The lithographic light source is US ip being created on US shores. If they do that it will be the last EUV machine ASML will make in the EU.
Hell i would bet ASML will move to US than stay in EU, if the US says move to the US and we will allow you to do business with China again.
Also it looks like China has multiple EUV tracks on going from SSMB to that tin based EUV that ASML works with.
- belter 2y agoThe lithographic light source used in ASML EUV lithography systems is based on intellectual property developed by Cymer, a company that....drum roll...ASML acquired in 2013.
- kube-system 2y agoIf we're talking about the above hypothetical trade embargo, it wouldn't really matter. Ownership doesn't override trade restrictions.
- dragonelite 2y agoYou think Cymer will stay ASML property when the US can just do a National security ruling... Queue in the "First time" meme with China and Netherlands.
- impossiblefork 2y agoIt's not like AMSL couldn't build other light sources. There's a lot of particle accelerator research in Europe, for example. But presumably there is a partnership, so that the Netherlands accomodates the US and the US accommodates the Netherlands, so that nobody is unhappy, with this working well enough that no one has felt the need to do switch.
