ASML (ASML) and Samsung Electronics announced an expanded strategic collaboration focused on High NA EUV lithography and next-generation semiconductor manufacturing technologies.
Samsung will join an industry initiative to develop a new 12‑inch photomask platform for High NA EUV, moving beyond the long‑used 6‑inch format. The transition to larger masks is expected to increase fab productivity, lower chipmaking costs and remove stitching constraints, enabling more cost‑effective leading‑edge chips. Leveraging its memory and foundry experience with advanced EUV, Samsung plans to work with partners to build the necessary mask technologies and infrastructure.
Samsung also plans to introduce ASML’s High NA EUV tools into future DRAM high‑volume manufacturing by 2028, which is expected to extend the DRAM scaling roadmap through improved resolution, process simplification and increased efficiency, supporting advanced memory and logic applications in the AI era.
ASML (ASML) has started construction of its second major industrial campus in the Brainport region at Brainport Industries Campus (BIC) North in Eindhoven.
The multi-phase project is planned to span about 350,000 square meters and could ultimately provide capacity for up to 20,000 workplaces, supporting ASML’s long-term growth and keeping key activities in the region. The first phase, expected to be completed in 2029, will house at least 3,000 employees, mainly teams relocating from existing locations, and will integrate production, logistics and office functions on one site.
A core feature will be ASML’s new flow factory for the TWINSCAN factory, an operating model designed to enable faster, more efficient and higher-scale module production and installation while maintaining quality, inspired by approaches used in automotive and aerospace industries.
ASML (ASML) and TSMC launched an industry-wide initiative to transition High NA EUV lithography from today’s 6‑inch to 12‑inch photomasks, announced on September 8, 2026.
The partners aim to establish a 12‑inch mask pilot line by 2031, enabling 12‑inch High NA lithography systems to support advanced node production by 2033. High NA EUV will initially ramp in production on 6‑inch masks, with larger masks expected to boost scanner productivity, reduce chipmaking costs and remove stitching constraints. TSMC intends to use ASML’s High NA technology in high‑volume manufacturing for advanced nodes from 2030, and expects more device layers to adopt High NA EUV as AI‑driven transistor complexity increases. Other High NA adopters and suppliers have expressed interest in joining.
