Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens for the delivery of clues about the past. CTOnews.com, July 11 (Xinhua)-- Dutch lithography giant ASML plans to stop mass hiring this year and focus on training and settling about 10000 employees hired last year, the Dutch Times reported. ASML believes that demand for chips and lithography machines is slowing.

"Last year, we hired 10000 employees who came to meet the explosive demand for lithography machines," said a spokesman for ASML, the official website of ▲ Touyuan ASML. "but training all these new employees has proved to be a difficult task. Too many new employees have put pressure on the company's organization, and it's good to take a break this year."

The spokesman stressed that ASML does not completely freeze job recruitment, but the scale of recruitment will be reduced.

Demand for chips has been slowing in some industries over the past few months, with demand for consumer electronics such as smartphones and laptops falling sharply, which will naturally affect lithography machine makers such as ASML.

"the chip industry has strong long-term growth prospects but faces short-term setbacks," an ASML spokesman said. First-quarter results showed a sharp decline in ASML's turnover, when customers ordered 3.8 billion euros worth of chip manufacturing equipment from ASML (CTOnews.com Note: currently about 30.172 billion yuan), compared with 60-8 billion euros (currently about 476.4-63.52 billion yuan) in previous quarters.
