TSMC makes wafers themselves, Dutch ASML is in scanner business, not wafer making machines.

They are called wafer-steppers and they transfer the design onto the wafer.

Actually making the wafer into proper chips is multi-multi-step proces ( like 50 - 100 steps ).

Stepper are not used on high end nodes for more than a decade. I believe anything 130nm, and lower uses a scanner.
