Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen West Window old clues delivery! CTOnews.com Christophe Fouquet, executive vice president and commercial director of lithography giant ASML, said that in the global semiconductor supply chain, it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, for any single country to decouple from others and establish a fully self-reliant chip industry.

ASML reports that Fouquet believes ASML does not believe decoupling is possible. This would be extremely difficult and expensive. Sooner or later, he stressed, people have to understand that the only way to win in the semiconductor industry is cooperation. Fouquet told Nikkei Asia that the idea of hiding back in a dark corner and doing it all yourself is extremely challenging.

Fouquet pointed out that the secret of ASML's success is to maintain long-term cooperation with key global suppliers, such as Carl Zeiss and Cymer Laser. In addition, ASML has received support from its largest customers, TSMC and Intel.

CTOnews.com notes that when asked about the differences between ASML and Japanese lithography machine suppliers Canon and Nikon, Fouquet said ASML uses the best suppliers in the world, while Canon and Nikon tend to solve problems themselves, which is why ASML is successful.

Fouquet mentioned that ASML only selects the best suppliers for precision parts. Fouquet also said that ASML will keep 80% to 90% of its manufacturing and integration in Veldhoven, where the company is headquartered, until 2026.
