– Why is ASML’s technology so difficult to remake?

1.30K views

One would expect that reverse engineering technologies wouldn’t be impossible.

The importance of these technologies for China is huge.

Moreover, they have a massive budget and probably also own a couple of ASML’s euv lithography machines.

Why is it that they cant remake these machines?

I heard some sources say that it might take them a decade.

My company makes parts for ASML.

Having models and dimensioned drawings are 1 step of the battle, but we have issues meeting quality and delivery requirements with all the tools available to us.

Reverse engineering something like this would net you a shittier version that’s obsolete by the time you’re done.
