Bits&Chips

Matthias Wissert, head of R&D at Trumpf, about the changes in the engineering culture at the German machine and laser developer in the last twelve years - driven in part by the collaboration with ASML.https://bits-chips.com/

Marcel Pelgrom proposes to invest 199 million euros in a new Dutch chip measurement lab.https://bits-chips.com/

Ale Sytsma is one of the last three ASML employees with a Philips background who will retire this year. He installed the first PAS 2000 waferstepper at the very first customer, IBM in Burlington (US). In this interview (in Dutch), he talks about the early days of stepper development at Philips and ASML and his adventures at Big Blue.https://bits-chips.com/

ASML and Trumpf both have different systems engineering approaches, deeply rooted in their organization. The requirements for lowering costs nicely show this. Jonathan Muller talks about it in this podcast.  https://bits-chips.com/

To keep up with the pace in the semiconductor market, Trumpf had no other choice than to adapt to the ASML way of working. In this episode, Jonathan Müller explains what that meant for systems engineering and the development of the EUV drive laser.https://bits-chips.com/
