The unit price of 1.9 billion yuan Intel snapped up the next-generation EUV lithography machine four years ago: the new process will never lag behind
The world‘s largest lithography machine supplier yesterdayASMLpublished2021yearQ4And the annual financial report, last year’s revenue186.11billion euros, an increase from the previous fiscal year33%, the net profit is also from35.54billion euros58.83100 million euros, shipped throughout the year42setEUVLithography machines, an increase over the previous year11set.
Q4During the quarter,ASMLThe company also added71100 million euros of new orders, including a set ofNA 0.55high numerical apertureEUVSales of lithography machines, which areASMLThe next generation of lithography machine, the order of this lithography machine isIntel, is said to cost as much as3billion US dollars, approximately19billion.
Know that in the currentEUVIn the sales of lithography machines, TSMC and Samsung are big customers, and the order volume is much higher thanIntel，but in the next generationEUVin lithography machineIntelGet the exclusive right, there is a certain preemptive period, as early as2018The first one in the year.
