Untrue. TSMC is just building a state of the art chip factory in Dresden, and they are certainly using ASML.

That fab unfortunately seems to be quite far from state of the art at 12 nm feature size. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Semiconductor_Manufac...

Since you know the truth, and on what date was that order put in? Why did it have to be in 2026 and not during the planning process in previous years?

So you seem to know more about ASML's business than the ASML executive quoted in this article.

Yes, so TSMC is buying the machines, and they are based in Taiwan. This is not about the physical location of the machines.

No, ASML is not lying about ASML's business developments.
