The United States has never recognized China's rise, and in order to undermine China's development plan, the United States has imposed all-round sanctions on China, and even deliberately stuck China's throat in some specific areas, which is called "impossible".
Huawei, for example, has been committed to its own chip research and development over the years, but at this juncture, the United States suddenly intervened, and the intention of the United States is self-evident, that is, to use this way to force Huawei to comply. The reason why the United States will be stuck in the neck, to put it bluntly, is that the technology of the lithography machine is not mature enough.
How difficult can a high-end lithography machine be? Experts say that only two countries in the world, Japan and the Netherlands, can produce such products. Although China has made remarkable achievements in recent years, there is still a big gap in the level of domestic lithography machines, and some experts say that high-end lithography machines are difficult to manufacture, even if they master the technology, they may not be able to create.
It is understood that a high-end lithography machine, its parts are very complex, often need engineers from all over the country to work together, can be manufactured, and because the manufacturing difficulty is too high, generally will not be easy to sell.
You know, the lithography machine is used to manufacture nano-level chips, the quality requirements for parts are extremely high, once an engineer once said, a lithography machine parts, just a part, it takes decades of polishing, hundreds of times of debugging, is enough to explain the manufacturing difficulty of this lithography machine.
China once ordered a high-end lithography machine from the Netherlands, but it has not yet been delivered, and it is conceivable that in a short period of time, China will still be stuck in the neck of the chip.
Compared with the West, China still has a certain gap in this regard, but China is not discouraged, and has put a lot of effort into this area over the years.
At the beginning, China was fully sanctioned by Western countries, but even so, China persisted to the end, and since then, China has understood that it does not want to be bullied by other countries, so over the years, China has been committed to developing science and technology, hoping to close the gap with Western countries.
Although the quality of China's chips needs to be improved, the lithography machine has been developed, although there is still a certain gap in technology with the Netherlands, Japan and other countries, but it is already trying to close this gap. Experts said that with China's current development rate, in the near future, China will also have the ability to produce high-end lithography machines.
Lithography machine is only a microcosm, China has been blocked by Western countries for a long time, decades later, China has finally walked out of its own path, even if high-end lithography machine technology is difficult to master, China will wait patiently.
