ASML is completely dumbfounded 中国光刻机技术是“偷”来的!ASML彻底傻眼,外媒:恐有灭顶之灾

 China's lithography machine technology is "stolen"! ASML is completely dumbfounded, foreign media: there may be a catastrophe

Semiconductors are known as "the jewel in the crown of the secondary industry". The significance to a country is definitely not as simple as whether it can make more advanced mobile phones, but is related to the overall high-tech level of a country.

Especially in terms of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and high-precision guidance, it plays a role that other technologies cannot make up for. It can be said that whoever has mastered the core technology of semiconductors and the most advanced chip research and development and manufacturing technology will have the right to speak in the future development of science and technology.

Therefore, the United States has joined Japan, the Netherlands, and TSMC to form a "four-party chip alliance" in an attempt to kill China's high-end chips in the cradle!

In chip technology, the lithography machine that manufactures chips is the core of the core. At present, ASML in the Netherlands holds the most advanced EUV lithography machine manufacturing technology in the world, making money so weak that it is unwilling to sell it to China even if it has money.

Not only that, the Dutch experts also uttered wild words. In front of the Chinese engineers who visited the ASML factory, they sarcastically said: Even if you are given the drawings, you can’t make a lithography machine!

However, the Chinese have never believed in evil! The same is human, since Westerners can create it, the Chinese must do it too! Moreover, we have made many achievements in breaking the blockade of Western technology. At present, China has become a global leader in many fields such as artificial intelligence, quantum communication, and aerospace.

Recently, it was reported that Bai Chunli, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and former president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, revealed a shocking news when he visited the Changchun Institute of Optics and Mechanics. Harbin Institute of Technology has achieved great success in the development of the EUV light source engineering prototype, an important component of the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine.

However, the official media did not publish details in this regard. Judging from the news from various media, the ultra-precision high-speed laser interferometer self-developed by Harbin Institute of Technology has won the top honor of the "Golden Award" of the World Photon Conference.

Moreover, the source of this news has been found on the website of the Harbin Institute of Technology Alumni Association, so it should be reliable. According to the website, Professor Hu Pengcheng's team under the guidance of Academician Tan Jiubin has made breakthroughs in a series of core measurement methods and key engineering technologies, and solved the core problems of inaccurate, inaccurate and fast measurements in this field.

On this basis, the team developed the HUE-D/S/X series, high-speed ultra-precision laser interferometers and produced them in small batches. Appraised by 3 academicians and other experts, the overall technology of the instrument has reached the international advanced level, and the 3 key technologies are already at the international leading level.

In addition, a professional journal broke out that Harbin Institute of Technology National Key Laboratory of Tunable (Gas) Laser Technology has conducted a series of in-depth research on capillary discharge technology, and obtained extreme ultraviolet light based on capillary discharge. A major breakthrough! At present, a DPP-EUV light source research platform has been developed.

The EUV lithography technology is a new generation of lithography technology, which has broad and important application prospects. At present, it is reported that the laboratory of Changchun Optical Machinery has built a set of EUV light source equipment based on the DPP-EUV light source platform of Harbin Institute of Technology.

This already shows that China has made significant progress in the field of lithography machines. This allows China's self-developed lithography machine technology to directly point to the 3nm process, completely breaking the blockade of the United States and the West, and it is just around the corner!

However, at this time the Dutch also learned the tricks of the American rogue. During his visit to China, ASML President Wen Nink made a remark against the heavens! He claimed that China's self-developed lithography machine is destroying the global industrial chain!

This logic is really amazing! Could it be that the United States and Western countries prohibit the sale of lithography machines to China, and even do not sell high-end chips to China, so they are not destroying the global industrial chain! But China is self-reliant and develops its own lithography machine, which destroys the industrial chain instead?

This reminds me of Yellen's statement a few days ago. As a professional, she even claimed that China cannot develop the same industries as the United States to avoid posing a threat to the United States!

It seems that whether it is politicians or experts in the United States and the West, they all have the same hegemonic face! They all reveal arrogance from the bottom of their bones! This also makes their IQs drop to zero in an instant, almost equal to idiots!

However, in the face of the achievements made by the Chinese, the West is not only unconvinced, but beats back. In February 2023, in its 2022 annual report, ASML publicly accused "a former employee from China of stealing ASML's core secrets."

Although it is said that ASML did not explicitly say that this will benefit China, the subtext behind it is what it means. However, this is a complete lie!

Because the United States does not even allow Chinese students to study in related high-tech majors, and at the same time arrests Chinese scientists in the United States. Therefore, how can there be employees from China in the core positions of ASML! This is clearly trying to cover up!

In fact, no matter which aspect you look at, the US and Western countries' sanctions on China's chip industry are not worth the candle.

On the one hand, restricting the export of lithography machines and chips to China will only force China to concentrate all its funds and talents to develop its own chip technology. Once China achieves a breakthrough, they will completely lose their current market monopoly position. So restrict China, it will not do the West any good!

On the other hand, China is the largest market for chip applications. If the advanced chips produced in the West are not sold to China, they will only rot in the warehouse.

According to the latest report from market research firm Counterpoint Research, in the first quarter of 2023, the global smartphone market shipments will be 280.2 million units, a year-on-year decrease of 14% and a quarter-on-quarter decrease of 7%. And mobile phones are the largest application field of 3nm chips, so this will cause heavy losses to Western chip manufacturers! Foreign media even reported that if things go on like this, this will bring disaster to the chip industry in the United States and the West!

At this time, the CEO of ASML was also sober. He said: we must not lose the Chinese market, even if there is a US ban, we must sell lithography machines to China desperately!

However, as the saying goes, you used to love me and ignored me, but now you can't afford me! At present, China has not only made significant progress in self-developed lithography machine technology, but also has sprung up in the field of photonic chips!

Some time ago, it was reported that the Chinese Academy of Sciences has conquered 3nm photonic chip technology, and it is expected that the first production line will be built in Beijing in 2023. By then, China will become the first country in the world to mass-produce photonic chips. This is tantamount to giving Biden a blow in the head!

However, the news in this regard is also confusing, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. This is also easy to understand, after all, the content related to chip technology is highly sensitive, so it is impossible for anyone to show the latest technology to others.

However, from the recent lowering of the United States to beg China to hug, it can be seen that Biden has given up. This can also be verified from one side, the chip war initiated by Biden has already failed!

中国光刻机技术是“偷”来的!ASML彻底傻眼,外媒:恐有灭顶之灾


半导体被誉为“第二产业皇冠上的明珠”,对一个国家的意义,绝对不是能不能造出更先进的手机那样简单,而是关系到一个国家整体高科技水平。

尤其是在人工智能、云计算以及高精度制导等方面,它所起到的作用,是其他技术无法弥补的。可以这样讲,谁掌握了半导体核心技术,掌握了最先进的芯片研发和制造技术,谁就掌握了未来科技发展的话语权。

因此,美国这才拉上了日本、荷兰和台积电,组成了“芯片4方联盟”,企图将中国高端芯片扼杀在摇篮之中!

而在芯片技术中,制造芯片的光刻机,又是核心中的核心。目前,荷兰ASML手握全球最先进的EUV光刻机制造技术,赚钱赚得手发软,甚至有钱都不愿意卖给中国。

不仅如此,荷兰专家还口出狂言,当着参观ASML工厂的中国工程师面,讽刺说:就算给你图纸,你也造不出光刻机!

不过,中国人向来不信邪!同样是人,既然西方人能造出来,中国人也一定行!而且,我们在打破西方技术封锁上,已经取得了多项成就。目前,中国已经在人工智能、量子通信、航空航天等多个领域,成为了全球的领跑者。

最近有消息说,中国科学院院士、中国科学院前院长白春礼,在到长春光机所调研时,曝出一条惊天消息。哈工大在研制极紫外光刻机重要部件一一EUV光源工程化样机上,取得重大成功。


然而,官方媒体中,却没有刊登这方面的详细内容。从各路自媒体上的消息看,哈工大自研的超精密高速激光干涉仪,已经拿到了世界光子大会“金燧奖”金奖这样的顶级荣誉。


而且,这条消息已经在哈工大校友总会网站上查到了出处,应当可靠。网站上表示,谭久彬院士指导的胡鹏程教授团队,突破系列核心测量方法和工程化关键技术,解决了该领域存在的测不准、测不精、测不快的核心难题。

在此基础上,团队研制了HUE-D/S/X系列,高速超精密激光干涉仪并进行小批量生产。经3位院士等专家鉴定,仪器整体技术达到国际先进水平,其中3项关键技术,都已经处于国际领先水平。


另外,某专业刊物上爆出,哈尔滨工业大学可调谐(气体)激光技术国家级重点实验室,已经对毛细管放电技术进行了一系列深入研究,并在毛细管放电产生极紫外光的基础上,取得了重大突破!目前,已经研制出了DPP-EUV光源研究平台。

而EUV光刻技术是新一代光刻技术,有着广泛且重要的应用前景。目前,有消息说,长春光机所在实验室基于哈工大DPP-EUV光源平台,已经搭建出了一套EUV光源设备。 

这就已经说明,中国已经在光刻机领域获得了重大进步。这就让中国自研光刻机技术,能够直指3nm工艺,彻底打破美西方的封锁,已经指日可待!

然而,此时荷兰人也学会了美国那一套耍臭无赖的手法。ASML总裁温宁克在访华时,竟然发表了逆天言论!他声称,中国自研光刻机是在破坏全球产业链!

这种逻辑实在让人稀奇!难道说,美西方国家禁止向中国出售光刻机,甚至连高端芯片都不卖给中国,就不是在破坏全球产业链!而中国自力更生,自己研发光刻机,反而破坏了产业链?

这让笔者想起了耶伦前几天的表态,作为一名专业人士,她竟然声称中国不能和美国发展相同的产业,以避免对美国构成威胁!


看来,美西方的政客也好,专家也罢,都是同样一幅霸权嘴脸!他们从骨子里都透露出一股傲慢!这也让他们的智商瞬间归零,几乎等于白痴!

然而,面对中国人取得的成绩,西方不仅不服气,反而倒打一耙。2023年2月,ASML在发布的2022年年报中,竟然公开指责“一名来自中国的前雇员,盗走了ASML的核心机密”。

虽然说,ASML没有明说,这会让中国从中获益,但是背后的潜台词就是这个意思。然而,这就是一条彻头彻尾的谎言!

因为,美国现在连中国的留学生,都不允许在相关高科技专业进行学习,同时还大肆抓捕在美国的华裔科学家。因此,在ASML的核心岗位,又怎么可能有来自中国的雇员!这分明是欲盖弥彰!


其实,无论从哪个方面看,美西方国家制裁中国的芯片产业,都得不偿失。

一方面,限制对中国的光刻机和芯片出口,只会倒逼中国,集中中国全部资金和人才,自研芯片技术。而一旦中国获得突破,他们就会彻底失去现在的市场垄断地位。因此,限制中国,这对西方没有任何好处!

另一方面,中国是芯片应用的最大市场,如果西方生产的先进芯片不卖给中国,就只能烂在库房里。

据市场调查机构Counterpoint Research最新的报告,2023年第一季度,全球智能手机市场出货量为2.802亿部,同比下降14%,环比下降7%。而手机是3nm芯片最大的应用领域,因此这会让西方的芯片厂商损失惨重!外媒甚至报道说,长此以往,这会给美西方的芯片产业带来灭顶之灾!

此时,ASML CEO也清醒了,他表示:绝不能失去中国市场,哪怕有美国禁令,也要不顾一切向中国出售光刻机!

不过,正所谓曾经的你对我爱答不理,如今的我你已高攀不起!目前,中国不仅已经在自研光刻机技术方面,取得了重大进步,同时,在光子芯片领域也是异军突起!


前段时间,更是传出消息说,中科院已经攻克3nm光子芯片技术,预计2023年在北京开建第一条生产线。届时,中国将会成为世界上第一个大规模量产光子芯片的国家。这等于给了拜登当头一棒!


不过,这方面的消息也比较混乱,真假难辨。这也好理解,毕竟涉及芯片技术的内容,都高度敏感,因此谁都不可能把最新的技术拿出来示人。

不过,从最近美国放低身段求中国抱抱,就能看出,拜登已经认怂了。这从一个侧面也能验证,拜登发起的芯片战争,已经遭到了失败!
