High-NA EUV equipment is more expensive, costing $380 million to $400 million, and its imaging range is halved, which will require major changes to chip design. In addition, the size of High-NA EUV systems is larger than Low-NA systems, which means chipmakers need to rethink their fab layout to accommodate these new equipment.
