[ASML promotes the upgrade of new generation lithography machines and targets the large data center chip market] On September 8, ASML stated that it plans to cooperate with major customers to develop new solutions that can produce the most advanced chip manufacturing equipment to meet the needs of large data center chips designed by Nvidia and other companies. The widely used extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machine currently produced by ASML can produce chips with an area of ​​up to about 800 square millimeters. ASML's upcoming next-generation "high numerical aperture" EUV lithography machine can produce more sophisticated chips. However, due to its use of smaller mask sizes, it is currently limited in the area of ​​manufacturable chips. ASML plans to demonstrate a pilot production line using larger-sized masks by 2031 and make this new technology capable of large-scale mass production by 2033.
