ASML's EUV production has increased from 22 units in 2019 to 42 units in 2021
Dec 09, 2022| According to The Elec, ASML recently announced at the 2022 Semiconductor EUV Ecosystem Global Conference that the number of EUV devices produced by ASML has increased from 22 in 2019 to 42 in 2021 and is expected to exceed 50 this year. Production will increase further next year. An initial version of the High-NA EUV device will be available by the end of next year, with a production model in late 2024 or early 2025.
In its third-quarter earnings announcement on October 19, ASML said: "In the EUV High-NA business, ASML has received additional orders for TWINSCAN EXE:5200; All EUV customers have now submitted High-NA orders." The High-NA EUV device is a device that increases the numerical aperture (NA) of the lens with light-gathering capability from 0.33 to 0.55. Processing more refined semiconductor circuits than existing EUV devices. Most in the industry agree that High-NA equipment is essential for 2nm processes.
