Because that first shows that the United States has a guilty conscience and is not a big country, and it also shows the world that the United States is really "dying"; Secondly, even if the United States is worried that the Netherlands can't hold back, there is no need to worry that ASML will sell the top EUV mask aligner to China, because even if other countries promise to authorize the sale, the United States has a large proportion of patented technology in the top mask aligner, and the United States continues to obstruct it and still cannot trade; Third, lithography technology brings together the most advanced and top-notch scientific and technological forces in the world. Mask aligner's patented technology is as powerful as that of the United States, but it can't achieve complete technical coverage, and the proportion of technology is not absolute. 7nm extreme ultraviolet lithography machine is divided into 13 systems with 30,000 parts. 90% of the key equipment comes from many countries, including German optical equipment and ultra-precision machinery, American metering equipment and light source equipment.
Therefore, if the United States forcibly moves ASML, the top mask aligner manufacturer, to the United States, it is very likely to follow the old road of Japanese Nikon's decline, causing harm to ASML and forming a lose-lose situation.
In addition, ASML has a unique cooperation model, which perfectly creates the same body of risks and benefits, that is, only by investing in ASML can we obtain the priority supply right and high-end equipment from ASML. This peculiar cooperation mode enables ASML not only to obtain sufficient R&D funds, but also to enjoy the risks and rewards of R&D by building a strong semiconductor supply chain cooperation mode.
Therefore, semiconductor giants such as Intel, Samsung and TSMC hold considerable shares in ASML, among which Intel's contribution is even more amazing, reaching 25130,000 euros.
Finally, because the United States has firmly grasped the source and demand side of ASML's supply system, for example, the United States is an important supplier of light source technology and measuring equipment, and many semiconductor manufacturers in the United States have the dual status of shareholders and customers of ASML. It can be said that ASML is actually half an American company objectively, and the control right of American capital is completely "held", so there is no need to forcibly move to the United States.
Biden certainly has this idea, but it is difficult to realize it, because ASML has collected products and technologies from many countries, and the United States is not dominant.
