> Faced with pressure from the United States, the Netherlands is preparing to restrict some chip manufacturing equipment exporting to China to prevent China from obtaining key semiconductor technology.NotBloomberg reports, Dutch foreign trade Schlerin Mach ( < liesje schoolmacher ) Wednesday (March 8) sent a letter to members that the Dutch government intends to restrict the exit of the immersion DUV lithography machine.Previous announcement.NotIt is reported that this means that the export control of the most cutting -edge light carvings will be further tightened, and such products are the key to producing the world's most advanced chips.NotLeine Mach "The Netherlands believes that based on national and international security, it is necessary to control this technology as soon as possible."NotCalculation of market value, light carving giants from the Netherlands Span> ASML (ASML) It is the largest manufacturer of some global optical engraving systems in the world's largest technology company.

Span> ASML is banned from selling extremely ultraviolet light carvings to Chinese companies (EUV) is also its most advanced technology.The latest proposal will further prohibit ASML from selling products with lower -grade more than extremely ultraviolet light.NotIn a statement on the same day, these measures will "have a significant impact on the financial outlook of 2023 or longer."However, the company said that the advanced DUV system needs to apply for export permits.NotSaid, "importantly, it is necessary to consider that additional export controls are not suitable for all immersive lithography tools, but only for the" most advanced 'tools.
