Why The World Relies On ASML For Machines That Print Chips
Переглядів 3,124,144
День томуIn a Dutch factory, there’s a revolutionary chipmaking machine the whole world has come to rely on. It takes months to assemble, and only one company in the world knows how: Advanced Semiconductor Materials Lithography.
CNBC got an exclusive tour inside ASML’s cleanrooms to see how these $200 million EUV systems print minuscule designs on advanced microchips using exploding molten tin, the flattest surface in the world, and light so narrow it’s absorbed by air.
Once ASML is done building and testing an EUV lithography machine, it’s so big that it needs to be disassembled and loaded on 20 trucks or three 747s for shipment. Only five customers can afford EUV machines, the biggest being TSMC, Samsung and Intel - and ASML export controls keep ASML from sending any to China.
Here’s a rare, inside look at how nearly 800 suppliers come together to create the technology required to print every advanced chip powering the digital world, from data centers to iPhones.

Why The World Relies On ASML For Machines That Print Chips
@JeroenBouwens 2 роки тому
The incredible level of accuracy these machines achieve cannot be overstated. Saying it's "like hitting a coin on earth from the moon with a laser" is a nice analogy and to get an idea of the engineering challenges involved, consider this: If your laser on the moon moves a microdegree (one-millionth of a degree), you will miss your coin by 10 meters. Not only do ASML's machines hit this coin, they do it over and over again, 24/7, millions of times a day, with people walking around, trucks driving by outside, changing temperatures etc. At that scale and level of accuracy EVERYTHING influences your machine. That is ASML's real technical achievement.

Worked in the semiconductor industry in silicon valley for 13 years before leaving in 2020. I remain convinced that chip manufacturing is by the far the greatest scientific achievement in terms of what humans are capable of building. It is just reality defying that we are able manufacture features that measures several tens of nanometers across (not one, not two -- but billions of them on a chip the size of your thumbnail, and millions of such chips) , and then have the whole thing do what we actually set out to do, consistently, that too! The semi industry is chock full of extremely intelligent people (absolute nerds) who are hard to find and don't come by that easily. Every day was extremely challenging and stressful , but very very rewarding because I got to address technical problems that only a few get the chance to solve.

Where does this all end? You can't keep getting smaller and so faster. There is a brick wall and not too far away where we reach a boundary for sure. What happens when reach the limits of what technology can do or offer you in terms of what you can actually build? I'm really interested in Quantum computing to answer big questions that no classical computer can ever achieve, predicting what molecules will do to develop new medicines, future farming with max efficiency, new materials, Climate Change modelling with staggering accuracy. It would change the world so enormously that if politicians truly understood; they would invest trillions just to get the ball rolling faster.

The reason that Zeiss was able to develop EUV technology at a time when competitors had abandoned the idea as unrealistic is that Zeiss is a company with a very devirced business - consumer optical products, industrial measurement and research technologies, medical technologies and chip lithography technologies.

That IC, the Intel 4004, could have fit nicely into a new physical architectural standard designed by the Navy (NAFI) to accommodate the pace of technological change. However, it was only a 4-bit slice of an Arithmetic Logic Unit in a 16-bit minicomputer that used about 60 similar cards. The technology was part of a rugged & cool running minicomputer that would soon be obsolete. Something the size of a microwave would soon shrink to the size of a postage stamp ==and eventually to a speck while covered with a protective layer of quartz.

ASML is incredible. But I think there are other aspects: The chips produced in this top machines are the heart of any computer - BUT you also need much simpler /rougher chips around the central - and these "old" chips / designs are a big part of the shortage. IMHO a significant part of the shortage is that the production of that "old" "low level design" chips - that are still necessary - was neglected. I think we are getting more into the dependency of China since they still do that "low level production" but nearly nobody else. I remember older times. Some around 2000 I visited a train workshop in my hometown. We talked about circuits (Anti slip system) I saw some 7407 on the table and told I have some im my box. He immediately wanted me to sell these. In the 70th I bought them vor 14DM each. While these chips were still massive used, nearly nobody produced it any more. For me strange: it seemed nobody was interested to simply run a line with the old designs for some time.
@ph11p3540 2 роки тому
Forgot to mention the shortage of neon used in some chip making processes such as 28 and 14 nanometer processes. It's used as a cleaning and decontamination gas. sadly half of the Neon comes out of Ukraine which has half it's manufacturing infrastructure destroyed. That leaves China at 40% and USA at 10% global market supply. We all understand the geopolitical complications of China as a source and that leaves only the US which is scrambling to trip it's neon production.

Old chips can be built with new machines you just need to spend engineering resources to port the designs. No one is doing this because it is cheaper to just build this old chips in old machines. Part of the reason of the shortage is that chip buyers cancel their orders for old chips so the chip makers upgraded their machines to newer machines. And when the buyers return to buy more old chips the old machines are no longer there. The chip buyers would now need to spend money to port their old chips so it can be built with new machines and they don't want to spend that money.
