Samsung is set to upgrade its semiconductor production capabilities with two High-NA EUV lithography systems from ASML, expected to be operational by the first half of 2026.
According to TrendForce, the first EXE:5200B unit will arrive at Samsung's foundry in late 2025, followed by a second unit in early 2026. The EXE:5200B is ASML's first commercially ready High-NA EUV platform, supporting volume production.
Samsung's adoption of High-NA EUV will play a central role in its 2nm process roadmap.
The new lithography systems will be used to manufacture the Exynos 2600 SoC and Tesla's next-generation AI accelerator.
