China's DUV Lithography Still Lags ASML by Four Generations

China's DUV lithography still lags ASML by four generations

Media reports published earlier this week about China’s plan to start making its own immersion deep ultraviolet (DUV) lithography machines have caused a sharp sell-off of European chip equipment stocks. But Chinese pundits say the situation remains very far from a point where China’s DUV machines coukd compete with ASML’s. The Information reported Monday that […] The post China’s DUV lithography still lags ASML by four generations appeared first…

Shanghai Aishengna named as the maker of China's first domestic immersion DUV chipmaking tools — first viable domestic 7nm-capable scanner to be completed by 2038

Reuters has named Shanghai Aishengna Electronic Technology Group as the state-owned company producing China's first domestic immersion deep ultraviolet lithography (DUV) scanners, a day after news of the program broke without identifying the manufacturer. Aishengna was established in August 2023 with RMB 7 billion, around $1 billion, in registered capital and is thought to have absorbed engineering teams from Shanghai Yuliangsheng Technology and…

China's DUV shock: the secretive Aishengna rattles ASML with US$1B state backing

China's immersion DUV lithography programme has brought a little-known state-backed company into focus. Shanghai Aishengna Electronic Technology Group, founded in August 2023 with CNY7 billion (approx. US$1.03 billion) in registered capital, is reportedly coordinating limited production of domestically developed lithography systems.

China Begins Mass Production of Homegrown DUV Chipmaking Machines

China has started mass production of domestically developed immersion deep-ultraviolet (DUV) lithography machines, a key technology used in semiconductor manufacturing, according to a source cited by Reuters. The production effort is being led by Shanghai Aishengna Electronic Technology Group, a state-owned company established in 2023. The source told Reuters the company has brought in teams from Chinese lithography firms, including Shanghai Mic…

China Reportedly Begins Mass Production Of Homegrown DUV Lithography Machines

China has begun mass-producing domestically developed immersion deep-ultraviolet (DUV) lithography machines, marking one of its most significant advances yet in semiconductor manufacturing. The move is part of Beijing’s accelerating efforts to reduce reliance on foreign technology amid escalating U.S.-led export restrictions. The production effort is being led by Shanghai Aishengna Electronic Technology Group, a little-known […] The post China R…
