Could Canon Become the Next ASML?
ASML Holding (NASDAQ: ASML) is often considered a linchpin of the semiconductor market for two reasons. First, the Dutch company is the world's largest manufacturer of lithography systems, which are used to optically etch circuit patterns onto silicon wafers. Second, it's the only producer of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography systems, which are required to manufacture the world's smallest, densest, and most power-efficient chips.
