Big ideas need more than just inspiration – they demand determination, commitment, focus and the right support to see them through. Decades ago, we had help getting started in the semiconductor industry. Now, we're paying it forward. 💪 Here's how we're empowering tech startups and scaleups to grow and succeed. 🚀

Today's vehicles don't just get you from A to B - they're actually advanced computers on wheels, and there's an entire world of microchips making it all happen. From powering central computing cores with high processing capacity to handling intensive real-time actions, semiconductors are shaping the future of mobility and redefining what cars can do. 🚘

Do you know what makes your devices think and remember? 💡 http://ms.spr.ly/6042U8zvi In this episode of ASML Nanoland, ASMLer Sabil explores the two major chip families – Logic and Memory – that power everything from smart homes to gaming consoles. Discover how these chips keep your tech running at its best.

🤓 Time to geek out! Here are 3 mind-blowing analogies about High NA EUV – the next generation of EUV lithography: 📖 With an 8-nanometer imaging resolution, the High NA EUV system is so precise it could print the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy 7,000 times on the side of an A4 sheet of paper. 🏎️ The system’s reticle stage accelerates at 32 g, the equivalent of an F1 race car going from 0 to 100 km/h in just 0.09 seconds. 🌍 The special mirrors inside a High NA EUV system are so meticulously engineered that, if you scaled it to the size of the Earth, their largest imperfection would be no larger than the thickness of a playing card. Big shoutout to ZEISS Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology for making this next-level precision possible! What real-world analogy would you use to describe High NA EUV? 💡

What's the secret to faster, more powerful microchips? It's all about shrink. Printing smaller chip features means chipmakers can squeeze more transistors onto a chip – and that improves performance, functionality and energy efficiency. CD, or critical dimension, measures a lithography system's ability to deliver shrink. Learn about how we use physics to engineer our lithography systems and push the limits of CD. 🔎👇

A chip is a tiny skyscraper. And as these skyscrapers grow increasingly complex and their features continue to shrink, crafting each one accurately becomes more challenging – and more crucial. One way we tackle this challenge is with computational lithography: models and algorithms instilled with our fundamental understanding of lithography that predict how a chip pattern will appear on a wafer. Chipmakers use the insights from our computational lithography tools to shape the light passing through their lithography systems – at the mask, the source and the pupil – so it produces the best possible image on the wafer. It’s all part of our holistic strategy to keep powering technology forward with you.

How do billions of transistors work together to create a chip? 🤯 http://ms.spr.ly/6001osqcF Microchips are the powerhouses behind modern technologies, from our smartphones to AI. In the latest episode of ASML Nanoland, ASMLer Sabil explains how these tiny ‘brains’ perform everything from basic logic functions to advanced computations. Watch now!
