High-NA commitment secures lithography roadmap
beyond the next decade
• Extension of EUV with High-NA lithography enables the IC industry to continue to drive down cost per
function by improving imaging, overlay and productivity
◦ NA (numerical aperture) of the new optical system will increase from 0.33 on current EUV
systems, to 0.55 on High-NA systems
◦ Throughput targeted at 185 wafers per hour
• With the addition of High-NA, the ASML product portfolio will include 0.33 NA and 0.55 NA EUV, dry
and immersion DUV, as well as Holistic products, all designed to work seamlessly together in
production
• Last year’s investment in Carl Zeiss SMT solidifies our development timeline and reduces our
execution risk
• Received four orders for High-NA R&D systems from three leading semiconductor manufacturers
targeted to start shipping by end of 2021
• Sold options for eight High-NA early volume systems targeted to start shipping in 2024
