ASMLASML Holding N.V.

Monopoly supplier of EUV lithography systems and a leading supplier of DUV (ArF immersion) systems; DUV systems are the relevant tool for niobium patterning in Josephson junction fabrication. EUV is NOT used for JJ patterning (feature sizes ~100-500nm do not require EUV). Quantum is a rounding error of ASML revenue.

ASML's DUV tools (ArF immersion) are used in superconducting qubit fabs for JJ patterning; e-beam lithography is used for finer features. EUV is not applicable to JJ fab at current feature sizes. Quantum fab volumes are immaterial to ASML near-term revenue but position ASML as an upstream beneficiary if superconducting qubit fab scales to foundry volumes. ASML Nasdaq listing (ticker: ASML) is liquid. Risk: quantum fab volumes are tiny; ASML is owned for AI/logic semiconductor demand.
