That's the question. Is today's high bookings number a result of past underinvestment, or a sign of future overinvestment?

Look at slides 16-26 of ASML's 2Q10 presentation:

Looks to me, there has been very little capacity additions yet, in DRAM, NAND. Logic/MPU has been reducing capacity since 2005 (slide 24).

With semi revenues at record highs, looks to me like capacity additions are needed.
