Getting a chip pattern to print exactly as intended starts long before high-volume manufacturing.

With holistic lithography, chipmakers can model, measure and refine their patterning choices before they ramp up production. By combining computational lithography, optical metrology and e-beam inspection with lithography systems, they can correct distortions, check pattern quality on test wafers and use those insights to fine-tune their process.

The result? Printed patterns that match the intended design as closely as possible.

What does it mean to deploy AI responsibly?

At ASML, incorporating AI into our work isn’t about trying to do the same with less – it’s about finding ways to deliver more to our customers. That’s why our partnership with Mistral AI is focused on amplifying what our people and technology can do: Think faster problem solving, deeper innovation and more streamlined operations.

Modern chips rely on a range of materials that not only make up the semiconductor die itself, but also play critical roles in the packaging that shields them and connects them to the outside world.

Here are three materials that play a key role in both the microchip circuitry and the packaging that protects it:

💪 Silicon is the foundation that chips are built on because its semiconducting properties are behind transistors’ current-switching abilities. It’s also used for large-area substrates, or interposers, in 2.5D and 3D advanced packaging.

⏳ Silicon dioxide is used to form insulating layers in microchip structures. And, because of its thermal and mechanical properties, it’s also often a primary component of the epoxy molding compound used to encapsulate chips.

🟠 Copper is used for the interconnects that serve as a chip’s wiring, carrying electrical signals to and from transistors. Its electrical and mechanical properties, valued within chips, also lead to its widespread use for chip packaging connections.

Together, these essential materials help ensure modern devices meet the demands of today’s technology landscape.

Bill’s career has changed course a number of times, but logistics is the connecting thread: getting the right things in the right place at the right time. Today he’s a Supplier Logistics Manager at ASML in Wilton.

His story is a reminder that there is no single route into our industry. Different perspectives and experiences often bring unexpected strengths.

If you had asked me at 22 years old where I’d end up, the semiconductor industry would not have made the list. My career has changed course a number of times, but logistics is the connecting thread: getting the right things in the right place at exactly the right time.
