Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co on Wednesday showed its newest generation of chip manufacturing technology, saying it expects to be able to create ‌smaller, faster chips without requiring expensive new machines from ASML. TSMC, the global giant that makes chips for ‌Nvidia, Apple and Google, among many others, showed two improvements of chipmaking technology: One called A13, which will go into production in 2029 and ​likely be used for artificial intelligence chips, and one called N2U, a more affordable option that can be used to make chips for phones and laptops, as well as AI chips. For all of the technologies TSMC showed on Wednesday, it is planning to squeeze more gains out of its existing extreme-ultraviolet lithography (EUV) machines from Dutch supplier ASML, rather than move to a newer ‌generation of "high NA" EUV machines, which, at $400 ⁠million each, are roughly double the cost of the older machines.
