About ASML Holding
ASML Holding is the sole maker of extreme ultraviolet lithography machines, the equipment that prints the finest features on advanced chips. It makes money selling these systems to chip manufacturers and servicing them across decades of operation.
Its product line runs from EUV lithography systems like the TWINSCAN NXE:3800E to High-NA EUV, the next generation that enables even smaller features. TSMC, Samsung, and Intel all depend on ASML machines to produce leading-edge AI chips.
Founded in 1984 and headquartered in Veldhoven, Netherlands, ASML trades on the NASDAQ and employs about 43,938 people.
ASML Holding in the AI buildout
ASML sits in the Chip Equipment & Foundries layer of the buildout as its single most concentrated chokepoint. It holds a monopoly on EUV lithography, and TSMC, Samsung, and Intel cannot produce leading-edge AI chips without its machines. Exposure hinges on AI sustaining advanced-node capacity expansion, though memory and mature-node demand also cycle its orders. That position earns it an AI Exposure Score of 70 out of 100.
ASML is tracked in Chip Equipment & Foundries, rated Core on the AI Exposure leaderboard.
