The Most Expensive Machine Ever Made
A massive excavator can cost $25 million. A Falcon 9 rocket costs around $67 million. An F-35 fighter jet can cost around $100 million.
But a single EUV photolithography system can cost over $200 million — and it’s used to print the microscopic patterns inside modern microchips.
Even crazier? Advanced chip factories can have dozens of these machines, making the entire facility cost close to $20 billion.
This is why modern chip manufacturing is one of the most expensive industries on Earth.
