ASML’s new $400 million chip colossus transforms how semiconductors are made. CNBC got the first-ever on-camera look at the new machine, called High NA.

If the light source technology can be scaled ... and we are talking about a test vehicle at best. DUV lithography machines by ASML, Canon, and Nikon generate 193-nm light using an argon fluoride ...

more powerful microchips through the use of a shorter wavelength of light. ASML also produces deep ultraviolet (DUV) lithography systems, metrology and inspection systems, and computational ...

With a brighter light source (meaning less time needed to ... using the previous generation of EUV machines or older DUV machines. ASML has received orders for high-NA machines from all its ...

ASML’s DUV machines have 97% uptime and EUV ones ... Also, in 2012 ASML acquired Cymer for EUR 1.95 billion, the supplier of the EUV light source, probably the most technically demanding part ...

ASML's older generation DUV machines use less precise rays of ... High NA machines work the same as DUV, with the same EUV light source. But there's one key difference. The higher numerical ...
