In addition to lithography systems, the company also provides related products and services, such as metrology systems, software, and maintenance.

ASML produces several types of products for the semiconductor industry, including:

Lithography systems : These are used to pattern circuits onto silicon wafers using ultraviolet light. ASML offers several types of lithography systems, including extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and immersion systems.

Metrology systems : These systems are used to measure and inspect the patterns on silicon wafers, ensuring that they meet the required specifications. ASML's metrology systems include optical and x-ray systems.

Software : ASML provides a range of software solutions to help customers optimize the performance of their lithography systems, including mask synthesis, simulation, and modeling software.

Maintenance and service : ASML offers a variety of services to support customers throughout the lifecycle of their systems, including installation, training, and ongoing maintenance and repair.

DUV - Deep ultraviolet lithography systems , also known as i-line and DUV systems, are used to pattern circuits onto silicon wafers using deep ultraviolet light.

EUV - Extreme ultraviolet lithography systems , also known as EUV systems, are used to pattern circuits onto silicon wafers using extreme ultraviolet light.
