Teamwork makes the machines work
01 / 33
Every day, our colleagues in R&D, Manufacturing, Customer Support, Sourcing and Supply Chain, and support functions take on the exciting challenge of building and maintaining the most advanced lithography systems in the world.
Research & Development
Without R&D, ASML wouldn’t exist. Our founders’ goal when they started the company in 1984 was to build a fast and accurate chip-making machine that could compete in the growing semiconductor industry – something that could never be achieved without a relentless focus on R&D, guided by the voice of our customers. In our Research department, ideas are explored and then passed on to Development & Engineering for designing and integration into our products and services. ASML continues to invest heavily in R&D.
