ASML is a high-tech company, headquartered in the Netherlands. We manufacture the complex lithography machines that chipmakers use to produce integrated circuits, or computer chips. Over 30 years, we have grown from a small startup into a multinational company with over 60 locations across Europe, Asia and the US.

Behind ASML’s innovations are engineers who think ahead. The people who work at our company include some of the most creative minds in physics, electrical engineering, mathematics, chemistry, mechatronics, optics, mechanical engineering, computer science and software engineering.  

Because ASML spends more than €2 billion per year on R&D, our teams have the freedom, support and resources to experiment, test and push the boundaries of technology. They work in close-knit, multidisciplinary teams, listening to and learning from each other.

How do you control a layer of water between our lithography system’s optics and a fast-moving silicon wafer? Immersion lithography is a key innovation inside our DUV systems that helps enable leading-edge process nodes. 

Find out how a puddle of water 💧 and a eureka moment during a tech conference inspired the invention of the backbone of the semiconductor industry today.

What do molten tin, vaporizing lasers, mirrors and a vacuum have in common? No, they're not parts of a spaceship – they're the building blocks of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. 

This technology is behind the latest generation of microchips powering today’s top-end devices. The next evolution of EUV, called high-numerical-aperture or High-NA, is set to debut in 2025. Our colleague, Jan Van Schoot, explains the basics of this technology and why it’s important to the semiconductor industry: http://ms.spr.ly/60459DulH

🚨 BREAKING: we just reported our Q2 2023 financial results! 👇 https://lnkd.in/eDpnVXTw
 
📈 Our Q2 net sales came in at €6.9 billion, at the high end of our guidance, with a gross margin of 51.3%, higher than guided, primarily driven by additional DUV immersion revenue in the quarter.
 
📊 Our customers across different market segments are currently more cautious due to continued macro-economic uncertainties, and therefore expect a later recovery of their markets. Also, the shape of the recovery slope is still unclear. 
 
⚙️ However, our strong backlog of around €38 billion provides us with a good basis to navigate these short-term uncertainties.
 
📈 Due to strong DUV revenue and despite the increased uncertainties, ASML expects strong growth for 2023 with a net sales increase towards 30% and a slight improvement in gross margin, relative to 2022.

Our 5,000 suppliers are an important part of our success.

From building our lithography machines to logistics, operations and more, we rely on our suppliers to help us innovate and continue pushing technology forward. That's why we're committed to growing these relationships to ensure a healthy, robust supply chain.

After a fierce match against Tech United on Sunday, our ASML Falcons clinched the silver medal in the 2023 Robocup final in Bordeaux, France. 🤖 

Congratulations to the TU/e team on their world championship victory. As their neighbor, we enjoyed witnessing their outstanding display of talent, skills and innovation. 

We look forward to seeing all the teams again at next year’s edition in our very own Eindhoven! ⚽ http://ms.spr.ly/6044g06Ms

ASML was founded in 1984 as a joint venture between ASM and Philips. Last month, 50 retired ASML employees visited ASM, where we discussed ASM’s latest technological developments and celebrated our shared focus on innovation and collaboration. 

With a common Dutch origin and a unified goal of advancing Moore’s Law for the upcoming decades, we look forward to ASM’s future with excitement and best wishes.

We’re proud to announce that we’ll be intensifying our collaboration with nanoelectronics leader imec to develop a state-of-the-art high-numerical aperture (High-NA) EUV pilot line.

This pilot line is intended to help industries using semiconductor technologies better understand the future opportunities lying within and gain access to a prototyping platform to supercharge their innovations. With many of our key partners involved, this collaboration will enable the exploration of novel semiconductor applications, the potential development of sustainable, leading-edge manufacturing solutions for chip makers and end users, as well as the creation of advanced holistic patterning flows as a joint effort with the wider equipment and material ecosystem.
