ASML’s $400M chipmaking machine just shipped its first laptop processors
AI Today Summary
ASML's $400 million High NA EUV lithography machine has been used for the first time in volume manufacturing of Intel's Panther Lake laptop processors, which are based on the Intel 18A node. This technology, originally planned for a later node, allows higher resolution patterning in fewer steps, potentially reducing costs and improving precision. However, the layers patterned by High NA are also qualified for older machines, indicating the new tool is currently supplementing existing processes.
