A new bipartisan U.S. bill called the MATCH Act is threatening a near-total export ban on deep ultraviolet (DUV) lithography equipment for five core Chinese semiconductor firms: Huawei, SMIC, YMTC, CXMT, and Hua Hong. According to a cnbeta report, this legislation would close existing loopholes by targeting the companies rather than specific blacklisted fabs, severing their ability to procure or maintain critical wafer fab equipment for mature and advanced nodes alike,. If passed, the sweeping restrictions could critically stall China’s semiconductor self-sufficiency efforts and further restrict ASML’s sales in the region,,.
