“China has built its first domestic prototype of an #EUV #lithography machine. The national effort pulled together so many resources that many compared to China's Manhattan project. But one detail stood out immediately. The #prototype reportedly occupies an entire factory floor.” — Anastasi In Tech #AnastasiInTech / #EE / #ASML / #silicon / #UV / #China / “China Just Built What ASML Feared Most”

“China has crossed a milestone that many in the semiconductor industry once viewed as years away. A #Chinese state-backed company has begun mass producing homegrown immersion deep ultraviolet #DUV #lithography machines, marking the country’s first commercial manufacturing effort for one of the most advanced and tightly controlled pieces of #chipmaking equipment. The move gives Chinese chipmakers their strongest domestic alternative yet to Western lithography systems and marks another step in Beijing’s campaign to reduce reliance on #ForeignTechnology after years of export restrictions from the United States and its allies. The development was first reported by #TheInformation, which said the Shanghai-based manufacturer has already started production and expects to deliver its first systems to leading domestic chipmakers later this year.” #28Nm / #7Nm / #5Nm / #lithography / #silicon
