Gudeng bullish on fourth quarter after rebound in demandBy Lisa Wang / Staff reporterGudeng Precision Industrial Co Ltd (家登), the sole supplier of extreme ultraviolet light (EUV) pods to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電), yesterday said that a rebound in demand from its major client would support sequential growth in revenue next quarter. “Demand is to pick up in the fourth quarter following a break in the third quarter,” Chiu said. The company expects its capacity to increase to 2,000 EUV pods per month after it completes a new plant in 2022. Gudeng also supplies EUV pods to Intel Corp and Samsung Electronics Co, sources said. The use of photomasks and EUV pods is expected to more than double when chipmakers advance to next-generation technologies.
