Roger Dasson said in an interview that ASML has been concerned about the current export ban in the semiconductor field in the United States. After all, the impact of the export ban on the global semiconductor industry is still relatively large. However, after in-depth research within the company, it is found that the United States has not restricted the equipment of DUV mask aligner in the Netherlands, which means that ASML in the Netherlands can provide DUV mask aligner equipment to China enterprises such as Huawei. In the interview, Roger Dassen has always stressed that ASML, as an international company, should put the interests of its customers first.

In addition to CFO Roger Dassen revealing the good news to the media, Peter Wernicke, CEO of Dutch ASML Company, actually confirmed that the news is true, but Peter Wernicke also said that if the Netherlands is transported to China customers through the United States, it will still be controlled by the US semiconductor export ban, which actually tells us that DUV mask aligner equipment can be sold to China by bypassing the United States.

In fact, DUV mask aligner equipment exported from the Netherlands is not the latest EUV mask aligner equipment in the Netherlands, and it is still restricted by the US semiconductor export ban. The second one is DUV mask aligner, and China is fully capable of manufacturing it by itself. In fact, the demand for this piece is not great. However, something is better than nothing. After all, the mask aligner parameters of DUV independently developed in China are not as good as those of DUV mask aligner equipment in ASML, which has been deeply cultivated in this industry for many years.

The U.S. technology blockade and restrictions on the export of core components to China enterprises such as Huawei have not only caused great harm to China enterprises such as Huawei, but also had a great impact on the United States itself. According to the statistics of Forbes website, because of the long-term blockade and suppression of global semiconductors, the United States will lose more than 5 billion dollars every year, and it will also bring serious trade barriers to American technology giants such as Intel and AMD. This kind of technological bullying in the United States is completely "hurting the enemy by 1000 and losing 800"!

Therefore, many giants around the world, including American technology companies, plead for Huawei and hope to release restrictions on Huawei as soon as possible. The Dutchman Asme is naturally actively looking for solutions for Huawei, but through this incident, we should also realize that the core key technologies still need to be developed by ourselves, and mastering the core technologies can avoid the "technical bullying" in the future scientific and technological war!
