To be fair, there are limits on how far and how fast one can upgrade a fab and upgrades are planned out many years in advance. Equipment for the smaller nodes tends to be larger and more complex and involving more steps; this requires more space. Additionally, ASML only makes around a dozen of the EUV machines each year and they are booked years in advance.
- petra 6y agoWhat percentage of the equipment changes between nodes ? Is it mostly the lithography and inspection tools ?
