Deep News02-23 23:01

Researchers at ASML Holding NV have revealed a method to increase the light source power of critical chip manufacturing equipment, a breakthrough that could enhance chip production by up to 50% by 2030. Michael Purvis, the chief technology expert for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light sources at ASML, stated in an interview that this is not a temporary demonstration but a fully functional system capable of delivering 1,000 watts under the same conditions required by customers. The newly disclosed technological advancement, announced on Monday, is intended to help ASML widen its lead over potential competitors by improving one of the most challenging aspects of its equipment. The company's researchers have successfully developed a way to increase EUV light source power from the current 600 watts to 1,000 watts. According to Teun Van Gogh, executive vice president in charge of ASML's NXE series EUV equipment, by the end of this decade, customers will be able to process approximately 330 silicon wafers per hour per machine, up from the current rate of 220 wafers.
