China builds domestic EUV metrology ecosystem amid US restrictions

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

China is developing its own ecosystem for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) metrology, crucial for advanced semiconductor manufacturing. This initiative involves domestic teams working on EUV light-source and measurement technologies to meet the demands of inspecting chips at 13.5nm wavelengths. Key players like Smic and Shanghai Micro Electronics Equipment (SMEE) are involved, aiming to reduce reliance on foreign suppliers such as ASML Holding from the Netherlands, especially amidst US restrictions.
