SAN JOSE, Calif. — Japan's Gigaphoton Inc., a lithography light-source manufacturer, has signed a support contract with ASML Holding NV of the Netherlands.

Under the terms, ASML will provide support for Gigaphoton (Oyama) and its products in the United States. ASML and Gigaphoton have agreed on sharing technical expertise as well.

The agreement covers laser installation and sustaining maintenance. Gigaphoton has been supplying excimer laser light sources for lithography tools to ASML since 2000.

Gigaphoton was founded in 2000 as a joint venture of Japan's Komatsu Ltd. and Ushio Inc. The company competes against Cymer Inc. (San Diego).
