🇨🇳 The monopoly is over

China has succeeded in producing an ultraviolet lithography machine for the production of advanced chips - Reuters

China built a prototype extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) machine in Shenzhen, the tool needed for the most advanced chipmaking, Reuters reports.

Until now, ASML is the only company that has truly cracked EUV technology.

Its machines cost about $250 million each and are critical for making the most advanced chips designed by Nvidia and AMD, and manufactured by TSMC, Intel, and Samsung.

The result marks the payoff of a 6-year government program focused on semiconductor independence.

People compared it to China’s version of the Manhattan Project, the U.S. wartime program that built the atomic bomb.

Sources describe former ASML engineers helping reverse engineer parts of the system, and Huawei coordinating a wider effort across labs and suppliers.

China wants the United States 100% kicked out of its supply chains. #semiconductor #InternationalNews
