[Digital Daily Reporter Kim Moon-ki] It has been revealed that Chinese semiconductor manufacturers have circumvented U.S. export controls and stockpiled over 340 units of deep ultraviolet (DUV) immersion lithography equipment from the Netherlands' ASML over the past few years. According to multiple foreign media outlets, including the South China Morning Post (SCMP), on the 2nd (local time), citing the latest report published by the Center for …
大纪元 Epoch Times
阿波罗新闻网The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been investing heavily in the development of advanced chip design and production, but its ambitions have been hampered by a lack of cutting-edge lithography equipment. A recent report written in late September by former U.S. export control officials revealed that Chinese semiconductor factories have stockpiled hundreds of immersion lithography (DUV) machines worth billions of dollars in recent years; these f…
China has stockpiled hundreds of ASML lithography machines - enough to mass-produce 7nm artificial intelligence accelerators in the next few years
Chinese chipmakers have stockpiled hundreds of ASML deep ultraviolet (DUV) immersion lithography machines. Although they are not as advanced as advanced EUV systems, such equipment can be used to produce 7-nanometer logic wafers and memory for AI accelerators. Some equipment purchased for mature technology processes can be repurposed for more advanced production – supporting China’s […]
