Hi Niek - por favor could you add some color on the term "memory makers" - DRAM I suppose? And second: What's typical leadtime for leading edge steppers (I understand the manufacturing the optics takes 9 (?) months or so?). TIA ASML said it expects third quarter "orders to be substantially higher than previously indicated because of strong demand from several memory makers ... across the ASML product range."

Shares rose 2.4 percent on the news to euro17.37 (US$22.33) in Amsterdam trading. ASML supplies lithography systems -- which map out the circuitry of chips and are at the heart of the semiconductor-making process -- to the world's major chipmakers such as Intel Corp., and is considered an industry bellwether. ASML said it expects third quarter "orders to be substantially higher than previously indicated because of strong demand from several memory makers ... across the ASML product range." Chief Executive Eric Meurice forecast Wednesday that 2006 sales as a whole will be up around 40 percent from euro2.53 billion (US$3.06 billion) a year earlier. The strength of the orders are "indicative of the industry's fairly sustained need for capacity," as customers build new fabrication plants in 2007, he said in a statement. In July, ASML reported a 49 percent rise in second-quarter net profit to euro167 million (US$209 million), with sales up 23 percent to euro942 million (US$1.18 billion).
