Description

Discover the history of the engineers who built the world's most powerful chip machines in ASML's Architects by Techwatch Books. This book explores how the semiconductor landscape changed during the 1980s. While American giants Perkin-Elmer and GCA faced intense competition from Japanese companies Canon and Nikon, a small lithography firm in the Netherlands began its journey. Trace the rise of ASML from an obscure company to its current position as the world's biggest and most profitable machinery manufacturer for the chipmaking industry. With a dominant market share of 70 to 80 percent, ASML provides the technology that drives Moore's law. This company history provides a detailed look at the shift in global technology monopolies and the success of the Dutch lithography industry.

Key Features

ASML's Architects by Techwatch Books tells the story of the engineers who shaped modern chip machine technology.

This book examines the shift in the chip lithography market when US companies lost their two-decade monopoly.

Learn about the competition between American heavyweights like Perkin-Elmer and Japanese firms Canon and Nikon.

Follow the history of ASML as it grew from an obscure Dutch company into a global industry leader.

Explore how ASML achieved a 70 to 80 percent market share in the chipmaking machinery industry.
