ASML to Ship Multiple High-NA Tools in 2025, Expands Production Capacities


by Anton Shilov on February 14, 2024 9:00 AM EST - Posted in - Semiconductors - Intel - Samsung - SK Hynix - ASML - TSMC - Samsung Foundry - High-NA ASML began to ship its first High-NA lithography tool to Intel late last year ,and the machine will be fully assembled in Oregon in the coming months. Shipping only a single extreme ultraviolet (EUV) system with a 0.55 numerical aperture lens may not seem like too impressive, but the company aims to ship a much larger number of such devices this year, and further production increases in the coming years.

ASML began to ship its first High-NA lithography tool to Intel late last year ,and the machine will be fully assembled in Oregon in the coming months. Having secured between 10 and 20 orders for the High NA EUV machines, ASML is preparing to increase its production capacity to meet the demand for 20 units annually by 2028. Meanwhile, uncertainties about plance of chipmaker to use High-NA tools in the next two or three years raises concerns about potential overcapacity in the near term as ASML ramps up production.
