First impact
ASML Holding →supply upChina
China's domestic DUV machine production increases local access to a critical chipmaking tool and reduces reliance on ASML-dominated imports.
“China has begun manufacturing domestically developed immersion deep ultraviolet (DUV) lithography machines, a key chipmaking tool long dominated by Dutch supplier ASML, The Information reported on Monday.”
