ASML Watch posted an update
ASML is not a competitor in hybrid bonding, Besi chief executive Richard Blickman says. He described the companies as working together to improve precision in chip placement, according to Ad Hoc News, citing Reuters.
Why it mattersThat makes the latest chatter about ASML entering the market look less like a confirmed new product push and more like a story about cooperation. The distinction matters in a specialised corner of chip manufacturing where precision is the point, not just a nice extra. For now, this is Blickman’s account, not confirmation from ASML.
Discuss: Does collaboration make more sense than competition in hybrid bonding, or should ASML be expected to build its own offering?
