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

1.29K 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.

It’s not difficult to remake. What is difficult is to secure sufficient parts and suppliers so that you can create enough semicon fab tools to achieve a cost effective productivity that beats existing customers.
