荷蘭ASML最先進EUV光刻機，唔准賣俾大陸。但回到基本面，買得到，識鬼用咩。
要製造最高端晶片，需要10nm以下的製程，目前台積電、三星都擁有7nm生產線，中國所謂最勁既中芯，技術只去到14nm。一部1.5億美元最勁光刻機，用錢買到，卻沒有技術可生產到。就等於，你有部PS5遊戲機，但你唔識用來打勁game，結果只是玩緊俄羅斯方塊。
中國，曾經靠前台積電高層蔣尚義，於2019年取得一台高端光刻機，但最後亦踢爆是一場騙局。
武漢弘芯2017年成立後，號稱擁有1280億元人民幣投資項目，在大陸半導體產業聲名大噪。弘芯2019年延攬蔣尚義，蔣亦不負所托，成功向ASML購入高階光刻機，聲稱將用來生產7nm的光刻機台，並耗資200億美元建廠，但後來被揭露，這台EUV機被拿來抵押債務，弘芯如今因為瀕臨破產、公司營運陷入停擺，已被當地政府接管。
坦白講，中國唔係買唔到高端EUV機，但配唔上，買到亦得啖笑。

//Beijing has been pressuring the Dutch government to allow its companies to buy ASML Holding NV’s marquee product: a machine called an extreme ultraviolet lithography system that is essential to making advanced microprocessors.
China wants the $150-million machines for domestic chip makers, so smartphone giant Huawei Technologies Co. and other Chinese tech companies can be less reliant on foreign suppliers. But ASML hasn’t sent a single one because the Netherlands—under pressure from the U.S.—is withholding an export license to China.
ASML expects to make 42 of its most advanced machines this year and 55 next year. China accounted for 17% of ASML’s overall sales in 2020. Those sales, though, involve older-generation machines. Analysts say that without ASML’s most-advanced machines, Chinese chip makers can’t make leading-edge chips until domestically made tools catch up.//
