(ASML) - Get Report
, the Dutch maker of semiconductor equipment, said it expects fourth-quarter bookings above €2 billion ($2.66 billion) as it is seeing stronger-than-expected demand for lithography equipment.
ASML's previous forecast, made back in October, said fourth-quarter bookings would exceed the third-quarter's €1.3 billion.
ASML on Thursday said demand for the lithography equipment is "coming from most semiconductor market segments."
It added that "DRAM lithography demand is weakening less than originally planned, NAND Flash memory investments for the high volume ramp of new technologies and Foundry/Logic commitments for new strategic fab projects are driving brisk lithography demand for 2011."
