ASML Reportedly Raises EUV and DUV Part Prices by 10%

ASML has reportedly finalized a price increase for replacement parts used in its extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and deep ultraviolet (DUV) equipment, according to a report cited by Wccftech. The reported increase is a flat 10% for every part.

The report links the move to profits earned by memory makers Samsung and SK hynix during a DRAM shortage. It says the companies’ earnings have drawn envy from suppliers, including ASML, and that ASML wants its margins to match those of its customers. The source does not provide figures for the companies’ earnings or margins.

Samsung and SK hynix have seemingly agreed to the reported increase, the summary says. It describes ASML as raising prices for all replacement parts, but gives no effective date or further detail on how the change will be applied.

The claims are attributed to a report; Wccftech’s summary does not identify its underlying source. The report’s account of the price change and customer agreement should therefore be treated as reported, rather than independently confirmed.
