About us

Who are we? ASML is an innovation leader in the global semiconductor industry. We make machines that chipmakers use to mass produce microchips. Founded in 1984 in the Netherlands with just a handful of employees, we’ve now grown to over 40,000 employees, 143 nationalities and more than 60 locations around the world. What do we do? We provide chipmakers with hardware, software and services to mass produce patterns on silicon through lithography. Our lithography systems use ultraviolet light to create billions of tiny structures on silicon that together make up a microchip. We push our technology to new limits to enable our customers to create smaller, faster and more powerful chips. Who are our people? While you may think that only engineers and mathematicians work at ASML, you'll be surprised to find out that our people come from a wide variety of backgrounds. Across ASML, we have dedicated teams that manage customer support, communications and media, IT, software development and more. Every team in the company is essential for pushing our technology and the industry forward. If you love to tackle challenges and innovate in a collaborative, supportive and inclusive environment with all the flexibility and freedom to unleash your full potential, ASML is the place to be.

    Did you know that there are now over 1,000 YieldStar systems operating at our customer fabs? 🤯 Developed by ASML researcher and Corporate Fellow Arie den Boef, YieldStar quickly gained industry adoption and remains a crucial part of our holistic lithography product portfolio today. As chip designs became more complex in the 2000s, the need for precise measurement solutions became critical. YieldStar automates the measurement of wafer pattern quality with advanced optics and sensor technology, providing real-time feedback to optimize the semiconductor manufacturing process. 📈

    As we celebrate four decades of ASML, we honor Henk Bodt, our key supporter in the 1990s. Bodt's contribution was pivotal in securing a crucial investment from Philips, closing the final funding gap needed to produce the PAS 5500. His belief in ASML during a period of financial uncertainty helped us not only find our footing in the semiconductor industry, but also proudly repay Philips in the same year. Reflecting on the unwavering confidence leaders like Bodt had in us, we're inspired to keep driving innovation and stay committed to keep powering technology forward with you. When was the last time you believed in an idea, and it actually worked out?

    Where were you when the dotcom bubble burst? 💭 The chip industry is notoriously cyclical, and over ASML's 40 years, we've experienced our share of downturns. When the internet boom of the early 2000s ended, it triggered "the worst downturn in the history of the semiconductor industry", according to our then-CEO Doug Dunn. In 2001, ASML posted a loss as orders slumped, and we had to restructure. These challenging times tested and shaped us. Building on these experiences, we continue to evolve, ensuring our business and ecosystem remain resilient and prepared for both downturns and upturns. This is how we navigate the cycles of the chip industry, together with our customers, suppliers and partners.
