Скачать или смотреть China Unveils Xizhi, the Electronic Chip Printing Machine That Beats ASML EUV

China unveils “Xizhi” — its first domestically made commercial electronic printing machine — on Aug 13, 2025 in Yuhang, Hangzhou. Using high-energy electron beam lithography, Xizhi prints circuits directly onto silicon wafers (no optical masks), achieving up to 0.6 nm precision and 8 nm line widths. Ideal for chip R&D and small-batch specialized chips, it rivals top international tools but remains too slow for mass production compared with EUV/DUV systems like ASML. This milestone boosts China’s semiconductor R&D, reduces dependence on foreign equipment controlled by export rules, and accelerates testing of advanced chip processes.
