Fabrikalar ve Paketleme
Where the chips are actually made: leading-edge process nodes, advanced packaging, and the equipment monopolies underneath.
Saha notları
Bu katmanın üzerindeki her şey tasarımdır; atomların gerçekten hareket ettiği yer burasıdır. Aynı zamanda dünya ekonomisinin en yoğun noktasıdır: yalnızca bir şirket neredeyse her gelişmiş yapay zeka chipini üretiyor; bunun için de yalnızca başka bir şirketin üretebileceği makineleri kullanıyor.
Bu üçle başlayın
TSMC
Vazgeçilmez şirket. Bu veritabanındaki neredeyse her chip burada doğdu.
EL
EUV Lithography
Yalnızca ASML'nin yapabileceği makine — kalay damlacıkları, lazerler ve şimdiye kadar yapılmış en düz aynalar.
CO
CoWoS
İki yıl boyunca dünya GPU arzını kıtlaştıran paketleme adımı.
Foundries & packaging houses

Litografi
2
EL
EUV Lithography
13.5-nanometer light from exploding tin droplets — the machine behind every leading-edge chip.
HN
High-NA EUV
The ~$380M next step: bigger optics, finer features, halved field size.
Advanced packaging
3
CO
CoWoS
TSMC's 2.5D packaging — the assembly step that rationed the world's GPUs.
E&
EMIB & Foveros
Intel's bridge-and-stack packaging arsenal.
S(
SoIC (3D Stacking)
TSMC's die-on-die hybrid bonding — true 3D chips.
Semiconductor equipment
7
ASML
The only maker of EUV lithography machines — a literal monopoly at the source.
AM
Applied Materials
The broadest toolmaker: deposition, etch, implant — and packaging tools too.
BS
BE Semiconductor (Besi)
The hybrid-bonding specialist for the 3D-stacking era.
