ASML

Huawei-linked Chinese startup has developed a nearly complete suite of semiconductor manufacturing tools to enable fully domestic chip production amid escalating export controls.

Chipmakers and producers of chipmaking tools call EU for the second round of European Chips Act funding.

It now employs 44,000 people and raked in nearly $31B last year.

ASML to install its High-NA EUV lithography tools in Imec's pilot production line to give research and development personnel access to leading-edge equipment.

Intel says ASML's High-NA EUV tools have produced 30,000 wafers in a single quarter.

But no decisions have been made so far.

Rapidus's IIM-1 and IIM-2 will feature 10 EUV lithography systems.

The Netherlands expands its export controls on measuring and inspection equipment to ensure that ASML applies for licenses locally, not in the U.S.

Without EUV, Chinese semiconductor industry is over a decade behind Taiwan, U.S.

ASML offered Lego versions of its NA-EUV machines on the ASML store but has since limited it to orders from valid ASML email addresses only.
