The Hillsboro, Oregon plant dual-qualified select Intel 18A chip layers on the tool, matching yields from the older NXE platform.
- ASML installed its first commercial High NA EUV system at Intel's Hillsboro, Oregon site in 2024.
- Intel was first worldwide to install and pass testing on ASML's newer TWINSCAN EXE:5200B tool.
- CEO Christophe Fouquet called it a 'substantial development in semiconductor lithography' for the industry.
