As the largest maker of chipmaking equipment globally, ASML of the Netherlands is in focus
AMSTERDAM - The U.S. government has called on allies to force computer chip manufacturing equipment companies to stop maintaining some of the tools they have sold in China, part of Washington's efforts to undermine China's ability to produce its own advanced computer chips.Here are questions and answers about the scope of the issue and what is at stake for the U.S., Netherlands, ASML, and Chinese chipmakers.
Dutch export licensing policy is not aimed at China, an important trading partner, and the Dutch government does not want to harm ASML, its biggest company. The company does not disclose how much falls into categories that require a licence - in industry terms, the "immersion" segment of DUV lithography tools. That's ASML's upper middle range. Its best tools are not sold in China.ASML has export licences in place to service the majority of its Chinese customers until Dec. 31 this year, the company said in an emailed answer to Reuters' questions last month.This is uncertain.
Without software updates, the system would not operate optimally. But Chinese engineers know how to operate their machines, and could be rehired if they are unable to work for ASML.
