Key features & benefits

The TWINSCAN NXE:3400C is the successor of the NXE:3400B and will support EUV volume production at the 7 and 5 nm nodes at a higher productivity.

Combining high productivity, excellent image resolution, matched overlay to EUV NXE and ArFi NXT tools and focus performance, the TWINSCAN NXE:3400C provides lithography capability complementary to ASML’s ArFi technology. Improvements on the EUV source industrialization, overlay, focus and productivity enable a robust solution for cost-effective volume production starting in the second half of 2019.

01. Productivity
