URGENT:🇨🇳 The monopoly is over
China wants the United States to be completely excluded from its supply chains.
China has succeeded in producing an ultraviolet lithography machine for advanced chip manufacturing - Reuters
China has built a prototype of an extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) machine in Shenzhen, a tool necessary for the production of the most advanced chips, reports Reuters.
So far, ASML is the only company that has truly mastered EUV technology.
His machines cost about 250 million dollars each and are critically important for the production of the most advanced chips developed by Nvidia and AMD, and manufactured by TSMC, Intel, and Samsung.
This outcome is the reward for a 6-year government program focused on semiconductor independence.
People have compared this to the Chinese version of the Manhattan Project, a World War II-era program in the US that built the atomic bomb.
China's prototype is reportedly generating EUV light and undergoing testing, but so far it has not produced working chips, with 2028 and 2030 mentioned as targets.
Sources describe former ASML engineers assisting in the reverse engineering of system parts, with Huawei coordinating broader efforts among labs and suppliers.#USNonFarmPayrollReport
"The goal is for China to ultimately be able to produce advanced chips on machines that are fully made in China," one of the people said. "$BTC
