This is the BEST promotion vedio I've ever seen!! The warm, beautiful piano music flow with the cold, high tech machine really makes me chill. Great job!! Well done!!
When you look at the edge of what humanity has reached, you can only appreciate how lucky you are to be looking at one of the most amazing results of millions of years of evolution, including billions of attempts to answer questions that driven by our human curiosity "why and how"
And in reality all condensed in 6,000 years. If we can create this equipment, how infinite much More Is our Creator that created us!! Ask ASML what the odds are that this equipment would originate from a random big bang
@JanMol-rb4yo "Express that probability in one out of what number", you ask me? Okay, it's my opinion. I believe in science and everything that nature does, or doesn't do. So for me the probability that everything once started from a big bang and in which we are now, is one out of one. So, I'm 100% sure. And of course I respect your opinion. 😊👍🏼
.... and at Zeiss SMT, Trumpf (I think) and all the other manufacturers around the world producing crucial parts for theses machines. The laser tin-plasma part for example is from a US based company (if I recall correctly).
...did you really just write the awkward "humankind" word? Your ugly leftism is so sad. You do realize that "man" is contained right in the center of the word "huMANkind", right? Maybe you want to say "huPERSONkind"? Is that your style? Or just grow up and use the generic "mankind" since it means all people. You are simply such a sissy leftist that you can't even think. ps the word "personkind" actually means man as the root "son" is... oh, just look it up.
@@lawrencefrost9063 try building an EUV machine, when whole society told you to learn the word of God all day. Try building an EUV machine, when you have to carry water and grow food all day. Try building an EUV machine when the boss thinks it is a shitty expensive idea when success isn't obvious. Innovation happens in context of a society that enables it, then individuals take on the opportunity to act on it.
@@lawrencefrost9063 Right, for me, I'm proud to have a sucessor like ASML in my country and a F1 coureur Max Verstappen. Better than tulips, windmills and wooden shoes.
The movement of wafers and stepper is basically real time, it is not speed up. 185 wph. That is 26 seconds per wafer, and half of that time is just loading wafer, and metrology. The exposure is probably just 15 seconds per wafer. That is insane, if one considers that each wafer has hundredths of exposures. So stepper stage translates and aligns each exposure in like 200ms, to the nanometer. Insane. No idea how they do it, but a lot of smart hardware and software. And then you have all the other things, going on, hard vacuum, temperature control, light source and optics beyond precise, and all the other stuff. Crazy. And then you have things outside of machine that are also high tech like photosensitive resins, fabrication of the masks, etc.
Absolutely stunning video. Truly a piece of art. As a Photonic Engineering student, I regularly come back to this video to get some motivation for studying!
In my humble opinion the greatest feat of technology ever is the transistor. I am greatftul for the genius people behind all this. Unbelievably astonishing job!
It's amazing, thanks ASML for such a complex engineering marvel. It's jaw dropping. How does it feel to make such a complex machine with such precision and which is so important for mankind? ❤ASML
@@aero1000 There are a lot of more advanced technologies or machines in the world. The industrialization and practical scale of the ASML machines in combination with the cutting edge technology is what makes it this unique.
@@bobniks8411 I worked on both. ASML's EUV system is easily more advanced. Other than the sensing equipment CERNs hadron collider is a very very large infrastructure project which comes with its own challenges.
Tus machine has the best of all knowledge of humankind, applied physiscs (optics) chemistry, computer science, mechatronics, materials science, software. State of the technique.
Look at those wafer stages. Seems there have been some significant improvements there. Acceleration of 32G is very impressive. Transistor density and overlay improvements also notable.
The reticle stage is 32G. The wafer stage is 8g. Still incredibly impressive, but a factor of 4 lower accelerations, as you have a factor of 4 reduction in the image. Reticle stage is also significantly lighter.
Man...PPL just don't know It's the Pinnacle of technology..... masterpiece that is propelling our world....Without this we would have been living just like in 1930's.😢❤❤❤❤
Sub nanometer overlay is the surface of the layers on top of each other in 3D configurations. The transistors are of a size 8 nm even though now the measurement will be the density in mm3.
1. EUV photomasks work by reflecting light... not like conventional photomasks which work by blocking light. 2. Photomask is covered with photoresist. Next it is exposed to laser light - maskless lithography with an electron beam. Exposed photoresist is removed and the unprotected areas are etched. The remaining photoresist is removed. Masks are inspected and later repaired using an electron beam... That process is basically shown in the video.
@@Verbatino Thanks for the reply. I'm familiar with how UV/DUV resists work. I think you missed my point though. At 1:28 it shows the images immediately appearing on silicon (or whatever it is) after write, which would normally not happen in lower energy systems until later development. I'm asking whether or not this is really how EUV resists work. Thanks!
@@iopredmanWell I see the pattern without developing in UV litho. If the printed pattern size is super small, it shouldn't be visible. However they may also print bigger structures by EUV. I think in the video it is due to illustration, like the purple EUV beam of 13,5 nm.
@@iopredman Well, if you get things right... then yes. Basically it might look as a simpler process on video... if you don't consider wild complexity of those EUV photomasks... and EUV optics... in vacum...
I wonder what kind of actuators do they use to get this accuracy&precision at this speed? Both wafer carrier-positioners and 32g acceleration of the reticle stage; seems like magic. But it is actually not magic, just state-of-the-art engineering.
according to reliable estimates the competition is at least 10 years behind. That means that the industry depends on ASML for at least 10 years… this is crazy remains from this machine.
How many chips has inside the HIGH NA EUV machine? This machine has my algorithm too, being able to work so fast and with accuracy only the mathematical perfection can do that.
Super mooie video hopelijk kan ik vrijdag avond op de opendag komen ik had me aangemeld terwijl het vol was. Ik had geen plek ingevuld. Ben benieuwd of ik kan komen. Amazing video
