Tech commentators discussed the current state of China's Deep Ultraviolet (DUV) lithography supply chain. According to an industry insider who recently visited equipment companies in Shanghai, the number of domestic firms aiming to produce DUV systems is massive, almost creating the illusion that the technology is no longer highly difficult to master.
However, the insider noted that despite the surge in entrants, the timeline for most companies to deliver their first actual products is targeted around 2029. This dynamic highlights the ongoing catch-up efforts and supply chain positioning in critical semiconductor manufacturing equipment.
