ASML has been ordered by the Dutch government to restrict shipment of some of its chip-making equipment to China, the company said on Monday. The curb comes after the United States ramped up its own restrictions on the types of semiconductors that American companies will be able to sell to China and also pressed its allies to enact their own. ASML, a maker of semiconductor production equipment based in the town of Veldhoven in the Netherlands, said in a statement that its “license for the shipment of NXT:2050i and NXT:2100i lithography systems in 2023 has recently been partially revoked by the Dutch government,” and the decision would impact “a small number of customers in China.” ASML is known for its prowess in making lithography machines, which use light to print patterns on silicon. That step is crucial in the mass production of microchips, which power everything from phones to washing machines. Because of its dominance in the market, ASML has been cited by experts as a bellwether of the growing rift between China and the West over access to advanced technology. For several years, the Dutch government has faced pressure from the United States to limit chip-related exports to China.
