Overall, the deal between Intel and ASML is pretty straightforward: Intel agreed to commit about $1.0B to ASML R&D programs to accelerate deployment of new technologies for 450mm microprocessor wafers and extreme ultraviolet lithography by as much as two years. The company also agreed to buy 10 percent of ASML shares for approximately $2.1B and committed to buy another 5 percent of past-transaction shares for roughly another $1.0B.
