TSMCとASML、2031年のパイロットラインを目標とする12インチEUVフォトマスク構想を始動
台湾積体電路製造(TSMC)とASMLホールディングは9月8日、半導体業界を12インチ極端紫外線(EUV)フォトマスク規格へ移行させる業界共同構想を発表した。現在チップメーカーがHigh NA EUV装置に使用している6インチマスクを置き換えるものである。この移行はスキャナーの生産性向上、超大型チップにおけるスティッチング制約の解消、長期的な先端ノード製造コストの低減を狙いとしており、構想では2031年までのパイロットライン稼働と2033年までの12インチHigh NA生産を目標としている。TSMCは2030年からHigh NA EUVの採用を計画しており、12インチマスクは複雑なAIアーキテクチャを拡張するための複数年にわたるロードマップを提供する。ASMLにとって12インチ標準の確立はHigh NAスキャナー事業の長期的な経済性を確定させるもので、15%の売上拡大見通しを支える。一方TSMCにとっては、より大きな規格が最先端およびAI・HPC製造における支配的地位の維持に寄与する。10年にわたるロードマップには実行リスクが伴う。マスクブランクスや検査装置から自動搬送に至るまで、世界のサプライチェーン全体がゼロから設備を再構築する必要があるためだ。またTSMCはN2の立ち上げと海外工場拡張による短期的な粗利益率の希薄化に直面し、ASMLは2025年後半の粗利益率圧力と2026年を通じた地政学的な成長の不確実性に対処することになる。

台湾積体電路製造(TSMC)は、次世代のA14プロセス技術について、量産開始をはるかに前にして顧客から強い関心を得ていると明らかにした。2026年第2四半期の決算説明会で経営陣が述べたもので、顧客によるテープアウトはすでに始まっており、予定を前倒しで進んでいる。A14はTSMCの第2世代ナノシートトランジスタ技術であり、2ナノメートル技術と比べて同じ電力で10~15%高い性能、または同じ速度で25~30%低い電力を実現し、チップ密度は約20%向上する設計となっている。TSMCによると、社内の製品に近い検証用チップはデバイス性能で90%近くを達成し、256メガビットSRAMは歩留まりが90%近くに達した。同社はA14が2027年に事前生産に入り、2028年に量産を迎えると見込んでいる。TSMCはまた、A14ファミリーの拡張としてA13とA12を発表した。A13は97%の光学縮小によりダイ面積を6%以上削減する設計で、A12はA14プラットフォームにスーパーパワーレール技術をもたらすと期待されており、いずれも2029年の量産が予定されている。別途、マイクロンは世界初となる512ギガバイトDDR5モジュールを複数のサーバープラットフォームで実証することに成功したと発表し、AMDとインテルがこのモジュールを積極的に検証している。オン・セミコンダクターは、シリコンウェハーそのものをパッケージの基盤として用いる拡張性の高いアーキテクチャ「Embedded Power Platform」を発表した。
