Asml

ASML Holding N.V. is a Dutch multinational corporation and the world's leading supplier of photolithography systems for the semiconductor industry. Headquartered in Veldhoven, Netherlands, ASML designs and manufactures lithography machines, including extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and deep ultraviolet (DUV) systems, used to produce integrated circuits (microchips). Its portfolio includes EUV lithography systems (such as the TWINSCAN NXE:3600D) for advanced chip nodes, DUV systems (such as the TWINSCAN NXT:2000) for high-volume manufacturing, refurbished systems (such as the PAS 5500), metrology and inspection tools (such as YieldStar), and computational lithography software for process optimisation. ASML's machines enable chipmakers such as Intel, TSMC, and Samsung to create smaller, faster, and more energy-efficient microchips. With a near-monopoly in EUV technology, ASML serves a global customer base across more than 60 locations in 16 countries and employs over 43,000 people. The company emphasises sustainability, reducing the environmental impact of chip manufacturing through efficient systems.
