ASML unveiled an upgrade for the light source in its EUV process that increases power from 600W to 1,000W. This improvement could increase wafer yields by as much as 50% by 2030.

my fave ASML EUV fact: the Dutch chip machine maker’s light technology is so precise it could hit your thumb with a laser pointer from the moon.

That video is from ASML last year: More from Reuters: And no wonder ASML rocks such great merch:

And they say Europe doesn’t innovate ..

600W to 1000W on a machine that costs $380M per unit. ASML is the final boss of semiconductor manufacturing

Magic light box that makes thinking sand.

They are still using the Russian institute invented/supplied tin laser.

Throughput, not yield.

That shit is doing magic. How tf someone came up with that

Craziest engineering on the planet 🥇
That’s impressive.

@grok tell us more. Cheaper chips?

1kW EUV power bump could really move the yield needle -- 50% by 2030 helps fabs scale AI chips faster. Still, packaging like CoWoS stays the real pinch.

Yeah I like waffles too

The real leverage is always in the tools behind the scenes.

@AndreSeverini

@grok donc pour faire de la lumière ils chauffent de l'étain ? Quel intérêt ?

Imagine vibe coding this

All into videos of ntr humanoid cats going to gym. And laughing of sat single mother cat .

Sorry, but what does this machine does? What's the big deal about it and the company that builds it?

still using the Russian institute invented/supplied tin laser

Silly question, but why are the wafers round instead of square or rectangles? Less wasted space that way, no?

😀

We are at the beginning of infinity. I’m in constant awe of BUILDERS

Would be cool if they could do that at 2nm.

How/why do you think this helps yield? It does improve productivity and thereby the cost per wafer significantly.

Changing the light source power will probably never result in "yield" improvements, but it might contribute to other processes which MAY improve marginal yield paretos.

the Chinese apparently have the blueprints already

Nice try. It's fvcked.

Wow

Crazy what kind of things you can do by beaming tin drops incredibly accurately

At this point it's just magic,how they work and synchronise each and every motion with light.

This is big news.

So bullish
