ASML announced the failure of "corner overtaking", foreign media: things were made big.
Over the years, I don't know how many foreign companies have entered China, such as Apple, such as Samsung, they have invested a lot of money in the Chinese market, and they have also achieved certain results in China.
Especially in the area of semiconductor chips, because the development of China's semiconductor industry is relatively lagging behind, and as an indispensable part of the modern industry, China has to import a large number of foreign products every year. According to relevant data, in 2018 alone, it cost 400 billion US dollars for the import of semiconductors!
Huawei's Kirin processor has brought us a glimmer of hope, but it has been suppressed by the United States and finally trapped in chip manufacturing.
The United States has imposed a series of restrictions on Huawei, including restrictions on chips, as well as the "non-core availability" of Huawei, as well as the production of Kirin.
Prior to this, in order to break the monopoly of the United States on the semiconductor industry, the state has formulated since last year to increase the domestic production capacity of domestic chips to 70% by 2025, and has given a large number of financial subsidies and preferential treatment to encourage and support enterprises to accelerate research and development.
Of course, the United States cannot sit idly by, so round after round of suppression of Chinese companies, so far, the United States has put more than 1,200 companies on the "blacklist", and formed a "four major chip alliance" with its allies, signed a "tripartite agreement", trying to remove China from the world, so that China's semiconductor industry fell into the blockade of 14nm! !
However, what Biden never expected was that Huawei and other Chinese companies did not succumb to the threat of the United States, but continued to invest in their own research, Ren Zhengfei even took out 20% of the income to conduct research, SMIC has established four advanced chip production bases in Shenzhen, Shanghai, Tianjin, and Beijing, and has made breakthroughs in Shanghai Microelectronics, Harbin Institute of Technology and other enterprises and universities.
Not long ago, Japan put pressure on Japan and the Netherlands to quickly fulfill the trilateral agreement, and included 23 kinds of semiconductor equipment such as lithography machines, etching machines, and ** machines in the "prohibition list", and reduced the process to 45nm. The Netherlands also said that they would have more control over the deep ultraviolet machine. For this point, foreign ** said: China's "corner overtaking" has failed.
However, at the moment when the three companies reached an agreement, ASML announced that they had received an order for DUV lithography machines from the Netherlands, and ASML's 2000i and above DUV lithography machines, that is, next year, we will be able to import more DUV lithography machines from Germany.
Coupled with the blockade of Huawei by the United States, many local companies have embarked on the road of domestic chips, which is also the reason for the "crazy order cut" in recent years. According to the data, from 2022 to the present, the number of domestic semiconductor equipment has dropped by 157 billion, all of which have been replaced by domestic products, that is to say, the sales of Meixin Semiconductor in China are not good, even in the face of pressure from the United States, ASML is not willing to give up the Chinese market, in order to stabilize income, they must export products to China as much as possible.
However, now, Huawei is back with Kirin chips, there is no doubt about it, and some foreign ** commented: This matter must be a big incident. It can be expected that China's semiconductor industry will usher in an unstoppable era, and China's chip technology will be completely destroyed!
