What it is
Cymer, a San Diego company ASML acquired in 2013, develops the EUV light source: a system that fires a high-power CO2 laser at ~50,000 tin droplets per second to create the 13.5nm plasma light. Light-source power and stability were for years the main bottleneck limiting EUV throughput and adoption. As an ASML subsidiary it is a critical, hard-to-replicate node feeding the EUV chokepoint.
