Immersion 248-nm tools from ASML cost $26 million each versus $21 million for dry

I don't think they make 248nm immersion tools. This guy is lame.

RE: "Beyond the marketing hype, ASML and Nikon are running dead even on immersion lithography..."

Naturally, in a LaPedus article, there is a major conclusion which is totally at odds with all the other information presented in the article.

Going back to the "Mark LaPedus" story from October 21st and looking at the current statements of both, Nikon and ASML - everything points towards ASML being clearly ahead of Nikon. I don´t know whether it´s by 6 or 12 months, but it seems to be pretty significant. Moreover, the third player, Canon, is for the time being more or less out of the immersion game, which should bode well for the others.
