The Dutch Optical Journal Giant ASML said that a former employee in China has stolen data from the company's proprietary technology, so it may violate export control.
According to Bloomberg, Asmi said that the data leakage incident had been reported to government officials and a comprehensive internal investigation was launched; after the incident, the company also took remedial measures.
The export control measures of the United States last October stipulated that it was prohibited to provide China with cutting -edge semiconductor chips made of American technology.Since then, the Netherlands and Japan have been persuaded to join this measure.
Asmore CEO Peter Wennink has warned that the US export control measures may promote China's successful development of advanced chips.
He said that if China cannot buy related equipment, they will develop and develop themselves.
