Market Chatter: ASML Researchers Say New Technology Could Boost Chip Output by 50%

MT Newswires Live02-23 23:20

ASML (ASML) researchers said they have boosted the power of light source in its extreme ultraviolet lithography machines to 1,000 watts from 600 watts, Reuters reported Monday.

The discovery could enable chipmakers to produce up to 50% more chips by the end of the decade, the report said.

The more powerful light source is expected to allow shorter exposure times when printing chips, increasing production and lowering per-chip costs, according to the report.

Customers could process about 330 silicon wafers per hour on each EUV machine by 2030, up from roughly 220 currently, Reuters reported.

Shares of ASML were up over 1% in recent Monday trading.
