It's so funny for me to watch these "news" doing stupid takes 6 months ago saying YMTC is not going to last 3 weeks and now saying that YMTC is going to benefit from Micron's demise in China

What do you expect to happen?
These mainland suppliers have cut memory product prices to help expand their market share. On the

e-commerce platform, Shenzhen Fanxiang Information Technology Co, which uses YMTC’s memory chips, sells a 2-terabyte SSD for 509 yuan (US$73.50), or about half the price of a Samsung SSD with the same capacity that costs 1,049 yuan.

A long list of Chinese SSD brands on JD.com – including ZhiTai, Move Speed, Gloway and Maxsun – already claim to use YMTC memory chips as part of their marketing pitch.
yeah, YMTC can sell it so much cheaper than Samsung. In fact, it has gone below even 500 RMB! And as I documented, a long list of Chinese SSD brands using their product. The key issue here is that YMTC needs to ramp up production

Funnily enough, this was predicted almost 2 years ago by Dylan patel of all people

No idea if they still have 64-layer production and how high their 128-layer yield is, but I hope those get addressed in this next year, so that when they are ready to ramp up fab 2, they can quickly increase market share

btw, Intel continues to be a super disaster
but US senators want to stop selling chips to Chinese cloud providers? have fun Intel

Germany plays down report on banning chip chemicals to China​

April 27 (Reuters) - Germany currently has no plans to ban the export to China of chemicals used to manufacture semiconductors, officials said on Friday, a day after a Bloomberg report suggested such a move could be in the works and Beijing called it destabilising.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz's office "is not currently pursuing any plans for an export ban on chip chemicals to China", a spokesperson said. The person added that talks with foreign partners were confidential, without elaborating.
A Germany-based chemical industry source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said such move would not make sense as the majority of the semiconductor chemicals value chains of Merck and BASF did not involve Germany or Europe geographically.
In many cases, it would amount to an attempt to stop German companies from moving materials between sites in China. German reliance on Chinese imports into Germany would also be exposed in a retaliatory cycle, the source said.

not sure if this is what you looked at, but CAS came to visit CIOMP a week ago and EUV light source was one key thing that was looked at. Project 02 includes EUV itself, so looks like they did accomplish something recently. I get the feeling that the prototype might get assembled over the next year.

媒体报道:2023年4月13日下午,中国科学院院士、中国科学院前院长白春礼到长春光机所调研,对其研制成功极紫外光刻机重要部件-- EUV 光源工程化样机表示高度肯定。

工程样机成功,虽然没有透露是不是已经解决稳定性、可靠性、工作时长等。不过这绝对是石破天惊的进展了,因为镜片也有报道成功搞定0.5nm精度的产品

Looks like this EUV light source prototype is successful have have 0.5nm accuracy. not sure how good that is.

On the entire German Bloomberg story debacle

Jiangsu Yoke Technology is up 8% today

What German companies provide
4月27日据彭博德国政府正在就限制向中国出口用于制造先进半导体的化学品进行谈判。据知情人士透露,该提案是德国总理奥拉夫·朔尔茨政府正在讨论的一系列措施的一部分,这些措施将切断中国获得先进半导体生产所需的商品和服务的途径。

知情人士表示,如果该提案获得实施,将限制默克(Merck)和巴斯夫(BASF)等德国公司向中国出售部分半导体制造所需的化学品。

德国半导体材料梳理:

①晶硅材料方面,德国有Wacker Polysicon;在半导体硅片方面,德国拥有全球第四大半导体硅片生产商Siltronic,占据着全球约14%的市场份额;
14% market share in silicon wafers, I don't think this is a major are of concern
②光刻胶领域,德国默克旗下的AZ Electronic Materials(安智电子材料,2013年被德国默克公司收购)是该领域的供应商。
photoresist? don't think I'm too concerned about this area either
③CMP抛光液领域,德国默克旗下的慧瞻材料(Versum)也是的该领域的重要供应商,全球市场份额约4%。
CMP polishing liquid with 4% market share
④电子特气领域,德国林德是全球最大的电子特气供应商,2020年的市场份额为20.2%,另外排名第三的美国空气化工(6.6%)旗下的Versum Materials于2019年10月被德国默克(Merck)并购。
specialty gases Linde with 20% market share
⑤湿电子化学品领域,高端市场主要由欧美和日本企业占主导。其中,德国巴斯夫公司、德国默克公司都是该领域头部公司。
immersive electronic?
⑥封装材料方面,德国巴斯夫、德国Henkel也都是该领域的重要供应商。
packaging material provided by BASF and Henkel
日本、德国、美国为半导体材料乃至所有材料强国,其产品几乎垄断半导体前后道生产各环节。日本光刻胶断供传闻、德国半导体材料及美国半导体制裁对我国半导体生产产生较大的卡脖子压力,同时也为半导体材料国产替代赋予了更积极的动力。我们认为,彭博社匿名人士消息尚有不确定性,德国政府如最终出台相关政策,或将和美国政府限制措施保持一定的一致性。建议关注国产半导体材料重点布局的公司:

电子特气:华特气体、金宏气体等;

前驱体:雅克科技等;

CMP抛光垫、抛光液:鼎龙股份、安集科技等;

光刻胶:华懋科技、彤程新材等;

湿电子化学品:晶瑞电材、江化微等;

硅片:沪硅产业、立昂微等;
domestic company to menntion
Huate Gas, Jinhong gas
Jiangsu Yoke (produces a lot of specialty gases) -a nnual output of 3500T high-purity sulfur hexafluoride and 3500T high-purity carbon tetrafluoride
Dinglong, Anji Micro
Photoresist: this you know already
immersive electronics: jinrui & Jiangyin Jianghua
