ASML

Our lithography systems use optics to steer light from chip blueprints to silicon wafers. ⚡ One of the keys to efficient patterning? Making sure as much light as possible makes it through the optics to the wafer by maximizing optical transmission.

We are pleased to sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with CEA-Leti to deepen our collaboration and accelerate innovation in mainstream semiconductor technologies. 🎉 Leti, based in Grenoble, France, has been our customer for many years, with multiple ASML systems installed on-site and a long history of driving breakthrough semiconductor research with global industry partners. Their role in the ecosystem is unique: By working closely with major technology companies and equipment manufacturers, they help define future technology requirements, test new concepts on advanced toolsets and translate early-stage innovation into manufacturable solutions. This collaborative model speeds up the creation of new intellectual property (IP) and moves ideas from research to industry adoption. After achieving promising technical results together in hybrid bonding, we are now broadening our work to focus on the next wave of mainstream, or ‘More-than-Moore’ technologies. This includes advanced technologies on novel substrates such as SiC, GaN photonics materials, heterogeneous integration and other segments that are becoming essential for future electronic systems. Leti’s strong roadmap and deep understanding of these emerging domains, combined with our lithography expertise, will help us better understand the capabilities, performance knobs and future system requirements needed to enable these technologies at scale. This collaboration will also support tighter feedback loops between research insights and ASML system development. Together, we aim to accelerate progress in mainstream semiconductor technologies and help shape the next generation of ‘More-than-Moore’ solutions for future applications.

We're proud to announce we’ve officially opened our new campus in Hwaseong, South Korea. By investing in a region with major customers and a strong employee base, we deepen our commitment to supporting the semiconductor industry in South Korea and providing an exceptional workplace for our people. The campus brings together two building clusters including a reuse and repair center and a dedicated training center to strengthen collaboration and skills development. Partners and officials joined us for the opening ceremony to mark this new chapter.

Wafers may look simple, but their unique properties are key to making microchips work. Ever wondered about the substrate that forms the foundation of the technology in your hands? Take a closer look at where it all begins.

What does belonging look like at ASML? 🤔 You can see it in how we listen to one another, learn from different perspectives and work together across cultures and teams. During our internal global Inclusion and Diversity Month, ASMLers worldwide showed that when inclusion is part of how we work, it brings out the best in all of us. ✨

At ASML, our innovation is powered by collaboration. Discover how our unique blend of worldwide teamwork and specialized local knowledge fuels cutting-edge lithography solutions and supports our customers wherever they are. 🌎

Unlocking new technology means pushing the limits of what optics can do. Two key ASML technologies, immersion lithography and High NA EUV, took lithography performance to the next level. They may look different, but they use the same underlying principle: increasing numerical aperture.
