Introduction: 78 lithography machines, 15 offices, foreign media: ASML has no scruples? After the global chip market was short of
, many countries and regions began to accelerate their development in the chip field. Chip production giants such as TSMC, Samsung and SMIC have also begun to invest in establishing chip factories and expand their production capacity; this has also made lithography machines that produce chips a hot item in the market; Dutch ASML, as a giant in the lithography machine field, has made a lot of money by selling lithography machines over the years!
In the field of lithography machines, ASML is almost the dominant
lithography machine. As the top crystallization of human intelligence, it can be said that its research and development and production are undoubtedly very difficult. Now in the global market, there are only a few manufacturers that can create lithography machines, including ASML, Canon , Nikon and Shanghai Microelectronics. In the high-end lithography machine market, ASML is almost the dominant, and the advanced EUV lithography machine it produces is a necessary equipment for producing chips below 7nm!
ASML has changed its attitude and accelerated its development in the Chinese market
It is worth mentioning that although my country has booked an advanced EUV lithography machine from ASML for a long time, ASML has not delivered until now; under the restrictions of the United States, ASML's lithography machine can no longer be shipped freely, so it is even more hopeless to receive this lithography machine; under this circumstance, China has also begun to accelerate its development in the field of lithography machines, but ASML said: Even if the drawings are made public, the mainland cannot create advanced EUV lithography machines; however, with the continuous development of the entire chip market, ASML has now changed its attitude and accelerated its development in the Chinese market!
78 lithography machines and 15 offices, ASML is constantly moving! The reason why we cannot create advanced EUV lithography machines is mainly because lithography machines are really too difficult to build. An advanced EUV lithography machine not only has more than 100,000 parts, but these parts also come from more than 5,000 suppliers around the world. The difficulty is naturally self-evident. However, with the rapid development of my country, ASML has also seen the unlimited development potential of the Chinese market, and ASML has naturally accelerated its layout in the Chinese market. It is reported that ASML has shipped 78 lithography machines in China, and has established 15 offices and 3 development centers in China; and will also build a new maintenance center in China; in the face of the rapid development of ASML, foreign media have also said: ASML is not scruples?
Foreign media: ASML has no scruples?
In fact, in recent years, ASML has been recruiting lithography machine talents from the mainland market and expanding its development scale. Now the mainland market has become one of the largest markets of ASML; when the United States wants to further restrict the shipment of lithography machines, ASML has expressed its attitude without any scruples, and will increase its development efforts in the Chinese market!
And the reason why ASML has no scruples is mainly because on the one hand, the current market in the consumer electronics field is declining, and the orders of TSMC and Samsung are also decreasing. The demand for high-end EUV lithography machines is not strong. If you insist on advanced EUV lithography machines, it will only put ASML's development into a bottleneck. In addition, the market has a strong demand for chips above 28nm, and the shipment of DUV lithography machines that produce mature process chips above 28nm is not restricted, so ASML naturally wants to accelerate its development in the Chinese market! I wonder what you think about this?
