    They are talking about the low NA EUV tool which is quite pricey in its own right at $200 million. They are working on hyper NA EUV next… At $724 million.

    I’m just happy I work on trailing edge steppers and scanners. Those are complex enough that reading about the EUV machines makes me sick to think about having to perform any maintainence on them.

      I’ve worked around an ancient (32nm) lithography machine, it may as well be alien technology as far as maintenance is concerned.

      It’s very much a ‘the light is on, something broke. call the machine priests’ kind of situation.
