ASML, Europe's largest semiconductor equipment maker, refuted US claims that its advanced EUV chipmaking systems may have reached China. The Dutch company stated it has never shipped EUV machines or components to China and adheres strictly to export controls.
US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has reportedly raised concerns with ASML executives about the potential presence of the Dutch chipmaker's advanced EUV lithography machines in China, a move that would violate US export controls. ASML denies any such machines are in China, while the US Commerce Department claims to have evidence but has not shared it. The situation highlights ASML's critical role in AI chip production and the geopolitical implications of advanced technology.
