ASML’s new lab opens up access to its most advanced chipmaking machine

ASML, the sole producer of chipmaking machines used in the world’s most advanced semiconductors, has opened a test lab for its High NA EUV lithography equipment, its most high-end tool to date. The laboratory, located in Veldhoven, the Netherlands, is a joint venture between ASML and Belgian chip research company imec. It will provide leading chipmakers and other materials and equipment suppliers with early access to the High NA EUV prototype scanner. The High NA machines represent the latest advancement in extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography systems, which use light to draw chip patterns on the silicon wafer. According to ASML,…
