ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ: ASML) is a Dutch company that develops, manufactures and services advanced photolithography systems used to produce semiconductor chips. Headquartered in Veldhoven, Netherlands, ASML supplies capital equipment and associated software and services that enable semiconductor manufacturers to pattern the intricate circuits on silicon wafers.

Its systems are integrated into customers' fabs and supported through installation, maintenance, refurbishment and application engineering to optimize throughput and yield. The company collaborates closely with suppliers and technology partners to develop the optics, illumination and source technologies required for increasingly fine patterning.

Founded in 1984 as a technology joint venture out of the Netherlands, ASML has grown into a global supplier serving major semiconductor manufacturers and foundries across Asia, North America and Europe. The company has expanded capabilities through strategic partnerships and acquisitions to secure critical subsystems, including light-source and optics technologies, while maintaining a strong emphasis on long-term research and development to keep pace with Moore's Law-driven demand for denser, more powerful chips.

ASML is a publicly traded company listed on European and U.S. exchanges and is led by an executive team experienced in semiconductor equipment and systems businesses. Because its tools are central to advanced node production, ASML occupies a strategic position in the semiconductor supply chain, supplying the specialized equipment many leading chipmakers rely on to manufacture high-performance processors and memory devices.
