Intel, ASML strengthen collaboration on high-end manufacturing

$Intel (INTC.US)$ and $ASML Holding (ASML.US)$ announced on Wednesday that the long-standing collaboration between the two companies will continue, with Intel buying the first TWINSCAN EXE:5200 system, an extreme ultraviolet high-production system that generates more than 200 wafers per hour productive and continues their lengthy High-NA deal.

In a statement, ASML President and CTO Martin van den Brink said that Intel's commitment to ASML's High-NA technology continues its Moore's Law mantra.

"Compared to the current EUV systems, our innovative extended EUV roadmap delivers continued lithographic improvements at reduced complexity, cost, cycle time and energy that the chip industry needs to drive affordable scaling well into the next decade,” van den Brink said in a statement.
