Why? Europe already produces EUV lithography machines, and while I'm not that familiar with the field, I'm pretty sure ASML and TSMC are already working on 2nm

Why? Europe already produces EUV lithography machines, and while I'm not that familiar with the field, I'm pretty sure ASML and TSMC are already working on 2nm lithography.
- LoSboccacc 6y agoTSMC is aiming at 2024 for 2nm, they're the market leader and they reportedly started research back in 2019 https://wccftech.com/tsmc-2nm-research-taiwan/ https://wccftech.com/tsmc-2nm-research-taiwan/ https://wccftech.com/ssmc-mass-produce-2nm-2024/ https://wccftech.com/ssmc-mass-produce-2nm-2024/ now a consortium of runner ups not only hopes to catch up, but plans a parallel release of a new node size, while starting later, while starting with less know how.
