According to Claude, that's about $1M/yr of electricity, assuming 24x7 usage.
I assume the real saving is on the cost of the machine in the first place, and again relying on my AI buddy Claude:
Let me break down the costs of both Nanoimprint Lithography (NIL) and Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machines:
NIL Machine Cost:
Basic NIL systems: $1-3 million
Advanced NIL systems (like those from Canon/Molecular Imprints): $10-15 million
EUV Machine Cost:
Current ASML EUV systems (like the NXE:3400C): Approximately $150-200 million per unit
Latest generation ASML EUV systems (NXE:3600D): Over $300 million per unit
Installation and support infrastructure can add $30-50 million
**
So, looks like $200M+ saving going with NIL vs EUV.
