Netherlands AND Holland? Isn't that the same place? Also: Even while ASML steppers are built in Netherlands, there are a lot of other non-photolithography tools needed to build a fab in addition to the ASML tools.

> Netherlands AND Holland? Isn't that the same place? Holland is part of the Netherlands. Not unlike how say Texas is part of the United States. So in that regard the statement was redundant, yes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holland

  And ASML is not in Holland, nor is Nexperia or ASMI. I can't think of any semiconductor business in "Holland".

    ASML has offices in Delft, so in proper HN Standard Pedantic Form: Well, actually there is!

      And to be extremely pedantic, machines are not built there. It's a tiny satellite office.

Roughly half the Capex for a new modern fab goes to ASML.
