Re:Huawei builds up 2-year reserve of 'most important' US chips by totalZero on Sunday May 31, 2020 @10:22AM (#23369748)
According to ASML, EUV requires an incredible amount of institutional knowledge to pull off, including for the optics involved. And they're not worried about a machine being taken to an unauthorized location because EUV machines are huge and assembled on-site for customers ("bolted to the ground") by ASML itself.

Given the pace of chipmaking die shrink, I wouldn't be surprised if they can retard the ability of China to get up to speed on 7nm before the next lithographic generation becomes common.
