Reply to comment by Kevin_Jim in TSMC says efforts to rebuild US semiconductor industry are doomed to fail by 0wed12
ASML's entire business is building and selling those machines. TSMC in Taiwan uses ASML machines. Samsung in South Korea uses ASML machines. Intel in the US uses ASML machines. Chip manufacturing in the Netherlands is virtually zero.
The US was able to ban ASML from exporting these machines to China because a patent held on the deep ultra violet technology was developed using US federal funding.
