- foobiekr 3y agoThis is because almost all of the critical EUV tech was developed by the US DOE and a US industry consortium plus a US valley company called Cymer and was transferred to ASML as a political move that excluded the Japanese companies in the space. This is not to say ASML is not an impressive company, but it's amazing to see it held up as proof of Europe having a real tech industry. This all used to be on the ASML site, but they appear to have scrubbed it. See https://imgur.com/gallery/8G08q2c https://imgur.com/gallery/8G08q2c
