DUV Lithography Systems
ASML's deep ultraviolet (DUV) lithography systems dive deep into the UV spectrum to print the tiny features that form the basis of the microchip.

Immersion systems are the workhorses of the industry. Our latest NXT machines have shown the ability to run in excess of 6,000 wafers per day, with an average five percent productivity increase over 12 months, supporting our customers' value requirements. We continue to innovate our immersion systems to meet the requirements of future nodes, benefiting from commonalities in R&D with our EUV program, while ensuring the platform’s extendibility through System Node Enhancement Package upgrades. Thanks to these packages, any NXT system can be upgraded to the latest technology.

Chips are made up of many layers stacked on top of one another, and it’s not necessarily the latest and greatest immersion lithography machines that are used to produce these layers. In a given chip, there may be one or two more complicated layers that are made using an EUV lithography machine, but the rest can often be printed using ‘older’ technology such as dry lithography systems. This is certainly more cost-effective for customers, since these older machines are less expensive to purchase and maintain. Read about how dry lithography systems are enabling progress.
