Products

Selected offerings — the AI products recorded here, not the vendor's full catalogue.

• ASML DUV lithography systems Hardware

  Deep-ultraviolet scanners, dry and immersion, that pattern the majority of layers on a chip.

• ASML EUV lithography systems Hardware

  Extreme-ultraviolet lithography machines used to print the leading-edge nodes most AI accelerators are made on.

• ASML metrology and inspection systems Hardware

  Measures and inspects wafers between process steps so defects are caught before they reach a finished die.

• ASML refurbished lithography systems Hardware

  ASML reconditions and resells older PAS 5500 and TWINSCAN XT/NXT DUV lithography systems with a new warranty and extended-lifetime support.
