Korean companies broke the ban on EUV lithography machines in the mainland, and the means reappeared 10 years ago, causing a shock in the industry.
The Korean company broke the ban on EUV lithography technology on the European continent, and the strategy of 10 years ago was reproduced!
Bouncing text conversation technology.
After the decision to restrict EUV lithography machines from entering the mainland market, Korean companies began to realize that this was not only a problem that hindered the development of semiconductors in the mainland, but also the development of Korean semiconductors in the field of cutting-edge technology. After all, both Samsung and SK hynix have a high percentage of production bases on the mainland.
Even after the so-called exemption period was granted by the United States, South Korean companies did not ask for the introduction of EUV lithography. According to the analysis of many professionals, the purpose of this may be to get South Korean companies to abandon their factories on the European continent and transfer production capacity elsewhere.
However, SK hynix has made it clear that it will not withdraw. In this case, does this mean that SK Hynix will abandon the production of high-end processes? Don't worry, SK hynix is not a stupid company, and it quickly found a way to overcome the ban on EUV lithography technology on the European continent.
SK hynix's counterparts continue to make a lot of money, while also opening the door to a ban on lithography.
This is a reproduction of the strategy used by SK Hynix a decade ago.
At that time, a fire broke out at SK hynix's factory in Chinese mainland, and the ** chain was broken. In order to minimize the loss, SK hynix immediately decided to send the remaining ferrule inserts to a local factory and then to China. Although the production capacity was greatly reduced, the risk of production shutdown was minimized, and SK hynix overcame the crisis of the ** chain disruption in a very short time.
Now that this strategy is being used again, it is enough to show that SK hynix believes that this approach is feasible. In fact, this is also the case, because they easily solved the problem of the ban on lithography equipment, which is Lao Mei"One trick fresh"。
Now, the United States may"Dumbfounded"。
After all, people are playing some calculations that cannot be put down, such as forcing South Korean companies to withdraw from production capacity, and curbing investment in the development of semiconductors in the mainland, etc., as a result, South Korean companies have made a good start, in this case, it is estimated that it will cause a chain reaction, so that other foreign companies subject to EUV lithography machines, take the same means. It's just that this approach is not suitable for Chinese companies, after all, mainland enterprises and the mainland market are explicitly prohibited.
If we don't want to rest on our laurels, we have to choose to develop our photography skills most of the time.
Only now, this situation should not be with us, but with ASML, since the ban has caused it to be unable to ship, thus losing a certain market. What's more, in this round, Japanese companies are still eyeing the mainland market, so in this case, all they can do is find a way to ship. At this point, the EUV lithography ban in the United States is likely to evolve over time. What are your thoughts on this? Comments, likes, and shares are welcome!
