China's EUV tech lags ASML's 2004 level, analyst claims · 2 sources tracked

An analyst from UBS has stated that China's advanced lithography technology is currently comparable to ASML's capabilities in 2004. While Chinese companies are developing their own semiconductor manufacturing tools, including deposition and etching equipment, they have not yet produced competitive lithography machines for modern chip production. Experts believe that even with future advancements in immersion DUV lithography systems, China's semiconductor industry will likely continue to lag behind Western competitors. AI
