In China,Lithography machineIt is mainly used in the manufacturing process of integrated circuits (ICs), especially in the manufacturing processSemiconductorsOEMFabs, wafersOEMEnterprises and packaging and testing enterprises and other links.

These businesses are from the NetherlandsasmlImported lithography equipment and systems for the production of various types and specificationsChips

Despite the fact that our country is inChipsSome progress has been made in this field, but there is still a big gap compared with the world's advanced level. Therefore, for those with core technologies and advanced manufacturing capabilitiesLithography machineEquipment is still dependent on imports. However, in the face of China acceleratedChipsThe momentum of industrial development, the United States has adopted a series of upgradesSemiconductorscontrol measures of action, attempts to restrictChinese chipsThe development of the industry.

Among them, the most direct measure is to ask Japan and the Netherlands to ban the sale of advanced DUV (deepultr**iolet).Lithography machineSystem.

According to reports, the United States wants to ban the sale of DUVsLithography machine, preventing China from being able to independently design and manufacture advancedChipscapacity.

However, the Netherlands ** withasmlThe abrupt reversal of the United States has frustrated its plans.

As a result, orders for related equipment purchased by Chinese enterprises were cancelled, resulting in the purchase of advanced modelsLithography machineLose its usefulness and eventually face scrapping.

According to sources, the United States will next stop dealing with ChinaLithography machineof parts, which will further affect Chinese enterprisesChipsIndustrial planning and normal production tasks.

The United States against ChinaSemiconductorsThe continuation of the war is not just rightChinese chipsThe suppression of the industry is also on the worldSemiconductorsEquipment industry chain andChain's stability has had an impact.

First of all, China is the largest in the worldChipsConsumer market, rightLithography machineThe demand for equipment is huge. asmlAs the world's largestLithography machineThe Chinese market is one of its most important customers.

Secondly, the United States against ChinaSemiconductorsThe continuation of the war also violated international rules and undermined the international industrial chainChainsecurity and stability. Chinese chipsThe development of the industry has become the focus of global attention, hoping to reduce imports through technological innovation and independent research and developmentChipsand device dependency. The United States advanced through the banLithography machineand parts, trying to blockChinese chipsThe development of the industry, which is not only for the Chinese economy andTechnologyThe suppression of strength is also a destruction of the international order.

In response to this situation, China has expressed its opposition and dissatisfaction with the actions of the United States. The Chinese side believes that the United States is obstructing the NetherlandsasmlThe best equipment in China is an act that violates the international best rules and will be against the worldChainand stability. The Chinese side stressed that China will take all necessary measures to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests, and calls on the international community to work together to maintain a free, fair, open and non-discriminatory international environment.

To sum up, the United States has a negative attitude towards ChinaSemiconductorsThe continuation of the war will have serious implicationsChinese chipsindustry development and globalSemiconductorsStability of the equipment industry chain. China should increase investment in independent R&D and innovation, and continuously improve its technological strength and manufacturing capacity to reduce its dependence on imported equipment and components. At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen cooperation with the international community to maintain a free and fair international environment and promote the worldSemiconductorsThe healthy development of the industry.
