ASML May Join US on Chips Exports Controls.
February 17, 2023
Key Takeaways:
- Netherlands and Japan are set to join the US in restricting China's access to advanced semiconductor equipment, following US restrictions imposed in October 2022.
- ASML currently ships non-EUV lithography systems, metrology, and inspection tools to China, which accounts for 15% of its total sales in Y2022/Y2023.
- However, the Netherlands may expand restrictions on ASML to prevent it from shipping DUV, and the US may require ASML to comply with technology restrictions, which could affect ASML's sales to China.
- This ban would have a significant impact on Chinese foundries covering broader applications including DDIC, MCU, CIS or memory, and it may not be cost-effective for them to adopt ArF (dry DUV) instead.
