Solid hammer, Huawei officially entered the field of lithography machine! Foreign media: ASML is right
After the United States revised the rules, domestic manufacturers of Huawei and other companies have begun to change their development ideas. In Yu's words, Huawei has only entered the field of chip research and design, and has not entered the field of chip manufacturing with heavy assets, which is a mistake.
Therefore, as early as the second half of 2020, Huawei announced that it would fully enter the chip semiconductor field, and should also break through the technical bottlenecks in new materials and terminal manufacturing. It is even news that Huawei wants to build its own chip production line.
All know, in order to build your own chip production line, you must have a lithography machine, because the lithography machine is the necessary equipment to produce chips.
In the field of lithography machine, ASML's technology is the most advanced, especially EUV lithography machine, currently only ASML can be developed and manufactured, but EUV lithography machine is in short supply, because it is the necessary equipment to make chips below 7nm.
Moreover, due to the United States, EUV lithography is temporarily unable to deliver domestic manufacturers, even DUV lithography is limited to specific manufacturers.
In such a case, it is reported that Huawei has begun recruiting for semiconductor equipment engineers to develop lithography technology.
In addition, Huawei Ren Zhengfei also visited domestic universities and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and then the Chinese Academy of Sciences officially said that lithography technology as a priority technical problem to solve.
After Huawei invested in domestic advanced lithography enterprises, foreign media said that ASML said right, if ASML can not ship freely, it will naturally be of no benefit to ASML and other American technology.
Because Huawei has officially entered the field of lithography machine, it will naturally accelerate the development of domestic lithography machine technology. And, every Huawei enters the field, it tends to become the leader.
Just like in 5G communication, smartphones, chips and other fields, Huawei has achieved the lead. Now, Huawei enters the field of lithography, and will naturally lead the future.
In addition, Huawei into the field of lithography, will inevitably accelerate the development of domestic lithography technology. So far, Shanghai Microelectronics's lithography machine has occupied more than 80% of the domestic market.
In the future, with Shanghai Microelectronics using the light source technology to launch a more advanced lithography machine, it is more difficult for ASML to gain a foothold in the domestic market.
After all, domestic equipment is often good and cheap, which will make ASML lithography machine in the domestic market, because ASML lithography machine is really too expensive.
