re: Sounds as if they are talking about ASML: digitimes.com; They do. My opinion is that ASML is at the limit of their capacity right now. ASML is unable to fullfil all wishes from chipmakers. ASML is urgently looking for more than 350 highly skilled technicians, but they are unable to find sufficient qualified people in the Netherlands. So they are looking now in Great Britain, Belgium, France and Germany, but I doubt if they will succeed. ASML is also building a few hundred thousand square feet of new cleanrooms. Construction will be finished at the end of this year. The biggest problem is the leak of capacity to construct the new Twinscan XT:1900 immersiontool. There they are really at the limit. ASML will get new orders for about 50 to 60 immersiontools of the 1900i type this year. ASML wants to ramp up the production of these immersiontools in order to reduce the deliverytime from 9 month tot 6 month. Niek
