ASML, the Dutch semiconductor equipment maker, is drawing renewed attention for its extreme ultraviolet lithography machines, which reportedly cost around $400 million each and are essential to producing every advanced AI chip. Commentators argue that the company occupies a unique chokepoint in the AI supply chain, since no competitor can currently match its technology, making it central to debates over chip supply and export controls.
Why now: Surging interest in AI chip production has put ASML's irreplaceable lithography technology back in the spotlight.
