Chinese chip plants stockpiled hundreds of lithography machines, ex-US officials warn

Original: Chinese semiconductor plants have amassed hundreds of immersion lithography machines worth billions of dollars in recent

Former US officials say Chinese semiconductor plants have accumulated hundreds of immersion lithography machines worth billions of dollars in recent years. They are urging Washington and its allies to halt further exports of the equipment, which is critical to advanced chipmaking. The report, carried by the South China Morning Post, adds to pressure for tighter controls on sales of lithography tools to China amid ongoing technology tensions.

Why now: The findings feed into ongoing US-China tech war debates about restricting semiconductor equipment exports to China.
