Article Summary
HOLD- ASML Holdings (NYSE: ASML) is facing heightened U.S. concerns that one of its top chipmaking machines may have found its way to China in violation of export restrictions, Bloomberg reports.
- ASML Holdings has pushed back against the concerns, noting that extreme ultraviolet lithography tools used to print tiny chip circuits are made in small quantities and require constant upkeep from employees.
- ASML's most advanced EUV systems are roughly the size of a school bus and weigh 180 tons and have never been shipped to China, according to Bloomberg.
- Chinese scientists reportedly developed a prototype of an EUV machine built by former ASML engineers described as China's version of the Manhattan Project in December.
