Earlier quoted context omitted.
It says "Original Lego parts" on the page. Apparently, it was created by Rick Lenssen [1], who works at the Development & Engineering department of ASML. It seems more likely that he used existing bricks, instead of molding new ones. [1] https://ricklenssen.com/
With that surname working for ASML must be a dream job ;-)

#12There seems to be a model of the ASML TWINSCAN NXE3400C which shows the inner workings, but doesn't show on the ASML site. Would be neat if someone could track down the build instructions.

There is another set available on their site.

#13> The TWINSCAN EXE:5000 is the first 0.55 NA, or ‘High NA’, EUV lithography system. Its 8 nm resolution will enable chipmakers to print with a single exposure features 1.7 times smaller – and therefore achieve transistor densities 2.9 times higher – than those possible using TWINSCAN NXE systems.

#14Incredible technology - the light-source works by generating droplets of molten tin, firing them through a chamber at around (IIRC) 200mph, and hitting each droplet with two laser pulses... at 50kHz.
How they achieve that using Lego is beyond me.

Ha ha, too funny.
Export prohibited under the Wassenaar arrangement but ... where are all the pieces made?

I'm so confused by this sentence. What does the real thing have to do with Lego?
