A report says that China has until September 1st to import a key chipmaking tool from ASML.
One of the most important tools needed to make chips is the lithography machine. This machine is used to etch circuitry designs on silicon wafers. With billions of transistors used on cutting-edge chips, these patterns need to be extremely thin. The human hair has a diameter of 70 microns which is 1,000 times larger than the dimensions you would see on a circuitry pattern.
. Not having these machines prevents China's leading foundry, SMIC, from catching up to TSMC and Samsung Foundry in terms of process nodes.But other ASML lithography machines have been imported into China, per; from January through July China's imports of Dutch lithography machines, nearly all of which came from ASML, totaled $2.58 billion which is up 64.8% on an annual basis according to customs data collected by Chinese semiconductor industry consultancy JW Insights.
ASML announced last month that heavy demand for its products from China helped to offset a global semiconductor industry slump and allowed ASML to report higher earnings. While ASML has seen a delay in demand for its DUV machines, company CEO Peter Wennink said that it has witnessed strong demand from China for tools used to produce chips using older process nodes.
