SEOUL, March 24 (Reuters) – SK Hynix said on Tuesday it will purchase $11.95 trillion won ($7.97 billion) worth of ASML’s EUV lithography tools as it prepares for mass production of new products, in the largest single order publicly disclosed by an ASML customer.
In a regulatory filing, Sk Hynix said it would purchase the tools by December 31, 2027. Reuters reported in January that the firm plans to accelerate the opening of a new plant in Yongin city to February 2027 to meet rising demand for memory chips.
An ASML spokesperson said the company could not comment on customer business plans. ASML reported a 38.8 billion euro order backlog at the end of 2025.
