I don't believe there's currently any alternatives to ASML's machines for EUV lithography. Unless you're fine using an older process node with lower efficiency. Of course these nodes are fine for a lot of applications still, but I have trouble believing there's any alternatives for cutting edge CPUs, GPUs, etc.
