Software plays an important role at ASML and can be found throughout our product portfolio. Without our software solutions, it would be impossible for chipmakers to manufacture increasingly advanced and energy-efficient chips.

Working in software at ASML

More than 3,000 software engineers create solutions that allow us to run, measure and optimize our lithography machines and to streamline chipmakers’ manufacturing processes.

 

Collaboration is key – at ASML, we encourage each other to speak up and contribute, relying on our diverse backgrounds and perspectives to arrive at the best solutions.

Java

At ASML, we use Java to develop tools that give chipmakers insight into their manufacturing process. Java is also used in diagnostic tools that help our customer support engineers keep our machines running in fabs around the world.

C++

Our C++ code base is a highly portable and multi-layered system that keeps pace with the chip-making industry and enables us to deep-dive into novel problems.

Software in our technology

Where can you make a difference at ASML?

 

Software can be found throughout our product portfolio – it’s in our EUV (extreme ultraviolet) and DUV (deep ultraviolet) lithography machines, our metrology & inspection systems, and is part of computational lithography. ASML also develops tailored software solutions designed to help our customers optimize the complex chip manufacturing process that takes place in their fabs. Taken together, the software in our ‘holistic’ lithography portfolio helps chipmakers to achieve the highest yield and best performance in mass production.

 

We also use machine learning to speed up the simulation and manufacturing process, and our data scientists generate valuable insights from the vast amounts of data that our machines produce.
