Executives at ASML's headquarters in the Dutch town of Veldhoven told Reuters a prototype was on track to be completed in the first half of 2023. They said the company and longtime R&D partner IMEC were setting up a test lab on the spot - a first - so top chipmakers and their suppliers can explore the machine's properties and prepare to use production models as early as 2025.
ASML said it had five orders for pilot machines, which should be delivered in 2024, and "more than five" orders from five different customers for faster production models for delivery starting in 2025.
I would guess the first five pilot machines in 2024 probably should be one to each of the five EUV customers: Intel, TSMC, Samsung, Micron, SK Hynix.
ASML annual report showed only 5 High-NA systems in demand in 2025, however. Again, most likely one per customer.
