Advanced semiconductor manufacturing depends on one of the most sophisticated technologies ever industrialized: extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography.
The EUV Chokepoint examines how concentrated equipment capabilities, extraordinary engineering complexity, and lengthy semiconductor fabrication cycles create a strategic constraint on the global expansion of advanced computing.
The paper explores why growing demand and increased capital investment cannot immediately translate into additional leading-edge chip production—and why EUV capacity has become a critical consideration in technology competition, industrial policy, supply-chain resilience, and long-term capital allocation.
