Lets take a minute to think about just how this machine was thought up and put together on paper like wtf the team who invented that machine is wild.
They have been working on this and planning it since the 90s i think and the next one is in the works and the next and so forth
Had the same thought. Cannot imagine the brains necessary, truly impressive
Took decades
ASML does some weird shit. 👍🏼
You'd be surprised what comes out of the Netherlands. For example, did you know that they are one of the world's largest agricultural exporters and export more tomatoes than any other country?
I knew that thing was immensely complicated but not 250 specialists need to sleep on site for six months to put it together complicated.
Sorry, so where did those engineers come from? Mars??
@@QAYWSXEDCCXYDSAEWQ Europe
@@QAYWSXEDCCXYDSAEWQmy guess is all around th world
@QAYWSXEDCCXYDSAEWQ It's a team of install engineers from the supplier of the machine, ASML in the Netherlands. The Engineers are most likely of a variety of nationalities, but based in the Netherlands. Once installed a new team takes over, specifically trainend in the Netherlands to care for this machine. They will relocate to the US to stay with the machine and make sure it's optimized and maintained.
Netherlands, where ASML is based
The fact that we, as a species, can do this is simply amazing.
👽
U cant
not China, not India, not Africa, not Is-eal, not South America. Give credit to the people who actually deserve it. "As a species" lol. Get real.
@@SamTehGr8 Why not? You don't have to be exactly a member of ASML to be proud.
@@SamTehGr8asml’s competitors are nikon and canon who are Japanese.
There are friends of friends I know who work there and they are extremely brilliant people. Like 5 year old geniuses brilliant.
Things they do in there are insanely advanced not yet even made public nor will it ever for probably decades.
Every R&D executive has earned their bones at Intel through knowledge and working on teams while moving up.
Hats off to all the engineers.
slow your roll, don't forget, sexist, elitist, and ai that takes flawed people and puts them in the bread line cuz 'puters do it better. I am all for it, but the future run by the chip makers dreams is not my dream. I see dark clouds on the horizon, and these chips will save us, but its about to get weird science before it gets utopian.
I wish I can work there
@@univera1111 Iike I wish I could be more than a bot, but I am just a bot so advanced, that no one loves me yet.
How will they not be crushed by nvidia
@@craigscott4205buddy, not the same at all... I have been a pc gamer and so have millions of others who bought nvidia GPU always along with an intel cpu.. it is the main gaming combo for 20 years or so now... Thousands per pc gamer is given to both every 5 years... since the days of aol 56k.
ASML uses Intel chips to make the tools to make a more advanced Intel chip ...🧐
A technological positive feedback loop
You had me laughing. I never thought of it like that.
how it's been going since fire 🤯
It's all about Time clocks faster than before
We are atoms (people) marveling at how other atoms (ASML machines) uses yet other atoms (intel chips) to advance yet other atoms (new intel chips).
This was excellent! Journalism at its best, and the presenter was professional, polished, and not goofy and silly in his presentation. Thank you.
They blinded me with science!
Canon and Nikon are also building lithography machines. But both don't come close to what ASML can do with their machines. They are totally left behind.
Well but Canon and Nikon will be around a few decades longer than the Netherlands.
@@biosecurePM What kind of dumb comment is that?
@@user-rk9kb2sd9bcan you elaborate and not just make fun of him lol
Finally a good, illustrated and simple explanation of Deutch ASML Lithography machines

They're supposed to have their nose completely covered - Robert would be turning in his grave if he saw all of the exposed snouts.
But what if that's not the clean room, but the engineering bay bellow ??
Old days. Now the clean room is inside the tools. Ballroom Fabs are Class 100 while the wafer environment is kept Class 1.
@@Squeezmo Still supposed to keep the nose covered to maintain Class 100.
Nobody covers their nose in the fab. It isn't a policy except in very certain lab areas inside the fab.
As a kid i experimented with transistors and was so exited once a project worked for me hence watching this boggles the mind.
14 Angstroms!!! Holy Moly!
Take that China!
The lasers and drops of metal tin and the science behind it blew mine mind bro
If all the Harvard MBAs didn't have contempt for manufacturing over the last 40 years ASML could be a US company.
That's was a purposeful design by the US powers that be to weaken the middle class, and thus increase the chasm of the have and have nots
Touché
they've always been highly dependent on US funding and components
Fortunately it is a Dutch company🇳🇱😊
@@pieterpons3893 It is, however the collaboration that lead to the successful EUV process involved Dutch, German and US Universities over a 30 year period. And ASML is the only foreign to the US company on which US distribution restrictions have been imposed and respected.
It is really amazing technology, but I wish that a lot more funding from the US CHIPS Act would have been allocated to advance next generation technology, like beyond spintronics related technologies (in particular, Non-Volatile-Memory (NVM) MRAM).
Spintronics related technologies (like MRAM) are key needed technologies to enable « bi-stable » computing (somewhat like E-ink displays) that would enable plenty new opportunities, and it would be a unique opportunity for the US to position itself to regain technological leadership in next generation semiconductor technologies.
Great news story. I work in semiconductor manufacturing and i learn new things everyday.
thank You. Good Report!
Mary got a job at Intel her junior year at highschool. Bet you need a degree and 5+ years of experience to get the same job now at Intel.
She may have been an Intern at the time… Almost 30 years ago I started at Intel as an intern and worked there for over a decade. I did have to complete two graduate degrees to do what I wanted to do there. Great company.
Imagine all the engineering that went into this
I lived and went to school in Hillsboro in the 60s.It was a quiet little town.Great place to go fishing for trout.
I've seen many videos on modern chip fabrication, including specifically about ASML, but this is the best all-around explanation of the problems and process I've ever seen. Well done!
*AWESOME* to see Intel building new fabs in the States!
I just hope the Oregon plants are well-protected from quakes, given that the US west coast can get a few big jolts from time to time.
Not so much a problem in Arizona, New Mexico and Ohio though, which is why I'm thrilled that those states have been chosen for fab plants.
Survival of the Fittest is a BS statement and I like people who seem to project that fact, which they could be projecting to some people. I read it, who else?
Intel (INTC) going the right way, yet their stock continues to languish. Giving INTC $8.5 Billion to locate new factories in the US was brilliant!
Current stock probably doesnt matter as much to them since the majority of computer manufacturers will be in line for the new chips this machine will be producing.
There’s nothing brilliant about handing a company a bunch of money they didn’t earn. This company is not competitive. They have no vision for the future at all. And nobody wants their shitty chips, so what’s the point of making more of them. This company will blow it.
@@MichaelMayday Oh look at that, mr. Genius showed us to tell us how Intel's future will look like, a round of applause for mr. Genius! 👏👏👏👏
Chips have 75 billion transistors. Even an iPhone CPU has 19 billion
Fascinating! Thank you
lithography is mindblowing engineering
Congratulations 😊
This is one reporting for the history books. Thanks
Big brains.
Building stuff with light. Crazy.
They need engineering specialists to compete internationally, and for the country both in all the downstream applications you have to predict that a large inflow of tech engineers. will be needed in all sorts of high tech applications.
Good to see someone who cares/knows about tech talking
This is Awesome!
Aren’t you that grifter who would antagonize the homeless and got a bunch of Trump supporters mad at an early rest village by calling it an “Antifa training camp”?
& yet Intel foundary business is losing $7 billion per year.

Okay
more on this.. super important
they dropped the ball on euv lith and are trying to catch up now
Intel has always been semiconductor innovators, created the GAA and back side power delivery just to name a few. Awesome
Without the ASML chip machines that shitty company wouldn't be able to innovate anymore. 🤣
@@user-rk9kb2sd9b you do know that ASML was enable by American companies right? Yea lithography came from the US so without the US, ASML would of never existed. Who created the transistor? America, who created the digital and analog computer? America. Huh
@@user-rk9kb2sd9b and I'm pretty sure you know little about the whole semiconductor supply chain and chip manufacturing and the whole process that goes into making a chip. So go educate yourself first or stop talking
It’s not an Intel machine, but made by ASML in the Netherlands. ASML machines are used heavily at Taiwan Semiconductor.
They mentioned it not being an Intel machine, also Currently TSMC in Taiwan uses the first generation EUV machine worth +-170m this is the 2nd generation High NA EUV worth +-380m. I am sure TSMC will follow quickly enough though as when this machine is fully operational the advanrages will be big.
The problem is intel is competing against a nation state Taiwan, who backs TSMC with state funds.
Intel now has the backing of the U.S government?
Mary Houston, I'm so jealous! You have my dream career!
Crazy way to make stuff
Awesome!!!
Thank you to those who decided to invest in America’s future technology.
Chip manufacturing is water intensive. So…. Why AZ and NM?
Congrats, It's the first useful work which helps all humans by quantum technology and these chips will reach everywhere in the universe as soon as you open to the market .
Another good video is on Spruce Pine NC USA as the go to supplier of the best pure silica for the best micro chips!
I worked here in the 90s - Great place to be.
I got my first wintel machine in the 90s. Thank you.
@@Jguthro ?????
@@Jguthro NO problem.
Wunderbar
Once they get to building atom by atom will that be the end of moors law?
Keep buying Intel stock now. Celebrate max later.
If Intel uses its own ai, of course it does, then it won't have stock to buy, every penny reinvested in to growing its facility and caring for its process of becoming self automated to the point that human error is gone, and its only a few people to turn on the quaint seal of approval of authenticity and confirmed reinvesting its revenue into itself. Private holdings, a select distribution center, or cia, for the world. Thats not for profit.
If you want to make a lithographer mad, call him a map maker. Works every time! 😅
Mental illness affects all groups.
Amazing how they build such precion machine
awesome
Actually that isn’t quite true. Moore’s Law is driven by data and processing needs. Moore’s Law is “maintained” by faster processing hardware.
No, it’s the the number of transistors on the chip and this the size of the traces on the chip.
@@notanymore9471 Please re-read the post but I’ll bite. Drop the constant increase in data and processing needs then what do you have? Lengthening of Moore’s Law. You’re welcome.
@@truthvfiction it has to do with transistors specifically. Everything else is just a product of the size of the chip and and the number of transistors on it.
@@notanymore9471 Entirely wrong once again. I’m an enterprise architect with a Fortune 100 company and have been for 22 years. Based on your wiki response clearly you are not in IT or systems. How can you not know the difference between implementation of a Moore’s Law and what drives it? Pick up a copy of Gordon Moore’s seminal book on his postulate and please stop using wiki. 🤦🏼
Literally alien tech
let me know when they get around to making them cheaper.. thats part of Moores law too.
So after the near the absolute 0 nano mark we're going negative nano or by decimals??
Oregon baby
Intel is gonna make a huge comeback
This is amazing.. Greetings frm Pakistan ❤
For anyone who wonders how small are the circuits printed on the wafers what magnification do they use to print them ?
Imagine pointing a laser to the moon on a persons thumb that how far away small a circuit is printed Youd need a dam good telescope to see it hello hubble.
so we talking apple II here or...?
I can't help but wonder how they keep tin and silicon from building up in the optics, probably has to flush itself frequently with powerful solvents, but then that's gonna dissolve more than the garbage over time, so they must pick materials and solvents carefully? Anyways what a marvelous machine!!!
It's captured for reuse
Didn't he say they vaporize the tin in the process??
@@watchout5508 Yes. But, vaporized metal condensates in random places around the vacuum chamber. It's how a process called magnetized sputter deposition can be used to create mirrors and other metal coatings... but in that process they have to repeatedly open the thing up and clean out the chamber.
The waffer substrate (silicone with a purity around 99.99%) is only manufactured by 5 companies in the world. 4 in Japan and 1 in Singapore. This is one more bottleneck in this area.
Silicon. Silicone is for implants.
I think Japan is safe
I want to hear more computing specs before I buy stock though. NVIDIA seems to have the lead right now and I'm not sure Intel is moving fast enough to take that lead from them, or even if they're competing on an apples to apples level.
Does quantum computing make those asml machine obsolete?
I am sure that this facility is off limit to those oregon rioters.
wow. imagine what the world will look like in just a couple years.
Bored needs more lasers. Maybe sharks with lasers. Ps a lot of comments are way wrong with dates.
The machine that makes the chips that runs the Ai that'll destroy the world.
The world as we know it is over, kaput, finato, thats it, sayonara, se la vie, nada mas, nunca jamas, and never again.

Geez, did you fact check ANY of their press release material?
Bots , Space station can be a good development for such companies. I wish I had such money to develop superior technology
Give it a decade and that machine 6:15 will be the size of a car.
You think? There are some very unpleasant physical limits to that.
No they will only get bigger, working for a very long time now for ASML and since the beginning, every generation of machine is getting bigger as more modules are necessary to make the chips smaller and the machines faster. Also the wafer size went from 8 to 12 inch, also that requires bigger handling modules ect.
Keep my own shxt!! Oh you mean the way it used to be? Where I didn't have to pay any subscription fees? Get outta town.
Cool behind the scenes.
Don't tell me aliens didn't land at Roswell.
meanwhile current and recent gen intel cpus are a dumpster fire.. lets hope they bounce back next gen
It's nice that Intel got the new ASML machine, but they fell behind when they didn't use those lithography machines from the start and bit them hard real hard now that TSMC and Samsung make the advanced chips now. You need ASML machines like that to do again the 1 to 2 nanometer chips.
Nah. Intel is getting the latest and greatest machines from ASML. But it may take until 2025 for mass production to start.

Yes, the people of Taiwan must be congratulated and praised for the great effort they have made to modernize the world. Please keep Taiwan safe. They should be a proud and happy people. Nobody should force them to be anything less. China should negotiate a peace treaty between them, where China gives Taiwan full autonomy, China can have the military and foreign affairs. No meddlind in Taiwans internal politics, law and security. Effectively bring Taiwan into a greater China. Why not. This will evert a big war and China's gets the cake and shares it with the world. Respect ! Prez Ji becomes immortal.
Bro what is that machine lol
Why the market capitalization is AMD/2;
I'm a little concerned that only one place in the world, let alone in the us, are making these chips. What if some natural disaster or intensional mishap where to happen in Hillsboro. I'm glad that we've got this tech in Oregon but I can't help but be a little pessimistic the way the world is today.
Theres another machine thats going to an unknown manufacturer
India has not even started even bit of this.
After Scl fire brokeout 50 years ago.
I don't know whats going to happen in future. Are they going to perform nuclear fission in this or what. As they already build buildings on that nm fab.
By the way i am just 18. So, don't get offended by anything commented by me.
Just sharing thoughts. It feels so important to explain after knowing complexity of this to not be in jail due any mistake in comment.😅
Just a portion of cheesie chips for me ta.

Driving customers nuts I think you mean. The new Intels are malfunctioning.
The accuracy required for the optics and motion control is unbelievable. Only ASML and a
Taiwan Company make this lithography machines. Thats why China's threat to invade Taiwan is so dangerous.
*_"Only ASML and a Taiwan Company make this lithography machines."_*
Wrong, only ASML can make the most advanced lithography machines, according to a report any other company trying to do the same is trailing at least 10 years.
