**Domestic DUV lithography machine: breaking through the blockade of the Netherlands, China's power of self-improvement in science and technology**
On September 6, the Netherlands made an announcement that shook the global tech community - they announced export restrictions on two DUV lithography machines. DUV lithography is one of the key equipment for manufacturing chips, and ASML in the Netherlands has a near monopoly on the global market in this field. As soon as the news came out, the science and technology circles at home and abroad were in an uproar, and everyone was discussing: Is China's chip industry going to be stuck in the neck again this time?
At this critical moment, on September 9, a "major equipment technology promotion plan" of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology suddenly dropped a bombshell. In the low-key release of the document, there are two names that are enough to subvert the situation - **krypton fluoride lithography machine** and **argon fluoride lithography machine**. The official debut of the domestic lithography machine means that we have our own powerful weapons in this high-tech game.

The news came so suddenly and shockingly. For a time, domestic netizens were boiling.
**Netherlands' Stuck Neck Trick: Suspense Under Lockdown**
Back on September 6, the atmosphere seemed oppressive. The news of Netherlands' restriction on the export of DUV lithography machines quickly detonated major science and technology forums and social media, and everyone was worried: China's semiconductor industry was already on the cusp of being sanctioned by Western countries, and now even the core equipment of lithography machines must be blocked, how can chip manufacturing continue in the future?
"Isn't this trying to jam us?" Some netizens said angrily.
"The lithography machine is gone, what to do with the chip? This is the core lifeblood! Others are even more worried.
I looked at these comments and couldn't help but get nervous. As someone who has been following the technology field for a long time, I know the importance of lithography machines. The chip manufacturing process is extremely sophisticated and complex, and state-of-the-art chip production is almost impossible without a lithography machine. This restrictive policy is undoubtedly a major blow to the mainland's chip industry.
And at this moment, a push message suddenly popped up on my mobile phone: **The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released a major equipment technology promotion plan, and the domestic krypton fluoride lithography machine and argon fluoride lithography machine were unveiled. **
Seeing this title, my heart beat faster instantly. What? Domestic lithography machine? How is this possible! I could scarcely believe my eyes.
**Surprise coming: the "gift package" of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology**
September 9 is destined to be written into the history of China's scientific and technological development.
At the press conference of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, two newly developed lithography machines were born. These two equipment, namely krypton fluoride and argon fluoride lithography machine, sound very professional, and insiders know that this is one of the important technologies of DUV lithography machine. The most shocking thing is that these two devices are all independently developed and manufactured by the mainland.
When the footage of the press conference was uploaded to the Internet, it exploded instantly. Countless netizens have left messages, expressing irrepressible excitement and pride.
"This time Netherlands stuck our necks, but I didn't expect it to give us a chance to show our strength! The domestic lithography machine is finally here! Some netizens excitedly typed a long list of exclamation points.
"Netherlands is like that, we are self-sufficient, not dependent on outsiders!" A netizen made no secret of his admiration for the motherland's science and technology.
Some people also recalled history: "I think that back then, we could develop the atomic bomb in the case of poverty and whiteness, and today with such a strong technical foundation, what is the lithography machine!" ”
My heart was filled with excitement too. This is not only a technological victory, but also a great counterattack by China under the global technological blockade.
**The Road to Breakthrough: Hardship and Hope**
In fact, lithography machines have always been called the "crown jewels" of manufacturing chips. ASML in the Netherlands has almost monopolized the global lithography machine market, especially the high-end EUV lithography machine, and the technical barriers are extremely high. Our country's chip industry is struggling with sanctions precisely because of the lack of high-end lithography machines. However, the emergence of DUV lithography machine has filled the gap of domestic equipment.
After the news was released, I saw discussions among netizens in several science and technology forums, and some people began to analyze seriously: "Although the domestic lithography machine may not be able to reach the level of ASML immediately, this is a huge breakthrough." In the future, we will no longer be completely dependent on imports, and the chip industry chain can finally achieve partial independence. ”
Some people asked: "Although domestic lithography machines have appeared, have they entered large-scale mass production?" Is the performance stable? After all, the lithography machine is too complicated, and many key parts still rely on imports? ”
There is some truth to these questions. After all, the development and manufacture of lithography machines is an extremely complex process. Even if we make a breakthrough in technology, it will take time to improve the industrial chain and improve the stability and reliability of equipment.
However, although the road ahead is still difficult, the emergence of domestic lithography machines still gives everyone hope. At least, we have our own "weapons" on the future battlefield of science and technology.
**Future Prospects: A Smooth Road for High-end Chips**
With the birth of domestic DUV lithography machines, the road to high-end chips in the mainland will undoubtedly become smoother.
As we all know, chips are the core of modern technology, whether it is smartphones, autonomous driving, 5G communication or artificial intelligence, they are inseparable from the support of chips. The technological breakthrough of the lithography machine means that we have the ability to produce more high-performance chips independently, and we no longer need to passively wait for the favor of overseas technology.
In my opinion, this is not only a triumph of science and technology, but also a triumph of national pride. The successful birth of the domestic lithography machine is undoubtedly a great encouragement to the entire Chinese scientific and technological community. It not only allows us to see the infinite possibilities of the future, but also makes every Chinese full of confidence in their country.
I believe that in the future, China's chip industry will no longer be controlled by others. The emergence of domestic lithography machines is only a beginning of our road to scientific and technological self-improvement. More technological breakthroughs and innovations are bound to emerge in the near future.
**Enlightenment of domestic lithography machine**
At this point in the story, I can't help but think of the beginning of China's aerospace industry. In those years, in the face of blockade and sanctions, we accomplished the great feat of "two bombs and one satellite" under extremely difficult conditions. Today, in the field of semiconductors, the birth of domestic lithography machines seems to once again verify the Chinese's indomitable and difficult momentum.
The lockdown in the Netherlands has become an opportunity for us to break through ourselves. The debut of the domestic DUV lithography machine proves a truth: as long as we are united, no external blockade and suppression can stop the pace of China's scientific and technological progress.
Friends, do you think this breakthrough is too powerful? Our future will be brighter. I hope that you are like me, and look forward to more surprises brought to the world by Chinese technology in the near future!
Don't forget to like and follow, we will continue to talk about technology and the future of China next time!
