Well, the pursuit of a lithography breakthrough, Chinese engineers reportedly managed to ‘break’ ASML’s DUV equipment, and actually called out the Dutch firm to sort out the problem. An Attempt By Chinese Technicians To ‘Decode’ ASML’s DUV Tools Miserably Failed & Ironically, The Dutch Firm Was Called to Help The Chinese semiconductor industry faces a critical barrier in scaling up chip production, primarily due to the lack of lithography equipment in fabs. This limitation has confined firms like SMIC to a specific production volume and prevented them from scaling up significantly for several years now. Apart from developing in-house alternatives, […]
