ASML's EUV light sources are made in San Diego (ex Cymer) and many of their EUV twin scan machines are made in Wilton, CT. So oddly it seems they outsource to the US.

Cymer seems to only do DUV light sources, the EUV stuff is developed by Trumpf and Zeis in Germany.

"ASML San Diego is responsible for the R&D and manufacturing of EUV light sources for lithography systems. Cymer focuses on DUV light sources." From ASML's website.

ASML San Diego was part of their joint research before acquisition.

afaik they bought Cymer specifically for the light sources, so it makes some sense.
