TSMC Exec says ASML €350 million lithography tool is too expensive, no purchase planned

TSMC says it will not buy ASML’s High-NA EUV lithography tools for now.

The main reason is cost: each machine reportedly tops €350 million.

TSMC says its current EUV systems are still sufficient for production needs.

The decision matters because TSMC is ASML’s largest customer and a key test case for the new tool.
