Kamehame-Chips! The $400 Million Machine Powering the Future!

Bigger Than a Double Decker Bus?! Kaio what?!

Hey everyone it's me Goku! I just heard about this crazy machine in the Netherlands that's bigger than a double decker bus! Can you believe it? It's called High NA and apparently it's how they're making those tiny microchips that power everything. Assia Haddou even showed it off! It sounds like something Dr. Briefs would build but even he would be impressed! I wish I could train inside this thing; imagine the power ups! It's made in different parts of the world then put together which reminds me of the spirit bomb!

Intel Gets First Dibs! Like Bulma Getting All the Pudding!

So Intel got the first one of these bad boys in Oregon. Only five exist which is rarer than finding a Senzu Bean when you really need one! TSMC and Samsung are next in line. This High NA is like the latest Super Saiyan transformation for chips. Nvidia Apple and AMD can't make their chips without the EUV technology which sounds like the best cheat code ever and ASML is the only one making it. Talk about having all the power!

Lower Costs? Is This Like Krillin Getting Stronger?

Apparently this High NA thing makes chips cheaper to produce. The CEO of ASML Christophe Fouquet says it's all about driving costs down. Well that's a relief! I thought everything cool had to cost a fortune like Bulma's Dragon Radar or my training meals. This is like Krillin finally pulling his weight in a fight! It will eventually be used by all EUV customers.

Faster Chips Than a Flying Nimbus! Zoom!

Intel and Samsung are already saying this High NA is a game changer. Intel says it's twice as reliable and Samsung says it cuts their cycle time by 60%! That's faster than my Flying Nimbus! It also improves yield which means more chips are usable from each wafer. It's like getting a whole field of Senzu Beans instead of just one!

Molten Tin and Lasers?! Sounds Like a Super Kamehameha!

The way they make these EUV rays is bonkers! They shoot molten tin with a laser creating a plasma hotter than the sun! It's like a mini Super Kamehameha every time! The light is so small it's absorbed by everything so the whole process has to happen in a vacuum. Talk about dedication!

China Tariffs and the Future... Time to Train Harder!

ASML also sells older DUV machines and China buys a lot of them. But the U.S. isn't letting them get their hands on the EUV tech. Sounds like things are getting complicated with tariffs and stuff but that just means everyone needs to train harder right? And ASML is building a training center in Arizona! Maybe I can sneak in and learn a few things... For now ASML is building more to meet demands for the High NA and they're also working on something even more powerful called Hyper NA!
