Not Nvidia. Not TSMC. This Equipment Maker Is the Real Bottleneck in AI Chip Production.
Key PointsThe top foundries can’t produce their newest chips without ASML’s EUV systems.
ASML, a Dutch equipment maker, reigns supreme over the AI chip production process. Nvidia and TSMC, the leading AI chip manufacturers, rely on ASML's lithography systems to etch intricate circuit patterns onto silicon wafers. ASML also exclusively produces extreme ultraviolet (EUV) systems, essential for creating the tiniest and most densely packed AI chips.
With a massive first-mover advantage and high barriers to entry, ASML's dominance ensures the AI supply chain's smooth operation. The company's revenue growth, driven by the demand for advanced AI chips, is expected to propel its growth in the coming years, making it an attractive investment option.
