"They're not resting on their laurels," said Miller, adding that the company's new machine will allow even more specific etchings on silicon chips. They cost around $140 million each, according to reports. The platform will offer significant defect, cost and cycle time reductions."įor context, each of the current EUV machines reportedly has over 100,000 components, and they take 40 freight containers or four jumbo jets to ship. "This will be a strong motivation for them to adopt the technology. "With this platform, customers will reduce the numbers of process steps," the spokesperson continued. They added that the High NA machine has a higher resolution that will enable 1.7x smaller chip features and 2.9x increased chip density. "It includes a novel optics design and requires significantly faster stages," an ASML spokesperson told CNBC. High NA is set to be even bigger, more expensive and more complicated than ASML's current EUV machine. It employs over 31,000 employees across the Netherlands, the United States, South Korea, Taiwan and mainland China. It is the biggest tech company in Europe by market value and one of the biggest in the world. Today, ASML is valued at $329 billion, and some tech investors expect it to be worth $500 billion by the end of 2022. Called ASM Lithography, the company began its work inauspiciously - in a shed next to a Philips office in Eindhoven. NA stands for numerical aperture.ĪSML was born in 1984 when electronics giant Philips and chip-machine manufacturer Advanced Semiconductor Materials International decided to create a new company to develop lithography systems for the growing semiconductor industry. But there's a new version of the EUV machine in the pipeline, dubbed High NA, that could allow chipmakers to build even more sophisticated chips to power the next generation of electronic devices.
