Nvidia CEO: China to develop advanced lithography tools by 2030

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang believes China will achieve self-sufficiency in advanced lithography chipmaking tools by 2030. He stated that China excels at high-volume production and that developing these capabilities is a matter of time. However, current evidence suggests China's leading lithography producer, Shanghai Micro Electronics Equipment (SMEE), is significantly behind ASML's current technology, with even their most advanced systems likely years away from widespread high-volume manufacturing and considerably behind contemporary ASML offerings.

IMPACT This prediction highlights the geopolitical race for semiconductor self-sufficiency, crucial for AI development and deployment.
