Invest in the ASML 276 m euros of chips under contract development tools it less than cost-effective.
Coming just a few weeks after contract as well as Intel, ASML.
Will the machine to print the circuit pattern to the Netherlands company ASML chip.
How manufacturing costs soaring wafer to effectively control and said one of the biggest challenges faced by the industry, joint Executive Director Shang-Yi Chiang, TSMC.
Said would help cost to maintain long term in joint investment program check at ASML to develop the technologies of the future.
5% Intel Taiwan also get the investment company to invest EUR 838 m.
Wafer sizeCut to expect investment in research will help the development of equipment that can handle the size of the circular wafers chips increase of ASML from TSMC said.
There are chip maker in the world is 450 mm to size from the current 300 mm wafer size greatly.
Changes in the size of these wafers can cut more chips from them, will be result of significant cost savings for the chip maker.
"Historic transition to the next from a single wafer size die cost we delivers 30 to 40% reduction in today's standard large 450 to provide similar benefits from the wafer 300 mm expected shift to the mm wafer" said after signing a contract with the highest executive responsibility officer, company ASML Brian Krzanich, Intel's.
"We do this fast, faster, for our customers and shareholders of tremendous value you can get creating productivity.
At the same time, Intel and TSMC has said their investment ASML also help extreme ultraviolet lithography, printed circuit patterns for the rapid development of the new method of silicon substrate both.
Technology is considered by many analysts as the key to the reduction of the size of the chip.
