company met : ASML and Kollmorgen
Since we have a surging demand and limited supply on chip. Is ASML able to fill in the gap?
we make the light sources that the chip companies use to make chips
so they need to fill in the gaps, but we sure help!
(yes, the semiconductor shortage has a very positive impact on AMSL)
If we’ve got an ongoing chip shortage for an extended period of time, that means those [electric] vehicles can’t get built, and they can’t get sold, and we continue to have more older vehicles staying on the road longer, how can we tackle this issue? we provide the new technology they use (and don’t have) for microchip patterning
our bread and butter is EUV technology, look into it
there are tons of opportunities to develop new things (code, hardware) at ASML
What does ASML stand out from their rivals Samsung, Intel and TSMC?
What new inventions can we look forward from ASML?
sure, but since we will run out of time I would encourage you to google these things: For San Diego: “EUV Source” , “droplet generator” , “Tin catch” and for wilton connecticut: “wafer stage” and “reticle handler” these are the technologies each site works on for hardware. I can tell you we get the rare opportunity to do “white board to hardware” cycles
