ASML’s move has affected a small number of customers in China, the company said. Bloomberg reported Monday evening that ASML had canceled several deliveries to China late last year at the request of the United States.
“In recent discussions with the US government, ASML has further clarified the scope and impact of US export control regulations,” ASML said in a statement on its website. The latest U.S. export rules from mid-October impose restrictions on certain DuV systems “at a limited number of advanced manufacturing facilities,” according to the company.
duv systems are the final generation of ASML generation engines. The abbreviation stands for ‘deep ultraviolet’.
ASML says it is fully prepared to comply with the export rules and does not expect any impact on its financial prospects for 2023.
