Explainer: How ASML’s $250 Million Machine Powers Nvidia’s Advanced Chips

ASML’s role in the semiconductor industry is one of the most critical and often misunderstood pieces of modern technology. NVIDIA and other chip designers rely on the Dutch company’s machines to produce the advanced chips that power AI, data centers, and next-gen computing, without ASML’s Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography systems, the world’s leading chipmakers would struggle to print the incredibly tiny circuits required for today’s high-performance processors.
