Chinese factories boost lithography gear acquisitions
The article reveals that Chinese semiconductor factories have acquired 343 UV lithography systems since the beginning of 2026, with approximately 270 of these obtained through the Dutch company ASML. Although these systems are technically less advanced than the state-of-the-art EUV systems, they are still effective for manufacturing 7-nanometer chips and advanced memory modules to support AI processors. Some of these systems fall outside Western export control restrictions and have been used by Huawei in their chip production, prompting U.S. calls to halt the export of such vital equipment to Beijing.
