    Chip Demand Keeps Growing; ASML Studies Further Expanding Lithography Equipment Capacity

    ASML said its existing 2027 and 2028 supply plans cannot fully meet customer demand and that it is studying a further expansion of 2028 capacity beyond the previously planned 30% increase. Quarterly sales through September 27 were EUR 11.7 billion, up more than 50% year over year. The NXE:3800F EUV lithography system slated for introduction next year will raise productivity from 230 to 260 wafers per hour.

    Why we recommend it: Capacity expansion and productivity upgrades are proceeding in parallel, offering concrete industry clues on how AI demand translates into EUV lithography equipment supply constraints.

    Suda Weige Delivers Large Direct-Write Lithography System, Plans to Sell 100% of Huarisheng

    Suda Weige announced the successful delivery of an independently developed large direct-write lithography system for lithographic manufacturing of materials used in photonic chips, optical communications and optical chips. The system supports real-time 3D navigation autofocus on large-area substrates, proximity effect compensation during exposure and other functions. Several more large lithography system contracts are awaiting delivery. The company also plans to transfer 100% of Huarisheng for 550 million yuan, concentrating resources on micro- and nano-optics equipment and materials.

    Why we recommend it: The equipment delivery and the planned exit from the reflective materials business together show a path of concentrating resources in micro- and nano-manufacturing, useful for understanding Suda Weige's technology portfolio and commercialization direction.
