ASML 1000W light source to deliver 330wph EUV processing by 2030
ASML has developed a 1000W light source which should increase the throughput of its high-NA EUV machine from 220wph to 330wph by 2030. The advance has been achieved by doubling the rate at which the molten tin drops in an EUV machine are exposed to a CO₂ laser beam to create plasma that emits EUV radiation. By doubling the droplet ...
