Why The World Relies On ASML For Machines That Print Chips Reaction! 

As an ASML employee who lives in Veldhoven, I must say I am very proud

I am proud to make parts for these machines. The level of precision on a large scale is extreme, but that's what makes it fun

I started at Philips in Eindhoven back in 1989 after dropping out of High School and just before joining the military. Later it turned out that the division I started at with Philips became ASML

Hello from the Netherlands . typical case of Where a small country can be big in . Simple do it the Dutch way ! . man oh man I am so proud of this small country when I see such things again. most people don't even know where the Netherlands is but they all need it haha . thanks for the video Highly . Sincerely, Hollandduck

It is a local company and the largest employer in the region. From what I hear a very nice employer as well. Always fun to see.

People in the industry don't always know how it all works either. There are very few people, if any, who could completely redesign the whole process to a modern chip from scratch. Those 5 billion transistors... they're in a grid alright, but according to a circuit design. And because nobody can lay out 5 billion transistors by hand, that design is generated by software. The whole technology stack is layers upon layers of complexity.

In the 90's they would call this science fiction now they will just call it science. The microchips business made a giant leap so now we only have to wait for the first nuclear fusion reactor 😁

Very fascinating video! But it also shows how fragile we actually are. Pretty scary, if you’d ask me.

And another world changing Dutch invention ;)

I'm an 18 yr old Dutch student at Tilburg University and recently had the privilege of visiting ASML global headquarters in veldhoven because one of my group members knew somebody who worked there. The security and precision at the facility is insane. There were at least two people keeping an eye on us (we were just a group of 5 freshmen) at all times. Any information that we got could only be shared with our lecturer for the purpose of the assignment we were working on and everything had to be wiped of our computers once we were done.

Hi again. Great video!👌 Being Dutch and working in IT since the late 80's I knew about ASML. It's incredible.😳 There is a law about this: "Moore's law is a term used to refer to the observation made by Gordon Moore in 1965 that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit (IC) doubles about every two years."🧐 And ASML makes it happen...😁😉 Once more: If it ain't Dutch, it ain't much!🤣

It is hard to understand the amount of inventions that come out of such a small country like the Netherlands. CD's, cassettetapes, videotapes betamax, transistors and more. And now ASML is the leading company on microchip technology and what more to come. We are just 18 million in numbers and achieving all that by just a few superbrain inventors( my brain NOT included) , technicians, builders and other very smart people.

Yes Highly who would have thought, it's the Netherlands again. Amsterdam has the fame 👍 but the region Eindhoven has the brain. Nahnananana. 🐘🐘 , sorry, couldn't help myself 🤪😊. Thank you for this awesome video.

Yups it's us dutchies again, so once again... You welcome world 😉

I worked at the back office of a job agency called Xelvin who deployed a lot of their employees there. ASML was/is their biggest client where they have a lot of employees deployed. We got a tour at ASML on a work trip since the head office of Xelvin is in Einhoven so close to Veldhoven. It’s really amazing. We didn’t see the cleaning rooms etc but our tour gave us enough information to see how amazing ASML’s te technology is.

Proud to live in Veldhoven.

I already knew a thing or two about this company. But this documentary was crazy interesting! There’s so much to learn about this company and this tech industry.

Great video! Where a small country can be a big deal 😉

Very interesting video. Off course I knew ASML but never had a clear picture of what they're all about. Now i have. Great request Martijn!

My sister works there at high level. The cia is there present all the time. It is unreal i can not tell more but it is mindblowing. Did you know that assemble a machine in your compagny takes longer then one year to be ready to produce.

i am a truck drivers at the transport company called gebr van den eijnden, and we were the firts transport company for asml. And we still drive for them and it is great work

I drive by the factory every time I visit my brother in Maastricht. I learned from my dad what the company does etc. Quite impressive. Thanks brother! 😊🌷

1:05 for something so bizarly specialistic 200 million sounds cheap to be honest ;) like you saw those ships in the Rick Steve video about Netherlands beyond Amsterdam. Those ships cost similar prices and more. I mean this machine could be as expensive as a spaceshuttle. To keep the price that low on itself is a challenge.

This is what many countries and investors coming together can produce if there is a willingness to try with their experts without knowing if it will work out exactly as predicted . It's so advanced that it leaves anything and everything in the dust.

The Netherlands has the whole world chipped.

I worked there for a while...never really understood what was going on there xD

ASML is going to expand big time in the Eindhoven area

Now, there’s 18.000 people working at the ASML campus in Veldhoven and about 25.000 people worldwide.

If it aint dutch, it aint much .... :)

That big machine makes nano technology, chips so small that the naked eye cannot see.

Informative

Well, at least thje US military got reason to defend Bravbant, jonguh!

9:00 that number is Pi i guess

i build the power supply cabinets for the NXE 3800 and the EXE 5000

The beast company of the world!

Another semiconductor producer in Netherlands named NXP. Here a vid: A.N - NXP- Nijmegen (Vid upload on RU-vid, by Gerrie Janssen).

Imagine your 3 biggest custumers are also your biggest shareholders... And Imagine they hiring the best people from around the world to build them. Dont have stocks yet? 😉

I live near this place so I know some people who work there. The machines are so complicated that there is nobody in that whole company who knows the complete machine, maybe someone knows just 15% of how it works, that's why it is so hard for the Chinese to replicate this technology. With that ASML is the largest employer in the region even tough it's just a local company. They at least pay you double the amount of money that the other Tech companies would pay you in this region. But the problem with ASML is that they can't accommodate the amount of people they need to grow more. And they can't even expend a lot at this point, because for that they need to buy out houseowners next to the factory, which most of the locals don't agree with. So for the local economy it's a brilliant company, social wise it is itchy.

Love this video, especially since i am from Veldhoven!

I live in that country is breath taking to she this factory

they only need ASML for the latest kinds of chips! For older kinds of chips the older chip making machines can be used.

Find out how HP, Hewlet and Packard started their company. In a garage, exactly. And why does everybody buys ASML machines? Because they are the only one who can build them. Nobody even tries, that's how complicated it is.

This machine could print a book, not to small to read, no to small to see.

if you want to jump down the rabbit hole of how all this is done and the you tube channel Asianometry has amazing vids on everything to do with chip making

Its not much of an exaggeration to say that Philips and all its spinoff companies, including ASML, pretty much singlehandedly transitioned this planet from the space age to the digital age.

Dutch are modern day smart traders.

Imagine when they get down to the atomic level as in 1 atom size, what will come after that ? If we can't build stuff smaller to fit on the same die size of a chip, then the chip has to become bigger. Now, bigger doesn't immediately mean larger surface, but stacking on top of each-other, so then it becomes higher. Eventually this leads to cooling problems. There is only so much they can do before thermals start to ruin it for real. The next thing, is in labs. Whether that is ever going to leave the lab .. sure ? When .. in 50 years is a bit late.. Anyhow, that thing is replacing electricity with light. Anything using electric power, heats up. Heat from light is negligible. It would mean that a CPU can be running at .. what exactly .. 500 TeraHertz ? (I'm just making up that number, I really have no idea, 500THz = 100.000x faster then today's processors in frequency. The processors on the market today, go like 3.6 GHz, 3.7 3.8 .... 5.0 5.1 5.2 5.3 and that is about max we can do with normal cooling devices, not normal would be Liquid Nitrogen used by extreme over-clockers (6-8 GHz), that is not a working solution for us, normal users)

The company I work for is now in the process of partnering with ASML :) We're going to provide remote connectivity and data logging options

Now you know why China desperately want to seize Taiwan and why U.S. will defend it to yhe bone;)

Relativity... Potential...

Yes, we are special lunatics. There are no problems, only solutions.

We are not US roots in ASML. America hired them not any other way around. Why do american documentaries always have to 1 up their own nation somewhere?

He who does not honour the small is not worth the big . Hij die het kleine niet eert ,is grote niet weerd .

Welcome in my world

Years ago Phillips sell it Now they crying

Buying already years of shares!

In the 1900 why have philps 2000. Til nouw. Wy have asml iam proud of my city...

"American roots"? Explain me why please. Always thought it originated from Philips (Dutch) Semiconductors. Correct me if I'm wrong.

HXC A LIKE JOURE VIDEO'S BIG LOVE TO JOUWE FROME AMSTERDAM

Those numbers 10.000 times thinner then a human hair😃

Go

if it ain't dutch it ain't much... 😉

china wants 1 , USA say no tho the netherlands

Hey lad 🤘🏻 ive been to 3 different festivals in the netherlands, intents , defqon 1 and Decibel outdoor. You reacted to intents and defqon but could you please react to Decibel saturday and sunday 😱. In my opinion sunday is the craziest 🤞🏻 keep it up and hope to see these soon 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

This will destroy humanity eventually.

i LIKE JOURE video s SLAVA HOLLAND 🇳🇱🇳🇱SLAVA UKRIAN 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

how do they trust other company's...they can try to copy stuff

If you buy your suppliers you will lose the current director (he will not work as an employer). Your risk losing A lot of knowledge about the company and the product.

all Dutch
