An EUV machine from ASML for Japan, for RAPIDUS [Tweakers]

$ASML Holding (ASML.US)$ This month, for the first time, an EUV machine from ASML, which is to be used for the production of 2-nanometer chips, was shipped to Japan. That is news in itself, but the most striking thing is that this machine will not be located in a factory of TSMC, Intel or Samsung, but in that of a new player called Rapidus.

The new company is an initiative of the Japanese government to give the country a prominent role in the production of advanced chips again. To this end, it is collaborating with Japanese companies such as Kioxa, Softbank, Sony and Toyota. Large subsidies are also being made available. The goal is to produce 2-nanometer chips on a large scale by 2027.
This will be a difficult task, as the production of advanced chips is extremely complex.
