China’s DUV Chip Making Machine Is Far Off From Being A Threat To ASML, Says Report

Reuters says a Chinese state-linked group has developed a domestic DUV lithography machine, but it still needs more testing.

The tool is not seen as a real challenge to ASML’s advanced scanners and is far behind in capability.

China is pushing to cut reliance on Western chip equipment under sanctions, with firms like SMEE and Shanghai Aishengna involved.

Despite the progress, China remains a major ASML customer, limiting the near-term market impact.
