DARPA form a consortium SEMATECH with ASML and TSMC to create and funded an EUVL to challenge the Japanese dominance. Now they want to recreate the same situation with CHIP 4, will they succeed, a big NO, the reason, aside from having a huge market, the Chinese are playing catch up and will employ a whole nation approach like what DARPA did to the Japanese.

yep ..Japan's semi industry was easier to destroy because it was export driven and very dependent on the American market. You can bet that if Japan had 800 million people ,its semiconductor industry would be the biggest in the world and you'd never have heard of companies like ASML , LAM Research, or Applied Materials .

Well AMAT and LAM are first movers. ASML might have never made it past Nikon and Canon though. Now Canon is competing with SMEE in back end and packaging lithography and Nikon is down to 1 customer - Intel.

If Japan wants revenge for what happened to it, it's only choice is to cooperate with China otherwise Nikon, Canon and TEL are going down the drain when Chinese competitors rise.

Just to be blunt despite all the talk in this thread we remain yet to see China come up with a domestic DUV capability. If they had one there’s no reason to keep it so quiet … there’s plenty of demand.

How do you know that?

SMIC was able to fab a trun 7nm chip over a year ago. Yet, no one knew apparently.

This is how this is going to work.

People in the West will be the last one to know about Chinese DUV.

People in the West will be the last one to actually acknowledge and confirm anything about a Chinese DUV or EUV.

That is what PLA watching is all about.
