Following recent reports that Dutch chip manufacturing equipment maker ASML is under diplomatic pressure from the U.S. to regulate the export of its fabrication equipment  to China, we discuss market data, other suppliers of fab equipment, and a quick view of some of ASML's own suppliers. ASML, the world's only maker of extreme ultraviolet lithography systems, does not export to China EUV equipment instrumental to making the world's most advanced chips used in HPC systems; it is the company's older equipment, DUV (deep ultraviolet lithography)  systems, that the US is trying to block from the China market.
