    How Taiwan's Semiconductor Industry Won

    15:07How Taiwan's Semiconductor Industry Won
    • TSMC has continuously been at the forefront of process technology innovation. They went on to pioneer the mass production of 7nm and 5nm chips, used in cutting-edge devices such as Apple's iPhones, NVIDIA's GPUs, and AMD's processors. One of the most complex processes in semiconductor manufacturing is the use of extreme ultraviolet, EUV, lithography to produce chips at 5nm and below. EUV lithography is a technology that allows manufacturers to etch incredibly small circuits onto silicon wafers, enabling the creation of the world's most advanced semiconductors.
