TwinScan Scanning Stepper by ASML

Just as the first lights of a new millennium were dawning in 1999, ASML announced its newest lithography product, The TwinScan Scanning Stepper. Here was a tool representing the latest in technology: a bridge tool spanning the 200/300 mm wafer size; a lens family capable of ranging from i line at 365 nm down to ArF lenses compatible with 193 nm; variable focal depth adjustment; improved overlay down to 0.6nm; and symmetrical side loading for foups.

These are just a few of the advancements that helped propel ASML to the leading supplier of steppers in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.

At least one of the key contributors to the ASML TwinScan family, yet to be named, should be Erik Loopstra. Erik was the system engineer responsible for the overall design of the TwinScan family. He is a Fellow of ASML and has longstanding service in ASML as one of its leading system engineers, helping to pioneer new machines, including the TwinScan and the EUV machines.

I tried pasting a photo fo Erik into this blog, but unfortunately your SW does not allow this.

PS why does your job category not allow Product Marketing as an worthwhile job? I am forced to choose historian (though I could have selected developer)
