Using a wavelength of just 13.5 nm (almost x-ray range), ASML’s extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography technology can do big things on a tiny scale. EUV drives Moore’s Law forward and supports novel transistor designs and chip architectures.

If you have a relatively new smartphone, one of the latest gaming consoles or a smart watch, it’s likely you’ve benefited directly from EUV lithography technology.

Leading-edge microchips contain billions of transistors. With each new generation (often referred to as a ‘node’), chipmakers pack in ever more and tinier transistors to make the chips more powerful, faster and energy efficient.
