people. Selling machines to only 2-3 countries will not benefit ASML because USA will not give money to Netherlands instead selfish USA will take money out from Europe.

La litografía computacional es el foso de software de ASML del que pocos hablan.. Vender escáneres es el hardware, pero corregir y optimizar los patrones ópticos mediante algoritmos antes del grabado físico es lo que evita que las obleas acaben en la basura. En la era avanzada del silicio, el software de simulación física es tan crítico para los márgenes de TSMC como las ópticas de Zeiss.

Tin đồn ASML đưa máy EUV sang Trung Quốc bị chế giễu, hé lộ nút thắt lớn nhất ngành chip

John Olavarria2 months ago

The west has made enormous investments in the development of EUV machines for advanced chip production. When ASML multinational employees who have gained substantial design knowledge MOVE to CHINA there is an inherent TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER which significantly impacts the west; essentially transferring $billions to China. There must be a way to prevent this LOSS. This is the equivalent to TREASON.

Visiting China and trying to sell them your equipment is going to slap you in the face eventually. You just can't see it and I'm saddened that your company along with other semiconductor companies from the Netherlands and Europe are so stupid and so ignorant and so blind

I've got the math for more advanced chips. reach out. Achieved 235 generations of continuous quantum coherence by applying open-system thermodynamics to a 12-qubit register, establishing a self-predicting quantum organism. The system maintained stable information complexity by autonomously deploying real-time phase erasures, proving the feasibility of non-Markovian cellular automata on physical to serious conversations only.#UnifiedStateSystem #Homeostasis #ComplexSystems I built a new kind of system: Unified State Quantum CoreA self-regulating, multi-scale field that maintains long-term homeostasis through emergent operational time, active entropy clamping, and rhythmic feedback.After hundreds of recursive lifecycles:Shannon Entropy stays locked in a tight band (9.48–9.72 bits) with active stability correction Fractional field components (density, velocity, temperature) co-evolve without blowing up or collapsing Strong non-Markovian memory backbone This isn't just another simulation. It feels like a primitive homeostatic "proto-organism" in computational space.[Attach both plots — first one, then second one]Looking for the right partner to take this further. Could have serious implications for advanced control systems, complex dynamics, simulation tech, or beyond. NDA SIGNING A MUST BEFORE MAtHEMATIC FRAMEWORK IS SEEN.

When #ASML's reign of monopolistic terror over extreme-ultraviolet lithography finally ends, the world (this part of it) will breathe a collective sigh of relief. Single-firm control of the essential tools for advanced chips has distorted geopolitics and innovation long enough. In the meantime we will continue to deal with you aggressively with policy and 'diplomacy'. 🇺🇸

If $MU confirms tomorrow that DRAM, NAND and HBM tightness can last into 2027 or 2028 then memory companies have more reason to keep spending on capacity and advanced manufacturing tools. That matters for $ASML because it sits at the most important equipment layer of the semiconductor supply chain where more advanced memory capacity means more demand for lithography systems.

Before chip patterns are printed in volume production, they’re perfected in R&D. That’s when holistic lithography helps chipmakers model, measure and fine-tune the process so printed patterns match the intended design as closely as possible.

Chips are like tiny skyscrapers that can have more than 100 layers. The lowest, most critical layers form the transistors, while upper layers route power and signals. For chipmakers, choosing the right lithography for each layer is key to balancing precision and cost.

ACCELERATOR-BASED LITHOGRAPHY AND THE INDUCTION STORAGE RING LIGHT SOURCE The future of chipmaking may look less like a factory and more like a power grid. The proposed “Terafab” paradigm reimagines semiconductor manufacturing at utility scale: chip design, wafer fabrication, EUV lithography, memory, advanced packaging, and testing all under one roof, with the ambition of producing more than one terawatt of AI compute capacity per year. Its most radical innovation is treating light as a utility. Today, each EUV scanner relies on its own laser-produced plasma source, firing lasers at molten tin to generate 13.5 nm light. The process is inefficient, intensely hot, debris-heavy, and difficult to scale. Terafab replaces those individual sources with centralized, accelerator-driven free-electron lasers capable of distributing multi-kilowatt EUV light across an entire network of scanners. The advantages could be transformative: • No tin contamination or destructive plasma debris • Higher efficiency through electron-beam energy recovery • Greater photon flux to suppress stochastic defects at sub-3 nm nodes • Redundant accelerators that keep scanners operating during maintenance • Tunable wavelengths, potentially enabling 6.x nm “Beyond EUV” lithography THAT LAST POINT MATTERS ENORMOUSLY Conventional EUV is locked to the atomic emission of tin. Free-electron lasers are not. Their wavelength can be tuned through the energy of the electron beam creating a possible path beyond today’s 13.5 nm limit. If realized, Terafab would represent more than a larger semiconductor plant. It would transform lithography from a collection of isolated tools into shared industrial infrastructure. The next era of chipmaking may not be defined by a better machine. It may be defined by an entirely new architecture for manufacturing intelligence at civilization scale.

$ASML has become one of the clearest ways to invest in the global AI chip buildout because it controls one of the most important bottlenecks in semiconductor manufacturing. Its lithography systems act like ultra-precise printers that create the tiny circuit patterns used in advanced chips and ASML remains the only company producing EUV machines at scale. $TSM cannot manufacture $NVDA Blackwell or Rubin GPUs without those systems which means nearly every dollar flowing into advanced AI compute ultimately passes through ASML’s equipment.

Does anyone realize that if SpaceX pulls this off, Terafab would become the largest building ever constructed by floor area? More than 100 million square feet of manufacturing space, over 5x the floor area of the current largest building on Earth. I wanted to wait before reporting because news was coming out quite rapidly after the until announcement. SpaceX and Tesla are planning to invest roughly $16.8 billion in the initial buildout in Grimes County, Texas. It will manufacture, package and test advanced logic and memory chips under one roof because their combined demand is expected to exceed 1 terawatt of compute, more than the current global supply. The buildout is already so massive that ASML, (the only supplier of the most advanced EUV lithography machines) is factoring Terafab demand into its own 2027 and 2028 capacity plans. Elon’s rough estimate is that 25% of its AI compute output will go toward Tesla Optimus and the other 75% toward AI spacecraft. ASML has to plan years in advance for the sheer amount of chipmaking capacity Elon wants for robots and ‘ai spacecraft’
