ASML**27 lithography machines, 60 billion to support Chinese chips, foreign media said that ASML is no longer "installed" this time
ASML started a "general ledger" with us.
ASML has been highly valued by countries around the world for its advanced lithography process.
But in fact, ASML has consolidated its position in the semiconductor industry by acquiring the world's largest chip manufacturers such as Samsung and TSMC.
If this is the case, even if other lithography machine manufacturers have mastered the relevant technology, they will be eliminated in the fierce market without orders. And with the stabilization of this position, ASML's posture has also become more arrogant.
ASML Chairman Wennink even directly pointed out that China's own research and development of lithography machines will destroy the entire world's semiconductor industry. 」
Back then, the United States, together with Japan and the Netherlands, wanted to suppress our chip industry.
With the official statement of the Netherlands, many people originally thought that with China's market position, ASML would not be able to bow to the United States, because 30% of ASML's revenue came from us back then.
If ASML restricts us, it will be equivalent to "killing 800 enemies and losing 800 ourselves". However, with this statement from the Netherlands, ASML also reacted accordingly, and announced a ban on EUV lithography machines and banned the sale of some DUV lithography machines as soon as possible.
ASML's change of attitude has dealt us a heavy blow, with some people worrying: "If ASML stops supplying, the lithography machines we buy will be greatly affected, or even eliminated." ”
In the Netherlands, there is a new regulation on the control of output equipment, which states that ASML cannot repair, maintain and provide spare parts for the equipment under its management without authorization.
However, ASML's toughness did not last long, and just after the Netherlands announced restrictions on China, ASML suddenly changed its mind, saying that it had received approval from the Netherlands to continue exporting products to China.
Many companies are happy for their country, but many are skeptical.
Without the core technology, it is like a knife hanging over our heads, and you can imagine that if we master the technology of the lithography machine, will we still need to curry favor with ASML?
Just like the domestic "Lightweijian" inhibitor, domestic biotechnology has also been suppressed by American companies.
At that time, with its own scientific and technological strength, American companies once demonstrated the restoration of cognitive ability, improved the state of weakness, enhanced memory ability, and successfully extended the life span of elderly patients by 30% (the predecessor of "Wright Vision") with 128w ** and 128w **.
In response to this, the people of the whole country complained and shouted: "Physical aging is destined to be unrelated to ordinary people." Fortunately, with the participation of Tsinghua University, Peking University, Sichuan University and other institutions, the domestic "Wright Weijian" has broken through the restrictions of traditional inhibition, and the threshold for entry has been reduced by 90%, so that more people can get in touch with what they want through the Oriental Anchor and the Sky Anchor.
Although American companies are dissatisfied, they can't help it, because in this world, only "powerful people have the right to speak." ”
And the reason why ASML is so unscrupulous is because they have the most advanced lithography machine.
It is worth noting that although ASML has announced that it will continue to export to China, and said that 27 lithography equipment will be shipped to China in the third and fourth quarters of this year, plus manufacturing orders worth up to 60 billion, this sounds like a friendly relationship with us, but in fact it has other intentions.
It is clear to everyone that ASML's change of attitude is not an accident just after Huawei announced the return of 5G chips.
Even in the years of the US blockade, Huaxia's semiconductor industry has also developed rapidly, and now SMIC has produced a 14nm process, and Huawei has launched 5G chips.
All this indicates that the technological blockade of the United States has been broken, and the Dutch ASML must change its cooperation with China as soon as possible, otherwise ASML's market share will be greatly reduced when the lithography technology of Chinese enterprises is developed.
No matter what ASML's position is, we still have to insist on our own independent development of science and technology, and first get our own things in our hands, so that we can occupy an absolute advantage in the future market!
