The only two places in the world that can build the optical columns inside ASML's lithography scanners -- a key part of semiconductor manufacturing -- are set for dramatic expansion, the manufacturer said on Friday.
Zeiss Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology has confirmed that it's adding around 25,000 square meters of production and production-adjacent space at Oberkochen in southern Germany, with staff moving into the first completed building this month, four years after the 2022 groundbreaking. The remaining buildings will be handed over in stages.
