ASML Holding NV shares down 5%

Its one thing to make these machines. Its another matter to get a high rate of successful wafers. Not have to bin 50% of your output. iirc-— TSMC has to reject only 3% of advanced node wafers that chips are etched onto.

Yep, this is a press release. When details come out that they can’t get the chips in a useable state most of the time...

It’s like a magical art..

Everything seems to interfere with turning out a good chip.
If you slouch the yield may drop...lol
