Making advanced chips requires more than advanced lithography. It takes metrology, inspection and computational lithography working together – from R&D to high-volume manufacturing – to keep chipmaking economical. That’s holistic lithography. Watch the animation for more. 👇

If $MU confirms tomorrow that DRAM, NAND and HBM tightness can last into 2027 or 2028 then memory companies have more reason to keep spending on capacity and advanced manufacturing tools. That matters for $ASML because it sits at the most important equipment layer of the semiconductor supply chain where more advanced memory capacity means more demand for lithography systems.

Our extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography systems print features just 13 nm wide – orders of magnitude smaller than the letters in even the densest books – because that’s the level of detail and complexity needed to make today’s advanced chips a reality.

‼️U.S. Commerce Secretary Lutnick is concerned one of ASML's lithography chipmaking machines may have ended up in China. ASML's extreme ultraviolet lithography machines cost around $370 million and take multiple 747s to transport. ASML denies the allegation, saying it has never shipped an EUV machine to China.

Here are 20 companies that will dominate the AI age: 1/ ASML $ASML is revolutionizing the semiconductor industry by enabling chipmakers to produce the world’s most advanced processors with atomic-scale precision. Shrinking transistors to fit more power into smaller chips faces fundamental physical limits. The industry struggled with escalating costs, slower innovation cycles, and diminishing returns from older lithography methods. With $ASML, the process is radically different, its extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machines use cutting-edge optics and physics to etch circuitry at the nanometer scale, enabling faster, more energy-efficient, and more powerful chips. This breakthrough is the backbone of progress in AI, cloud computing, smartphones, and virtually every advanced technology. As AI spreads to all aspects of our economies, an ever-growing number of chips is needed, driving demand for ASML machines and maintenance services.

Chips are like tiny skyscrapers that can have more than 100 layers. The lowest, most critical layers form the transistors, while upper layers route power and signals. For chipmakers, choosing the right lithography for each layer is key to balancing precision and cost.

A new startup claims it can make chips at sub-nanometer scales in a single exposure at roughly half the cost. Instead of high-NA EUV lithography, they’re using X-ray lithography. EUV prints features through multiple complex steps. This approach would effectively stamp the pattern in one shot. If it works at scale, it would be quite remarkable! We need more companies in the industry where TSMC and Samsung basically dominates.

This retard claims india is surpassing China in lithography technology.😆 It reminds me of the legion of moronic indians back in 2007 claiming they will close the gap and surpass China in 3 to 5 years. This BBC segment was made in 2007: A note on lithography machines; China's DUV lithography machines are already being used, while EUV lithography machines are conducting trials in our fabs. Meanwhile indians celebrate buying machines they do not even know how to maintain. Yes, if ASML machines needs maintenance, the standard practice is for Western engineers to shoo the indians out of the room and do it behind closed doors.

These machines don’t look like they build the future of AI. But they do. What you are seeing is not an industrial robot just move. It is part of the process that makes the world’s most advanced chips possible. TRUMPF laser systems are used to manufacture key components for ASML’s EUV lithography machines. ❗️Without this step, modern AI hardware would simply not exist. • They machine parts with nanometer-level precision • They enable the optics and components needed for EUV lithography • Their stability directly affects chip yield and quality • No TRUMPF lasers, no ASML EUV. No EUV, no advanced AI chips. It is easy to focus on GPUs and models. But the real bottleneck sits much deeper in the industrial stack. —- Weekly robotics and AI insights. Subscribe free:

British man in China couldn't be more excited by how "amazing" and "advanced" it is to be able to pay for things with a biometric palm scan. 🤦‍♂️ "It is the most advanced technology in the world. It's more advanced than facial recognition. It's more advanced than fingerprints. It's amazing!"
