>>107668064Most lithography machines get used for decades.A chip consists of dozens of layers and you only need the newest and best machines for the first few layers.So when a better machine comes out the older machines just get pushed down the line.In an interview an engineer from ASML even said he found it a bit annoying having to build machines that came out two decades ago but sometimes an old machine breaks and the customers wants a 1:1 replacement instead of an upgrade.
