台積電(TSMC)提升 ASML 極紫外光(EUV)曝光機效率取得重大進展,2019 年以來,台積電以系統級最佳化及自研薄膜材料,使 EUV 生產晶圓產量增加 30 倍,同時電力消耗減少 24%。身為全球最大 EUV 用戶,台積電有約 200 台機台,2024~2025 年再新增 60 多台,支撐先進製程擴產需要。
台積電核心優勢來自硬體設備及材料供應鏈掌控力,甚至計畫改造一座200公釐工廠專門生產自研EUV薄膜,性能超過ASML原廠,展現台積電製程與材料整合實力。薄膜壽命增加四倍,單片晶圓產能提升4.5倍,瑕疵品大幅降低。
2019年首次於華為麒麟9000處理器導入EUV後,台積電控制全球超過42%~56%的EUV機台裝機量,且持續投資最佳化製程,包括曝光劑量微調、曝光材料改良及預測性維護,大幅提升每日機台利用率與生產效率。這些成果為即將量產的2奈米提供堅實基礎,持續鞏固台積電的全球半導體代工龍頭地位。
將來台積電聚焦新曝光材料與製程,並配合即將量產的高數值孔徑(High-NA)EUV系統,繼續引領產業革新。
