    I believe a short history lesson is called for here. ASML bought out a company called Silicon Valley Group (SVG), which had previously purchased the Microlithography division from Perkin-Elmer who had originally developed the technology in Wilton Connecticut, USA. How do I know this? I worked for SVG for 11 years, and my father worked for all 3 corporations for 46 years, and was one of the research and development engineers who made it all happen. In fact, my father was one of the physicists who cracked the deep UV problem in the 90's while working for SVG in Wilton, CT. The manufacturing facilities are continuing to operate in Wilton Connecticut, USA where most of the R&D still occurs.

    For an explanation of how the photolithography works, basically:
    1. 300mm wafer is put on a chuck, it is held down by suction.
    2. a photosensitive chemical is laid down. The thickness is determined by pour rate and rpm of spinning wafer which distributes and sheds any excess.
    3. quick bake of photosensitive chemical.
    4. loaded into photolithog machine. The ones I used were Nikons. But I remember having ASMLs next door. A UV light is generated using mercury arc lamps, the image is shrunk a different amount, (2x, 4, 5x) using a lens. The image is serially burned into the wafer, called step and repeat. This is why you see the same pattern on the wafer.
    5. Once done the wafer has its images developed. I remember using HMDS hexamethadisilazane (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bis(trimethylsilyl)amine). Then I believe it is baked again.
    6. then off to CMP(cold metal polish), where they grind off the excess to expose either the circuit wires or the spaces those wires will go.
    There were many layers to the chips, each one requiring the blue print of the circuit to be photolithogged on. the circuit layers had a M prefix, like M1, M2 etc, interconnecting(so perpendicular to the chip surface would be called V1, V2 etc (for via, road in latin), then there were random names for the n-wells and p-wells.
    20 years ago or so I worked at an IBM 200mm line in Vermont. Since then it has been bought by the middle eastern fab company called Global Semiconductor. I still remember enough to explain it apparently but forgot enough to not remember the trauma of working 12 hour shifts lol.
    PS Nikon was a competitor

      that is the theory. In Practice to do it is a completely different story. My PhD Thesis in antiferromagnetic domains studied by PEEM using synchrotron light was based on one sample. I have produced 70. But all but one were completely useless. I new the exact conditions how it was produced. Or did I? that is the difference between theoretically knowing how to do something and actually doing it. Working on a production line does not make you an expert in the technology.

      Actually, it's the CO2 laser from TRUMPF you're describing; it's not an EUV laser. This laser shoots each tin droplet twice, first to flatten the drop and increase it's surface area then again to energize the tin and cause it to release EUV photons. These photons are then in turn mirrored onward. These lasers also are not inside the actual machine like the NXE but are sent from an outside beam tube. The CO2 laser itself is another $50M behemoth.

Most of the automotive and general appliance use typically 28 nanometer technology because it's much cheaper and especially because it's much more robust in a variety of harsh environment.

      For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
      John 3:16-21
      16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
      Mark 1.15
      15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
      2 Peter 3:9
      The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
      Hebrews 11:6
      6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
      Jesus

    Fun fact:
    Part of ASML's earlier success came from (allegedly) violating Nikon patents (Nikon was the previous leader in high end lithography equipment). Nikon ultimately settled several lawsuits for what now seems like a small amount, but they do effectively get royalties from some of ASML's activities.

      False. The first lithography techniques were developed in the USA. Japan miniaturized chip PCBs into microchips, but the most advanced lithography techniques are developed inhouse in ASML's labs.
      Furthermore the founder of the first lithography machines, Philips, droped what was linked to that business long ago since they were a multirole company, from home appliances to medical machines, and what's important is what came after, which no one is able to copy even after a decade - the EUV machines every silicon foundries use to make the chip in your phone. Next step will be X-Ray lithography and this will imply using even harder to work with materials and ingenuity in building X-Ray "mirrors".

    The photolithography machines manufactured by ASML are used in the production of computer chips. In these machines, patterns are optically imaged onto a silicon wafer that is covered with a film of light-sensitive material (photoresist). This procedure is repeated dozens of times on a single wafer. The photoresist is then further processed to create the actual electronic circuits on the silicon. The optical imaging that ASML's machines deal with is used in the fabrication of nearly all integrated circuits, and as of 2010, ASML has 67 percent of the worldwide sales of lithography machines,[3] with the competition consisting of Ultratech, Canon and Nikon.
