Introduction: 6 months left! US media: ASML lithography machine is coming at a critical moment in domestic shipments!
As we all know, after the old United States has modified the chip rules many times, it has directly disrupted the balance of the development of the global chip market; and this also allows us to see the true face of the old united states, if we want to develop in the field of semiconductor chips without being stuck in the neck, then we must create our own domestic semiconductor "supply chain" system; with the continuous attention to the domestic semiconductor industry, we have also formulated the goal of domestic chip development: to achieve 70% chip self-sufficiency rate by 2025!
Solving the card neck problem of the lithography machine is crucial
You know, if you want to create our own domestic semiconductor industry chain, then the top priority of development is chip production; now in China we can design advanced chips, like Huawei HiSilicon has been able to design and develop 5nm Kirin chips, but we are relatively backward in the field of chip production, so after TSMC does not produce chips for Huawei, Huawei's HiSilicon Kirin chips have become a masterpiece; and want to layout in the field of chip production, Then we must first solve the problem of the card neck of the lithography machine!
Seeing the rapid development of China in the field of lithography machines, ASML can only do it in a hurry
At present, the world's leading lithography machine is monopolized by the Dutch ASML company, and its EUV lithography machine is a necessary equipment for the production of chips below the 7nm process; but under the restrictions of the old United States, ASML's EUV lithography machine cannot be shipped freely; although the mainland has spent a lot of money to book an EUV lithography machine very early, but has not received the goods until now; in this case, we can only rely on independent research and development in the field of lithography machines, watching the rapid development of Chinese technology companies in the field of lithography machines , ASML can only be in a hurry!
US media: ASML lithography machine is coming at a critical moment in domestic shipments
It is reported that in the field of lithography machine, there are some domestic technology companies have been at the forefront of the world, among which the domestic plasma etching machine independently developed by Shanghai Zhongwei Semiconductor Company has reached the level of 3nm, almost ahead of other technology companies; and Shanghai Microelectronics, another major lithography giant in the mainland, has long realized the production and manufacture of 90nm lithography machine, and the 28nm lithography machine developed by it will also be delivered before the end of 2022, with a 28nm lithography machine. Then we can quickly break through to the 10nm range, and now there are still about 6 months left before the end of the year, for which the US media also said: ASML lithography machine in the domestic shipment of the key moment is coming!
China as the world's largest chip consumer market, but also the world's largest lithography machine market, ASML company has always wanted to expand the development of the Chinese market, but under the restrictions of the old United States, ASML's top EUV lithography machine has been unable to ship freely in China, which has also seriously affected the development of ASML company; now China's independent research and development of domestic advanced lithography machine is also coming, which does mean that ASML lithography machine in the domestic shipment of key moments come, If you can't get the permission to freely ship, then wait until our self-developed domestic lithography machine comes, then ASML will also lose the largest lithography machine market!
Now ASML company is rich can not earn, watching the rapid development of the Chinese market in the field of lithography machines, ASML is also powerless. All along, ASML has been striving for free shipment in China, but has not been approved; and the president of ASML also said: if you do not ship to the Chinese market, then it will only force them to achieve self-sufficiency in the field of lithography machines, and now we are indeed so, so the domestic market has little time left for ASML lithography machines!
