ASML is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of chip-making equipment. Headquartered in Veldhoven, the Netherlands, ASML employs more than 16,500 people.
Thanks to a unique modular design, ASML systems can be easily tailored through enhanced packages.
In addition, you can readily increase the performance of existing machines – greatly extending their lifetimes as technology nodes advance. Our upgrade packages offer a cost-effective path to improving the overall value of your scanners, often providing a quick return on investment.
In the competitive semiconductor market, you need to get the maximum value from your investments in equipment. That means having the right capabilities and capacity available at the right time and for the right price.
ASML systems are designed to help you achieve just that. Our common TWINSCAN platform features a unique modular design that allows specific functionality to be easily added. We offer a wide range of system enhancements covering productivity, imaging, overlay, focus and automation. In addition, we’re continually developing new technology to extend the capabilities of our lithography solutions.
Tailor your machine to your needsThose same modules are also available to enhance the capabilities of your existing machines, extending their working lifetimes by as much as 40% – or 1 to 2 technology nodes. Our upgrades not only help you migrate to new technology nodes more quickly, they also help you improve your profitability for existing product lines by increasing product performance and the number of good die per wafer.
Furthermore, the modular TWINSCAN platform enables quicker and easier installation of upgrades, reducing your downtime. This helps to minimize the time it takes to see a return on your investment in the upgrade. In fact, many customers find they have recouped the cost of the upgrade within months.
