ASML has announced a new facility in Beijing aimed at improving the reusability of chip manufacturing equipment for Chinese clients. This development comes amid tighter export restrictions from the Netherlands and the U.S. Notably, Huawei is anticipated to challenge ASML's monopoly in extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, possibly offering their own machines by next year. The new facility focuses on refurbishing deep ultraviolet (DUV) machines, reinforcing ASML’s commitment to the lucrative Chinese market without incurring the high costs associated with machine replacements.
Huawei is set to join ASML in EUV technology, signaling a critical shift in the chip manufacturing landscape as it seeks to break ASML's monopoly.
ASML's new Beijing facility aims to increase chip machine reusability for Chinese customers, maintaining its foothold despite tightening export restrictions from the U.S. and Netherlands.
With plans for refurbishment and maintenance of older DUV machines, ASML hopes to enhance its service in the lucrative Chinese market while avoiding costly replacements.
The High-NA EUV lithography machines developed by ASML are designed to be modular and upgradeable, allowing existing machines to be adapted for mass production.
