ASML Holding N.V. partnered with the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) to industrialize European photonic chips. The collaboration integrates ASML’s DUV and i-line lithography scanners into TNO’s new Photonic Chip Pilot Line in Eindhoven. This initiative aims to enable high-volume manufacturing of photonic components to strengthen the European semiconductor ecosystem.
Separately, ASML denied allegations of shipping advanced extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography systems to China in violation of export controls. This statement addresses concerns reportedly raised by U.S. officials regarding tightening technology export restrictions. The denial underscores the ongoing geopolitical scrutiny facing ASML’s role in the global semiconductor supply chain.
