Companies will have to apply for licences to export this technology, her letter said. She emphasised that the “surgical” measures would only include very high-specification systems that can make the smallest, most powerful chips, including some of the deep (DUV) immersion lithography tools made by Dutch company ASML.
信中说，企业出口这种技术将须申请许可证。她强调说，这些“外科手术式”措施将只涵盖极高规格的、可用于生产体型最小且性能最强大的芯片的系统，包括荷兰企业阿斯麦(ASML)所生产的一些深紫外线浸润式光刻机(DUV)。
