After learning that we were about to break the monopoly of their team in the chip field, the Dutch semiconductor giant ASML couldn't sit still and kidnapped us morally in the international community, saying that China's independent research and development of lithography machines will lead to earth-shaking changes in the international lithography machine market, and even destroy the global chip industry chain. Dutch lithography machine manufacturers want to push our country to the opposite side of the world in this way, so what kind of breakthrough has China made in the field of lithography machine? Why are Dutch lithography machine manufacturers so panicked?
In the field of semiconductors, the role of lithography machine is quite remarkable, it is also a very important equipment in the global chip industry chain, and many countries do have an advantage in the global chip industry chain, but if they do not have a lithography machine in their hands, it also means that the advantages that these countries have worked hard to create will all disappear. It is no exaggeration to say that nearly 60% of the lithography machine market share in the global market is now controlled by them, and it is precisely because of this that they make a lot of money every year.
SML companies have no shortage of orders at all, for other semiconductor manufacturers, they may need to find their own customers, but for this company in the Netherlands, they don't need to do publicity at all, because every year a lot of people take the initiative to find them, including China. At the beginning, China's cooperation with them was also very smooth, until the United States intervened in this matter, the United States always felt that China's strong rise would affect the development of its own position, in this case, the United States forced the Dutch SML company to unite with itself. The Dutch company is actually very reluctant to compromise, because every year our country cooperates with this company, which can also bring him a lot of profits.
But looking at it now, after the United States forces itself, it will lead to these profits being handed over to others, and he is naturally very unhappy. I remember that after the United States saw that the Netherlands was unwilling to let go, it tried every means to sanction him, and in response to this phenomenon, SML had no choice but to compromise. In the eyes of these Western countries, as long as they unite to target us, then our country's development will not have any advantages, but what they didn't expect is that when our country was blocked by them, it did not give up looking for other paths, and our country chose a curve to save the country, that is, independent research and development, Because we know that we can't rely on others at all.
In response to this phenomenon, both the Netherlands and the United States are anxious, because of the market sales of SML companies, and because of the target of us, it began to plummet all the way. In fact, this really can't blame us, it can only be said that the United States has done things too much, since he found that the semiconductor field in the international community is becoming more and more important, the United States will not allow any semiconductor power to make friends with us, if we do not work hard to break the monopoly, it will only make our development more and more undominant, when the time comes, the things of hundreds of years ago may be repeated again, in response to such a phenomenon, China simply set up a scientific and technological team by itself, With the joint efforts of these scientific and technological teams in China, China has finally developed a series of different models of lithography machines.
When the news was known to the international community, the CEO of SML in the Netherlands immediately couldn't sit still, and responded to this matter, saying that China's independent research on lithography machines is very immoral, and even said that the global chip industry chain will fall into a very passive situation because of China's move, the implication is that we can only be stuck by their necks, in order to be able to make their words more convincing, he also said that now the global chip industry chain is actually very close, No link can lose balance, and China's practice has led to a deviation in the balance, which may lead to the entire industrial chain being affected. China is not in a hurry to pay attention to such a statement, because the reason why we have embarked on the road of independent research and development is completely because these Western countries have pushed us too hard. When we learned that they were going to sanction us in the field of chips, our country also made a lot of efforts, and now we have finally achieved a breakthrough in this field, but they can't sit still. In the face of their response, our country does not need to pay attention to it, and it is okay to still work hard to develop it on its own. Do you think they will be able to sit still in the future?
