For nearly forty years, Chemically Amplified Resists or CARs (say it separately) dominated the semiconductor industry. But technological changes present opportunities for major industrial shifts. And the introduction of EUV is perhaps the biggest technological change in the past 10 years. EUV's rise has opened the door to a perhaps-revolutionary new photoresist, and two very interesting new players supporting them. In this video, we talk about the new metal oxide and dry resists, developed for the EUV era and beyond.
Cela fait maintenant une semaine que Robert Francis Prevost est devenu Léon XIV. Il y a une semaine, dans le secret de la chapelle Sixtine, le doyen du Collège des cardinaux a interrogé le pape tout juste élu… De quel nom veux-tu être appelé ? Léon. Il s'en est expliqué deux jours plus tard : Léon XIV a choisi de mettre ses pas dans ceux de Léon XIII, et de l'encyclique historique Rerum novarum. Publié en 1891 - le 15 mai d'ailleurs - ce texte aborde la question sociale dans le contexte de la première grande révolution industrielle. Que dit-il dans le détail, et qu'est ce que cela permet de dire du nouveau pape ? François Euvé, Jésuite, théologien, rédacteur en chef de la revue Études est au micro de Pierre-Huges Dubois.

While attending an ASML presentation at SEMICON Korea, I noticed a tidbit on one of the slides. A key part of their future EUV roadmap has been growing the power source to 800 watts or more. But it had not been super clear to me how they were going to do that, other than maybe raising the speed of the tin pellets. Then I saw the slide and it showed something new, at least to me. Three laser pulses rather than two. Now how about that? No, this is not an Onion article. This looks to be real. In this video, I want to talk about lasers and EUV light sources. And how three is better than two.

When the semiconductor industry first started on EUV lithography, almost everyone believed that the optics would be the hardest things to do. Wavefront error—deviations of a light wave from its ideal—comes from imperfections in mirrors and lenses. A good lens aims for lambda/10 error; EUV optics must hit lambda/50. With EUV's 13.5 nm wavelength, that's 260 picometers. For context, a water molecule is 275 pm wide. That's the total error budget—for the entire six-mirror system. Because errors add in quadrature, each mirror gets 106 pm rms. But mirrors double light deviation on reflection, so surface accuracy must be halved: 53 pm rms. That's the radius of a hydrogen atom. It is 20 times harder for an EUV system with six mirrors to achieve the same wavefront performance of a DUV system with 60 surfaces. In this video, we go back to the machine you guys all know and love (again) and the finest multilayer mirrors ever made in history.

Pour l'avant-dernier épisode de sa série de carême sur l'espérance, La Foi Prise au Mot vous invite à une méditation sur les raisons d'espérer dans notre le monde d'aujourd'hui. Nous le savons, le monde traverse une série de crises aux dimensions multiples : crises environnementales, crises économiques, crises (géo)politiques ou encore crises technologiques. Face à ces défis, il serait facile de céder au découragement. Pourtant, l'espérance chrétienne ne repose pas sur une simple vision optimiste de l'avenir, mais sur une certitude profonde : Dieu demeure présent et continue d'agir dans l'histoire. Quels sont aujourd'hui les signes d'espérance ? Comment garder confiance lorsque les épreuves se multiplient ? Loin d'être une illusion ou une fuite devant la réalité, l'espérance est une force qui pousse à l'action et engage chacun à oeuvrer pour un monde plus juste et plus fraternel. En redécouvrant cette vertu essentielle, chaque croyant devient un témoin et un artisan d'espérance. Avec Johannes Hermann, ornitologue et le père François Euvé s.j., rédacteur en chef de la revue Études.
Social media is passing around an announcement that Huawei is testing a China-domestically developed EUV machine. This machine uses an EUV light source known as Laser-induced Discharge Plasma, or LDP. This is in contrast to ASML's method, which is called the Laser Produced Plasma or LPP method. It is claimed that LDP is much more efficient than LPP. Smaller, simpler and with better energy efficiency. Has ASML just been DeepSeek'd? I have been asked to speak on this via email and Twitter. I guess I have to do it. There is so little out there about how this machine works, so I am not going to speculate. But people have tried LDP before and we can talk about that. Feel free to extrapolate from there. In today's cope video, let's take a look at the Laser-Induced Discharge Plasma EUV light source.

Our modern world depends on chips, and our most modern chips depend on complex machines that use a process called extreme ultraviolet lithography. All of these machines are made by one company: ASML. The WSJ's Ben Cohen met one of the machine's mechanics and got a rare, behind-the-scenes tour of a factory where one of them operates. He explains the nearly sci-fi tech behind EUV lithography and gives us a peek into the one tool responsible for all the tech in your life. Sign up for the WSJ's free Technology newsletter.

Welcome back to another insightful clip of Market Mondays! In this clip, our hosts Rashad Bilal and Ian Dunlap dive deep into the fascinating world of semiconductor technology and its critical importance in the AI industry. We kick things off with a thorough discussion about Nvidia, one of the most innovative and high-performing companies in the tech world. Over recent years, Nvidia has made significant strides in the development of GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) and AI technologies. With their groundbreaking advancements, they have established themselves as one of the leading companies shaping the future of technology.Rashad provides a comprehensive explanation of the intricate relationship between Nvidia, TSM (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company), and ASML. TSM is the manufacturer behind Nvidia's cutting-edge chips, but they rely on ASML for the production of crucial lithography machines — specifically the EUV (Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography) machines. These machines are essential for creating wafers with 3 and 5 nanometer counts, which are vital for the efficiency and speed of GPUs.Ian further elaborates on the technical intricacies, highlighting the importance of these nanometer measurements and why companies like Nvidia opt for them to ensure superior performance. Together, Rashad and Ian explain how this tight-knit supply chain functions, emphasizing the necessity for all parties involved to be operating smoothly for the continued success of tech giants like Nvidia and AMD.Rashad also raises a critical point about the geopolitical aspects of semiconductor manufacturing. He highlights that while TSM has a significant presence in Taiwan, the establishment of a new foundry in Arizona, USA, is an encouraging step towards reducing dependency on imports. This development, tied to the larger CHIP Act, shows how political actions are directly influencing the tech landscape.Towards the latter part of the discussion, Ian shares some investment tips. He advises viewers to set entry points for high growth tech stocks at 25% from the top, as well as the importance of patience in the investment process. Rashad concurs, offering a slightly different metric range of 15-20% and pointing out the potential mistakes new investors might need to avoid, particularly chasing stocks that have already peaked.In an exciting twist, Ian demonstrates the utility of using AI tools like ChatGPT for investment research. By querying ChatGPT about ASML's monopoly on EUV machines, viewers can clearly see the critical role ASML plays in the semiconductor industry and why it's a dominant force that's hard to compete with.If you're an investor, tech enthusiast, or someone interested in the future of AI and semiconductor technologies, this episode is packed with invaluable insights and practical tips.

The Dutch lithography juggernaut ASML (Nasdaq: ASML) has been one of the semiconductor industry's best performing stocks of the past decade. Yet its high-flying shares have sold off 33% in the past three months, perhaps due to its underwhelming forward guidance that could indicate slowing demand. ASML has looked to Intel (Nasdaq: INTC) for much of its growth this past year. Intel has been all-in on expanding its foundry group and aggressively placed orders for six of ASML's latest-and-greatest EUV machines last year. That was a huge sign of confidence, and ASML's shares shot up 50% during the first half of 2024. Yet now facing a cash-crunch, Intel is delaying its new $30 billion Germany fab and is pushing out many of its previously-expected orders. That caused ASML to pull back on its fiscal year forecast and to suffer the wrath of a displeased and suddenly-very-grumpy market. With ASML regain the confidence of investors? Will Intel be an opportunity or a liability going forward? 7investing CEO Simon Erickson shares his thoughts in today's podcast.

A mirror inside ASML's EUV lithography machine reflects just 70% of the EUV light it receives. With 10-12 reflections in the machine, this can get inefficient. Just 1% of the photons hit the wafer. Electrical power efficiency is said to be less than 0.2%. It also contributes to troublesome stochastic defects, since not enough EUV photons hit the resist to overcome quantum effects. So a recent paper from Professor Tsumoru Shintake at the Okinawa Institute of Science & Technology caught my eye. It proposes a simplified setup with radically fewer mirrors. But Shintake makes it clear to me that his system no way challenges ASML's. In fact, it should complement it. I think this thing can work. In today's video, I want to walk you through this interesting new thing cooking up in beautiful Okinawa.

Why are we doing an episode about ASML, a business that the BBC referred to in 2020 as "a relatively obscure Dutch company,"? It started with host, Eeke's, curiosity about an iconic company from her homeland of the Netherlands. But the deeper we descended into the ASML world of semiconductors, chips, and lithography, the more we all realized that we had something pretty special on our hands. ASML owns 100 percent of the extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) market. These are the machines that the biggest chip producers like TSMC, Intel, and Samsung rely on to power the world's most innovative chips. Their monopoly was a hard won. When they started investing in EUV in the 1980s, neither ASML nor anyone else in the industry knew whether this technology was possible. It was truly science fiction. Then over the span of 40 years, ASML was a part of the most mind breaking technological advancements, beating out competitors in the United States and Japan to ultimately dominate the lithography market. And, enable us to keep up with Moore's Law (which perhaps would be more aptly called 'Moore's Challenge.') ASML is Europe's second largest company, all run from a field in Veldhoven, the Netherlands, and in this process, they have built one of the biggest technical moats in the industry.
Machines that build machines. It's a curious paradox. Whenever you consider something that builds itself, physically, it could conjure thoughts of an infinity loop or an M.C. Escher painting. The never-ending loop of technology. The extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machine, a marvel of modern engineering, etches patterns onto silicon wafers with unparalleled precision, giving birth to the microchips that power our world. A machine so advanced, so intricate, that it holds the power to create the very building blocks of our digital age. It gives birth to the state of the art in semiconductors. Indeed, the future pulled forward to today. As we marvel at the bleeding edge of technology, we often overlook the humble components that make it all possible. Inside every EUV lithography machine, a symphony of legacy technologies plays out, from power management diodes to analog circuits. These unsung heroes, though less glamorous than their cutting-edge counterparts, are the backbone of innovation. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the world has witnessed the fragility of global semiconductor supply chains. Black swan events have exposed the dangers of over-reliance on a single source, leading to shortages that ripple across industries. It is a stark reminder that the latest and greatest cannot exist without the tried and true. [pause] As we navigate this era of rapid technological advancement, let us not forget the importance of balance. The yin and yang of old and new, of leading and lagging-edge, are forever intertwined in the dance of progress. The lead guitar and vocals may provide the memorable moments in your favorite songs, but have you ever heard a song without the drums? Modern architecture can inspire and awe, but ever tried to build a house without a concrete foundation? Trips to the zoo to visit the tigers provide moments of wonder; what would happen if the protective glass was removed? Remember that next time you marvel at the latest gadget or gizmo. Take a moment to appreciate the unassuming components that make it all possible. For in the grand scheme of innovation, every piece of the puzzle matters, no matter how small, outdated, or seemingly invisible.

台積電是吃電怪獸嗎？如果是的話，台灣怎麼辦？今年六月，台積電董事長劉德音在股東會上表示，台積電的用電量在2030年將來到台灣整體用電量的11-12%，這讓許多人感到有些驚訝，而造成台積電用電量大增的主因，矛頭似乎都指向二奈米晶片所需的極紫外光微影設備EUV。但是，艾司摩爾的EUV真的如此耗電嗎？ 此外，在台灣科技產業發展上，無論是半導體先進製程、AI資料中心、電動車，都需要仰賴足夠的電力，然而台灣的電力足夠嗎？未來會不會缺電？在綠能議題上，儲能技術可能有什麼樣的發展？ 這集節目的來賓是兩位麻省理工學院的台灣校友李政鋒與周奕成，他們正在集結其他MIT校友組成「Power Taiwan」，試圖導入MIT的科學方法來解決台灣用電問題。他們將如何應付能源這個超級難題呢？ 主持人：天下雜誌總主筆 陳良榕 來賓：世代群業董事 李政鋒、Power Taiwan發起人 周奕成 製作團隊：李洛梅、劉駿逸 ＊免費下載《天下每日報App》體驗1個月：https://bit.ly/3wQEJ4P ＊訂閱阿榕伯科技電子報：https://bit.ly/42A6BWj ＊意見信箱：bill@cw.com.tw -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
This week on Sinica, Paul Triolo rejoins the show for a deep, deep dive into China's response to American export controls on advanced semiconductors and related technologies. How much hurt has the policy put on Chinese firms — and how far along is China in finding its way toward technological autonomy?

Peace Matters - A Podcast on Contemporary Geopolitics and International Relations
The unprovoked and illegal war of aggression of Russia against Ukraine ended the assumption that a conventional war within Europe is a relict of the past. With the European Security Architecture in crisis, if even still existing, the EU member states understood the importance of their neighboring countries in South Eastern Europe and in Eastern Europe for their own security. With the granting of EU candidate status to Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia, the nearly two decades long period of enlargement-fatigue came to an end. However, six states in the so-called Western Balkans have been in the process for many years and yet Croatia was the last country to become a member of the EU in 2013. Challenges are still manifold when it comes to the rule of law, corruption, nationalism, emigration on the side of the candidate countries. On the other hand, especially in the countries of the Western Balkans the EU has lost its credibility due to not following its own promises after reforms. The way into the EU is still long and technical, but there are many attempts to make the process more feasible and merit-based. However, the EU also needs to address the most crucial questions on how it wants to deal with an enlarged EU. How is this possible when decision-making processes on foreign policy decisions are still based on unanimity? While the decision to grant the countries in the east a European perspective has widely been acknowledged as a geopolitical decision, what does that imply for the values of the EU, codified in Art 2 of the EUV? How credible is this European perspective for the candidate countries who are all on different tracks and made different reforms? What is the cost of non-enlarging the EU? With an expected shift towards right-wing parties in the upcoming EU elections in June, what does that mean for a “New EU”? These and other questions have been addressed in this Podcast with the excellent experts Kristof BENDER and Milena MIHAJLOVIĆ. Guests: Kristof Bender (Austria) is the Deputy Chirman at the European Stability Initiative (ESI). He leads various ESI research projects on EU enlargement and on South Eastern Europe. Educated in sociology in Vienna and Paris, he has worked in South East Europe in various capacities since 1997, including managing higher education projects in Bosnia for the World University Service, as Attaché for Humanitarian Affairs in the Austrian Embassy in Belgrade, as a researcher for the International Centre for Migration Policy Development and as a consultant for various institutions, including the Austrian Federal Chancellery, DFID and SIDA. Part of the ESI team since early 2000, Kristof has been living in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia, and is currently based in Vienna. He is also a Europe's Futures fellow at the IWM Vienna (Institut für die Wissenschaften vom Menschen), a board member of the Kosovo Civil Society Foundation (KCSF) and an advisory board member of Institute Alternativa (Montenegro). Milena Mihajlovic is one of the founders and Programme Director at the European Policy Centre (CEP), independent, non-profit think-tank based in Belgrade, Serbia. Milena is a proven expert in the field of public administration reform, in Serbia and in the Western Balkan region. Before co-founding CEP, Lazarevic worked for almost six years as a civil servant in the Serbian administration, first in the EU Integration Office of the Serbian Government (SEIO) and later in the Ministry of Public Administration. She is a Soros scholar and has an MA degree in European studies from the College of Europe and an MA in European Administrative Law from Belgrade University. Moderation: Stephanie Fenkart, Director of the IIP The episode was recorded on 13 May 2024.
✍︎: The Curious Worldview Newsletter - the ultimate compliment to the podcast...Jos Benschop – SVP Science ASML - Episode #56Chris Miller – Chip War - Episode #81ASML Bloody Good BusinessFollow me on Instagram - @ryanfhoggWatch on youtube - https://youtu.be/Kxmf6P-JHa8ASML is certainly among the most critical businesses to the modern economy. They make the machines that make the microchips which makes modernity go round. You've likely heard of TSMC, the Taiwanese behemoth at the centre of Chinese geopolitics and how these are in fact the guys that make these amazing microchips. That is true! But they make them on ASML machines, and that's the critical point to take home. The insane complexity of ASML's EUV machine is impossible to fully appreciate. Jos Benschop, ASMLS senior vice president of Technology he makes the claim that ASML's EUV machine is the most complex machine ever made by man.When words are overused they lose their meaning, but truly ASML's EUV machine is by definition, unbelievable.The CTO Martin Van De Brink has recently retired from ASML – and his cultural legacy really forms the narrative for Marc's Book – with plenty of fun anecdotes.Marc Hijink is the guest on this episode, he is a Dutch journalist and tech reporter for Handelsblad and recently went down a three year journey with unparalleled access to ASML and produced a wonderful history of this phenomenal company. 00:00 – Who Is Marc Hijink & ASML02:38 – Writing ‘Focus' A Dream Project07:38 – ASML Origins & Culture17:23 – Culture & Martin Van De Brink24:35 – The Geopolitics Of ASML26:58 – Complexity Of The EUV Machine & ASML's Appetite For Risk44:55 – What About The Software? + Recruitment Against Meta, Google, OpenAI50:13 – Growing At 800 Employees A Month55:28 – Fragility Of ASML's Client Base57:17 – Focus58:38 – Serendipity In ASML & Marc's Life

It's by Ramish Cheema at Insider Monkey and appeared on finance.yahoo.com. Here are some quotes from Mr. Cheema from his article. “We ranked the top 30 most valuable holdings of the Vanguard ESG U.S. Stock ETF (ESGV) by the number of hedge funds that had bought the shares during the fourth quarter of 2023 and picked the top stocks… Hedge funds' top 10 consensus stock picks outperformed the S&P 500 Index by more than 140 percentage points over the last 10 years (see the details here). 13. Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:ADBE) Hedge Fund Shareholders: 105 Its Photoshop software is one of the best known image editing software in the world, and in April 2024, Adobe shared that it will add artificial intelligence features to Photoshop later this year. 12. Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (NYSE:TMO) Hedge Fund Shareholders: 111 Thermo Fisher Scientific is one of the biggest medical instruments and devices companies in the world. The shares are rated Buy on average. 11. UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (NYSE:UNH) Hedge Fund Shareholders: 113 UnitedHealth Group is the largest healthcare benefits provider and plan manager in the U.S. 2024 has been quite a controversial year for the firm after it was targeted through a cyber attack earlier this year that disrupted healthcare services across America. 10. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) Hedge Fund Shareholders: 120 Advanced Micro Devices is an American semiconductor designer that makes and sells CPUs, GPUs, and other silicon products… Wall Street appears to be quite optimistic about the firm's future prospects, as it has rated the shares Strong Buy. 9. Salesforce, Inc. (NYSE:CRM) Hedge Fund Shareholders: 131 Salesforce is an American enterprise software company that enables firms to manage their customer relationships… the shares are up after reports indicate that Salesforce is no longer pursuing a multi billion dollar acquisition to grow its business operations. 8. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) Hedge Fund Shareholders: 131 April 2024 hasn't been a great month for the firm, as not only have its shares proved to be lackluster in gains, but multiple reports share that consumer interest in the Apple Vision Pro headset is declining. 7. Mastercard Incorporated (NYSE:MA) Hedge Fund Shareholders: 141 Mastercard is a financial technology firm that acts as a gateway between merchants and consumers. It's… rated (a) Strong Buy on average. 6. Visa Inc. (NYSE:V) Hedge Fund Shareholders: 162 Visa Inc. is another payment gateway platform and services provider. Like Mastercard, it was also at the center of a bullish analyst note from Morgan Stanley in April 2024 that indicated that Visa Inc. was benefiting from the surge in global travel. 5. NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) Hedge Fund Shareholders: 173 NVIDIA Corporation is Wall Street's artificial intelligence darling. Its shares are up by 198% over the past year… 4. Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Hedge Fund Shareholders: 214 Alphabet Inc. is one of the biggest technology companies in the world. The firm was out with an announcement worthy of its size in April 2024 when it announced that it would invest $640 million to set up a new data center in The Netherlands. 3. Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) Hedge Fund Shareholders: 242 Meta Platforms, Inc. is the biggest social media and communications company in the world. Its CEO Mark Zuckerberg appeared to have thrown a curve ball in the AI market in April 2024 when Meta Platforms announced its Llama 3 model which it claims is one of the most powerful open source AI platforms in the world. 2. Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) Hedge Fund Shareholders: 293 Amazon.com is one of the biggest eCommerce retailers in the world. Like other mega cap stocks, it is also focusing heavily on AI, and announced plans in April through which its AWS business division seeks to host other businesses' AI models. 1. Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) Hedge Fund Shareholders: 302 Microsoft is a global consumer software and enterprise computing giant. The firm scored a big win in April 2024 when beverages giant Coca Cola signed a $1.1 billion deal with it to use Microsoft's AI and cloud computing platforms.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 2) Best Ethical, ESG Stocks, for 2024 This next article comes from investorplace.com, a site with a prolific output of articles related to renewable energy. This new article is titled The Power of the Sun: 3 Solar Energy Stocks Primed for 5X Gains. It's by Faizan Farooque. Now some quotes from Mr. Farooque. “1. Array Technologies (NASDAQ:ARRY) has surpassed Wall Street projections four times… Despite tremendous success, Array stock is down 31% in 2024 due to lower-than-expected annual expectations. The company's reduction of its annual prediction has lowered the stock's price, making it ideal for investors looking for inexpensive solar stocks. Analysts predict a 68% upside. 2. Canadian Solar (NASDAQ:CSIQ) The company has missed profit expectations seven times in a row, with the most recent miss being 350%. All it can do is focus on its business and grow. To do this, Canadian Solar is constructing a 5GW solar cell factory in Jeffersonville, Indiana, at a cost of $800 million… Investors will hope the expansion into China and the new $800 million plant will help realize the stock's 84% upside potential. 3. First Solar's (NASDAQ:FSLR) path forward will depend on its aggressive expansion in the solar business. It's spending $1.2 billion to expand its U.S. manufacturing capabilities… First Solar also paid $38 million to buy the Swedish perovskite expert Evolar. It is hoped that this buy will speed up the creation of very efficient tandem photovoltaic (PV) technology… The potential upside of over 22% reflects this narrative, placing it highly among solar stocks.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 3) Best Ethical, ESG Stocks, for 2024 This third article comes by way of a new website to me, techopedia.com. The article is titled Best ESG Stocks to Invest in 2024 and it's by Jim Halley. Now some brief comments by Mr. Halley on each company. “1. ASML Holding (NASDAQ: ASML) The Dutch company has a monopoly on EUV lithography machines that are used to imprint patterns on silicon chips. 2. Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) The tech company hasn't let its profit goals get in the way of ESG progress and has invested heavily in renewable energy. It has set ambitious goals for reducing water use and to be carbon neutral. 3. Hermes International (OTC: HESAF) The luxury goods retailer sells longer-lasting goods to protect the environment and has a science-based target to lower greenhouse gas emissions in its supply chain and operations. 4. Fortinet (NASDAQ: FTNT) The cybersecurity company has lowered its carbon footprint, avoiding 455 tons of CO2 emissions by using eco-friendly packaging. It also uses 100% renewable energy in 80% of its owned sites. 5. Check Point Software Technologies (NASDAQ: CHKP) The Israeli company focuses on cybersecurity services. It said it's looking to be carbon neutral by 2040. It also focuses on charitable work and gender equality. 6. Colgate-Palmolive (NYSE: CL) Founded in 1806, it's one of the oldest companies in the US stock market. It has a diverse workforce, with 42% of its senior managers and directors being minorities (Black, Asian or Latino). 7. Adobe (NASDAQ: ADBE) The software company gets high sustainability scores by using renewable energy sources and reducing waste. It also has several diversity and inclusion initiatives. 8. Brookfield Renewable Partners (NYSE: BEP) It develops and operates renewable power and sustainable assets, including hydroelectric, wind, utility-scale solar power. It pays an above-average dividend. 9. Constellation Energy (NASDAQ: CEG) The electrical power and natural gas management services provider has the US's largest carbon-free nuclear presence after investing in the South Texas Project Electric Generating Station. 10. Applied Materials (NASDAQ: AMAT) The world's No. 1 semiconductor wafer fabrication equipment maker gets high ESG scores because it uses 100% renewable energy – wind and solar power – in the US, and 70% globally.” End quotes ------------------------------------------------------------- 4) Best Ethical, ESG Stocks, for 2024 The fourth article is another one from the investorplace.com site titled 7 Alternative Energy Stocks to Buy on the Fossil Fuel Fallout. It's by Josh Enomoto. Here are some quotes from Mr. Enomoto on each of his picks. “1. NextEra Energy (NYSE:NEE) generates, transmits, distributes and sells electric power to retail and wholesale customers in North America. Per its public profile, the company generates electricity through wind, solar, nuclear, natural gas and other clean energy... It's one of the alternative energy stocks to keep on your radar. 2. Cameco (NYSE:CCJ) provides uranium for electricity generation. It operates through multiple segments, with its mainline uranium unit involved in the exploration for, mining, milling, purchase and sale of uranium concentrate. It also features a fuel unit that engages in the refining and fabrication of the commodity… It's an unignorable component of alternative energy stocks to buy. 3. Ormat Technologies (NYSE:ORA) (Is engaged in geothermal energy production.) Geothermal is exactly what it sounds like — extracting energy from the earth's core. It's sustainable, renewable and doesn't involve building ugly wind turbines that could impact wildlife. Notably, the company is a strong financial performer. Last fiscal year, it posted an average positive earnings surprise of 22.58%. 4. First Solar (NASDAQ:FSLR) provides photovoltaic (PV) solar energy solutions in the United States, France, Japan, Chile and internationally. Per its public profile, the company manufactures and sells PV solar modules with a thin film semiconductor technology that provides a lower-carbon alternative to conventional crystalline silicon PV solar modules… It's still risky but it could be a compelling wager for alternative energy stocks. 5. Clearway Energy (NYSE:CWEN) Per its corporate profile, Clearway has approximately 6,000 net megawatts (MW) of installed wind, solar and energy generation projects. It also features approximately 2,500 net MW of natural gas-fired generation facilities… The most optimistic analyst believes that Clearway Energy has… over 62% upside potential. 6. Brookfield Renewable (NYSE:BEPC) owns and operates a portfolio of renewable power and sustainable solution assets primarily in the U.S., Europe, Colombia and Brazil. According to its corporate profile, Brookfield operates hydroelectric, wind, solar and distributed energy and sustainable solutions with an installed capacity of approximately 19,161 MW… Shares feature a moderate buy consensus view. 7. Clean Energy Fuels (NASDAQ:CLNE) provides natural gas as alternative fuels for vehicle fleets and related fueling solutions in the U.S. and Canada… Clean Energy Fuels ranks as the highest-risk, highest-reward prospect on this list of alternative energy stocks. Analysts rate shares a consensus strong buy… projecting over 215% upside potential.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Other Honorable Mentions – not in any order 1.

ASML stock is taking a tumble after its latest earnings. It seemed the market was totally focused on the first deliveries of its newest EUV lithography machine to Intel (INTC) to fuel next-gen chip manufacturing, but was ignoring the financial guidance ASML management had provided a few months ago. Shares are giving back some of their 2024 gains, but it's no surprise. This was always going to be a "transition year" for the company. Chip Stock Investor breaks it down and explains its call for this top semiconductor manufacturing equipment provider.
This is Matt Reustle. Today, we are breaking down Intel. In the late 80s, a newly appointed CEO, Andy Grove, pivoted to exit memory chips and focus on logic chips. They were the leading edge chip designer, but Intel missed out on the mobile market and EUV technology as technology shifted. Now they're left playing catch up and falling from their iconic status. To cover Intel, I am joined by Todd Ahlsten, CIO of Parnassus Investments. Todd started covering semiconductors in the mid-nineties and has since lived through eight cycles in the sector. We look at what separates secular changes from cyclical ones, and Todd helps outline what went wrong, what is changing today, and what we can monitor as this progresses. Please enjoy this breakdown of Intel.

De meeste bedrijven verliezen geld aan ziektes en oorlogen. Maar één bedrijf verdient er goud geld mee, en het is nog onschuldig ook: Maersk. Het aandeel van de containervervoerder schoot deze week met dubbele cijfers de lucht in en liet zo alle Europese aandelen achter zich. Met dank aan Houthi-rebellen die containerschepen bestoken met raketten. McDonald's lijdt dan weer wel onder de oorlog in Gaza. Restauranthouders boden Israëlische militairen gratis maaltijden aan. Die hulpactie schoot bij sommige klanten in het verkeerde keelgat en daarom boycotten ze McDonald's. Op het hoofdkantoor waren ze ook niet blij met deze franchisers. Sterker nog: topman Kempczinski spreekt van desinformatie. Tesla wordt verslagen door het Chinese BYD. En precies in die week moet Tesla ook nog eens 1,6 miljoen auto's in China terugroepen. Geluk bij een ongeluk: ze hoeven niet naar de garage. Een software-update blijkt genoeg om gebruikers beter te beveiligen bij het gebruik van de automatische piloot. Jerome Powell van de Amerikaanse centrale bank hintte vorige maand vanuit het niets op renteverlagingen. Maar uit de notulen blijkt dat Powell voor z'n beurt heeft gepraat en dat andere Fed-leden helemaal niet zo overtuigd zijn van een snelle verlaging. Toen werd het Payroll Friday en viel het Amerikaanse banenrapport op de mat.

Het is gelukt. Tesla is van de troon gestoten. Vorig kwartaal verkocht het Chinese BYD meer elektrische auto's. Is Tesla voorgoed zijn titel als grootste elektrische autobouwer ter wereld kwijt? En veel beleggers willen het niet, beleggen in Chinese aandelen. Maar moet je voor BYD een uitzondering maken? Het was ASML beloofd: de krachtige chipmachines mochten tot begin dit jaar naar China. Maar nu blijkt dat Washington daar een stokje voor heeft gestoken. De reden en impact bespreken we in deze aflevering. Daarin gaat het ook over Apple. Dat was vorig jaar nog één van de beurslievelingen, nu wordt het afgeschreven. Deze hele week gaat het over goede voornemens. Het gaat niet over afvallen, meer bewegen of stoppen met roken. Nee, we bedoelen goede voornemens op de beurs. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
“We rarely think about chips, yet they've created the modern world,” writes the historian Chris Miller.He's not exaggerating. Semiconductors power everything from our phones and computers to cars, planes, advanced military equipment, and A.I. systems. Chips are the foundation of modern economic prosperity, military strength and geopolitical power.This conversation with Chris Miller, author of “Chip War: The Fight for the World's Most Critical Technology,” was recorded back in April. But we wanted to re-air it, because what Miller lays out in that book, and in this conversation, is essential to understanding where we are in 2023, and the faultlines that will shape the world ahead. Because semiconductors have one of the most concentrated supply chains of any technology today. One Taiwanese company, TSMC, produces around 90 percent of the most advanced chips. A single Dutch firm, ASML, produces all of the world's EUV lithography machines, which are essential to produce leading-edge chips. The entire industry is built like this.That doesn't just make the chip supply chain vulnerable to external shocks; it also makes it easily weaponizable by the powers that control it. In 2022, the Biden administration banned exports of advanced chips — and the equipment needed to produce those chips — to China, and then further tightened those rules this October. In August 2022, President Biden signed into law the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act, which includes a $52 billion investment to on-shore U.S. chip manufacturing. China has invested tens of billions of dollars over the past decade to build a domestic semiconductor industry of its own. Chips have become to the geopolitics of the 21st century what oil was to the geopolitics of the 20th.In this conversation, Miller talks me through what semiconductors are, why they matter and how they are shaping everything from U.S.-China relations and the Russia-Ukraine war to the Biden policy agenda and the future of A.I.Mentioned:“The Problem With Everything-Bagel Liberalism” by Ezra KleinBook Recommendations:The World For Sale by Javier Blas and Jack FarchyNexus by Jonathan Reed WinklerPrestige, Manipulation and Coercion by Joseph TorigianThoughts?

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
It's Friday and we're ready to toe the line with Retail Auto as we talk about GM layoffs, Carvana's expansion of its same-day services, and one UPS driver who shares his paycheck and sparks some second thoughts from commenters. General Motors has announced a temporary halt in Chevy Bolt EV production, leading to layoffs of 1,314 workers at two Michigan plants.GM has ceased production of the Chevy Bolt EV and EUV, resulting in 945 job cuts at the Lake Orion assembly plant. The plant is set for a transformation to produce future EV models.An additional 369 jobs will be lost at the Lansing Grand River Assembly plant with the end of Chevy Camaro Coupe production.GM plans a significant shift to its Ultium EV platform, with investments and retooling of the plant leading to the new Chevy Bolt EV reappearing on this new platform in 2025.In a notice to the state, GM noted that the reason they are announcing the layoffs so late were due to the slow ratification process of the UAW contract.Affected workers, particularly at the Orion plant, are being offered alternative opportunities in Michigan. This restructuring follows a new contract with the UAW, which included significant wage adjustments.Carvana is expanding its same-day delivery service to new markets in the South and MidwestAfter introducing its same-day delivery service in November to Atlanta, Dallas-Fort Worth, Tampa, and Orlando, and has now extended it to Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio.The service allows customers to buy a vehicle online and receive it the same day, emphasizing convenience and speed during the busy holiday season.Carvana senior director of market operations and expansion Jacqueline Hearns said in a news release, “Especially in the middle of a busy holiday season, customers value speed and convenience, and we couldn't be happier to make car buying faster and easier than ever before for Columbus and Cincinnati-area residents with our new same day delivery offering.”Customers also have the option for same-day drop-off when selling their vehicles to Carvana at designated locations.A UPS driver's TikTok video revealing his weekly paycheck gains nearly 12 million views, sparking discussions about pay transparency and career choices in various industries.Skyler Stutzman, an Oregon-based UPS driver, shared his earnings of approximately $2,004 pre-tax for one week, leading to widespread surprise over the high pay rate of UPS drivers.The Teamsters union secured a total compensation package for UPS drivers worth $170,000, including benefits, highlighting the value of union negotiations.Just too good: One X user @battleangelviv posted this screenshot of an iphone update screen with the caption “breaking: apple recalls almost all iphones”Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email ASOTU Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/automotivestateoftheunion
