An extreme ultraviolet lithography machine used in leading-edge chip fabrication costs more than $100 million and is made solely by ASML in the Netherlands.
Notes on verification
Multiple independent contemporaneous sources (Forbes, CNBC, Fool.com, Asia Times, Construction Physics) corroborate both the >$100M price point and ASML's sole-manufacturer status for EUV lithography machines. No contradicting sources found.
