According to data from Korea's Meritz Securities cited by Wall Street Journal, the delivery time for low-capacity, high-capacity, and automotive MLCCs from Samsung Electro-Mechanics has been extended from over 30 weeks in September to 52 weeks in October, with some customers needing to wait about a year after placing orders. The delivery time for major MLCC products from Taiwanese manufacturer Yageo remains at 30 to 52 weeks, and the extension of delivery times has spread from high-capacity, high-performance products to low-capacity and automotive products.The delivery cycles for NIC Components, Viking, and Sanhe Capacitors have also been extended to varying degrees, with many companies continuing to maintain a trend of price increases. AI servers are one of the important drivers of demand growth, with their MLCC loading capacity exceeding that of ordinary servers by more than 10 times. The capacity utilization rate of Samsung Electro-Mechanics' components division reached 91% in the first half of this year, and the expansion project in the Philippines is expected to achieve mass production only after 2027, making it difficult to significantly alleviate short-term supply pressure.

On October 15, the semiconductor research organization SemiAnalysis published an article stating that the lithography equipment manufacturer ASML has not officially announced related products, but patents, news reports, and the company's roadmap all indicate that it is developing hybrid bonding equipment. The author of the article judges that ASML may first launch more challenging chip-to-wafer hybrid bonding tools and view it as an extension of vertical integration.Patents show that the system operates on a track, with each chip placed in an independent carrier, sequentially completing inspection, cleaning, plasma activation, morphology inspection, leveling, coarse alignment, position adjustment, and fine alignment before entering the bonding station; the final placement is completed by the carrier and suction cup. The track's repeat accuracy is about 10 microns, far from the approximately 50 nanometers required for bonding. ASML submitted 27 bonding patent families from December 2022 to November 2024, most of which are aimed at chip-to-wafer. The Elec reported in March that ASML has begun hybrid bonding machine architecture design with Prodrive Technologies and VDL ETG.The article states that wafer-to-wafer hybrid bonding has been used for image sensors and 3D NAND; chip-to-wafer is currently only used for mass production of logic chips, including AMD's hybrid bonding V-Cache shipped since 2022 and TSMC's SoIC. The current spacing of SoIC is about 6 microns, with a target of reaching approximately 4.5 microns by 2029. Besi is currently the only supplier with chip-to-wafer mass production tools, with related logic business mainly concentrated in TSMC and Intel.

Global leading chip equipment manufacturer ASML's Chief Financial Officer Roger Dassen stated that the company opposes a proposal in the U.S. Congress to restrict its sales of DUV lithography equipment to China, believing it is a bad idea. This statement came during a conference call with reporters following the company's third-quarter earnings release.Dassen said that if the Match Act is passed after the U.S. midterm elections, it will accelerate the development of competitive technologies within China. He also expressed optimism that common sense would prevail. Reuters described the Match Act as a U.S. Congressional proposal to limit ASML's sales of DUV lithography equipment to China.

Dutch semiconductor equipment manufacturer ASML has raised its full-year sales forecast for the third consecutive quarter, expecting sales in 2026 to be between 44 billion and 45 billion euros. Net sales in the third quarter rose to 11.66 billion euros.ASML plans to increase the production capacity of its low numerical aperture extreme ultraviolet lithography equipment by 30% next year and stated that it will not be able to fully meet market demand in 2027 and 2028.

Dutch semiconductor equipment manufacturer ASML is expected to announce its Q3 financial report on October 14. Driven by demand for AI chips, the market anticipates significant growth in revenue and profits compared to the same period in 2025. Wall Street analysts estimate Q3 revenue at 11.73 billion euros, a year-on-year increase of 55%; earnings per share are projected to be 10.76 euros, nearly doubling from 5.49 euros in Q3 2025.ASML's Q2 revenue was 9.3 billion euros, higher than 7.7 billion euros in the same period of 2025, with net profit increasing from 2.3 billion euros to 2.9 billion euros. The company estimates Q3 revenue to be between 11 billion and 12 billion euros, with a gross margin of 55% to 57%, and has raised its full-year revenue outlook to between 43 billion and 45 billion euros.ASML is the only manufacturer in the world that commercializes extreme ultraviolet lithography equipment. Foundries such as TSMC, Intel, and Samsung rely on its equipment to manufacture advanced AI processors, and the company is also developing the next generation of High-NA EUV. Intel has processed over 1 million wafers using this equipment in research, testing, and manufacturing, while Samsung plans to introduce it into advanced DRAM mass production by 2028. The market expects ASML to increase the capacity of its existing EUV systems by about 30% by 2027.

The official NEAR public chain stated on X that cryptographic agility is a fundamental requirement of the blockchain industry, and the upgrade of signature schemes should become routine. NEAR accounts now support post-quantum ML-DSA signature schemes without the need to migrate assets.The NEAR core development team, Near One, is advancing NEP-655. This proposal involves commitment-based implicit accounts derived from the initial state hash, with assets located after that hash, without exposing public keys or key hashes on-chain. The related functionality has currently been launched on the testnet, with the mainnet planned for release in the coming weeks.For developers, the team is designing the NEAR Intents wallet contract to support custom signature extensions, including ML-DSA and hash-based schemes. For chains that cannot currently add post-quantum keys, the team is advancing the Q-day recovery registry on NEAR, allowing users to submit recovery keys in a rotatable hash format. NEAR claims that quantum computing factors were considered in its design back in 2018.

According to The New York Times, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao recalled that one day earlier this year, he was lying in bed handling work—after struggling with chronic pain for a long time, he often worked while lying down—when suddenly the window began to shake. He got up and walked to the balcony, where he saw a trail of smoke left in the sky.Changpeng Zhao lives on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi, an area that faces Iran across the Persian Gulf, and not long ago, Iran had launched a missile towards the UAE.This attack marked the beginning of a geopolitical crisis that plunged the entire region into turmoil, but Changpeng Zhao was not overly worried. He returned to bed to continue working. "More people die in traffic accidents than from missiles," he later stated, "the security here is very good."
