ASML establishes a new facility in Linkou, New Taipei City, deepening its strategic presence in Taiwan. This investment supports upcoming 2-nanometer processes and next-generation High-NA EUV lithography systems.
The move localizes critical capabilities closer to key customers, such as TSMC, bolstering supply chain resilience.
The new plant handles crucial services, including deep cleaning and precision calibration of complex EUV components like the collector mirror. This ensures higher utilization rates for advanced manufacturing nodes.
The relocation aligns with a broader trend of major European suppliers moving core operations to Taiwan to serve advanced chip fabs.
