My semi-tin-foil speculation: The laser research facility is in US (San Diego); Europe is on the brink of a divorce from the US; there is an expectation of scaling down.
- aurareturn 9mo agoNo. US can't make these machines. Laser facility in US would suffer too.
- fc417fc802 9mo agoDoesn't currently manufacture at commercial scale is not the same as can't make. I don't know what the patent situation is but I assume there are at least a few in the way.
- themafia 9mo ago> US can't make these machines. The US is pretty dynamic. So is every country. To the extent it appears not to be there is usually some entity with it's thumb on the scale.
- aurareturn 9mo agoWho is going to recreate EUV machines faster ASML partnering with China or US recreating ASML machines?
- themafia 9mo agoEminent domain can apply to intellectual property. There is even plenty of US precedent for this in nearly the same circumstances. Then again their need for defensible IP is precisely why ASML would almost certainly never make the partnership you suggest.
- aurareturn 8mo agoGiven that the author of this thread suggests that ASML and US are heading towards a divorce, why would ASML still respect IP laws?
- BoredomIsFun 9mo agoIt does not negate my point though.
