Major breakthroughs have been made in China's chip industry. Challenging the dominant lithographic machine, will foreign monopolies be broken?

Current scientific progress is inseparable from technological change. Only by mastering the core technology of a technology, can we be in a winning position in the competition, which is also very important for the semiconductor chip industry. In chip processing, it is the core technology of semiconductor chip industry. For China, most of the semiconductor-related chips used in electronic products come from other countries. For example, our memory bars or flash memory and mobile phone processors, if chips are imported, then the processing of chips is even more difficult.

In today's society, if we do not want to be subject to other countries, then we need to solve this problem. The Internet has brought considerable impetus to our society, which will lead to a new economic mode of global nature. For example, we use smart phones or personal computers, and so on, are chip-based. In the current smartphone industry, Samsung Group's market share reached 19%, and Huawei Group's share reached 14%.

As we all know, in the field of mobile phone chips, Qualcomm and Unicom as well as Huawei Haise series are currently the top ones. But at present, the most influential chip processing companies in the world are TSMC and Samsung Group. The three companies want to complete chip processing, which is constrained by the lithographic monopolist Asml. Asml currently occupies the vast majority of the world's market share. The only competitors are Nikon Group and Canon Group in Japan, but the two companies have basically withdrawn from the market.

According to reports, TSMC has purchased two of the company's equipment, and Samsung Group has also purchased the corresponding equipment. In April, 2018, TSMC has the ability to manufacture chip products by OEM 7 nanometer process. Faced with the market monopoly of the Dutch company, the Chinese Academy of Sciences recently issued a message. After seven years of efforts, the relevant research institutes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed the world's first super-resolution lithography machine with the highest resolution.
