Semiconductor Equipment Maker ASML Plans to Boost Prices
Semiconductor manufacturing equipment developer ASML (ASML.AS) plans to increase prices, The Information reported on Wednesday, citing four people familiar with the matter. The company's largest customer, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., recently complained about ASML's prices, and the latest price hike could increase tensions between both companies, according to two of the sources. The Netherlands-listed company has informed some customers that prices for its deep ultraviolet systems will be increased by 10%, according to the four sources. ASML and Taiwan Semiconductor have recently discussed price increases for EUV systems, the report added, citing two other people with direct knowledge of the talks. ASML declined to comment, but directed to a recording of its Q2 earnings call that addressed the topic of pricing. Taiwan Semiconductor did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
