ASML (ASML.O) and the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) announced a collaboration to jointly develop and promote the industrialisation of photonic chips. The collaboration will focus on TNO's photonic chip pilot production line under construction at the High Tech Campus in Eindhoven, Netherlands. ASML will provide manufacturing technology support in phases, including DUV and I-Line lithography equipment. Upon commissioning of the project, the facility will have the capacity for mass production of indium phosphide (InP) photonic chips on a 6-inch wafer scale.

[An official from South Korea's presidential office: Samsung and SK Hynix's new chip cluster plan is entering the final stage]

On June 24, Kim Yong-beom, the policy chief at the presidential office, stated that the plan for Samsung Electronics and SK hynix to establish a new semiconductor cluster had entered the final discussion stage, and once finalised, it would be formally announced to the public. Kim noted that due to the "explosive growth" in demand for chips from the artificial intelligence (AI) industry, the construction schedule of the two companies' existing Yongin semiconductor cluster will be significantly advanced. Among them, SK hynix plans to build four fabs in Yongin, and discussions are currently underway to bring forward the completion date of the fourth plant from the originally planned 2044 to 2034.
