One of the world’s largest manufacturers of lithographic
equipment, ASML, a company from the Netherlands, is able to
remotely turn off machines at the factory of the Taiwanese
semiconductor company TSMC in the event of hostilities on the
island, Azernews reports.
According to the information available to the agency, US
officials informally expressed concern to ASML about the threat of
seizure of technological production facilities in Taiwan. In
response, ASML executives assured Washington that they have the
ability to remotely turn off equipment at TSMC factories. In
particular, they meant lithographic machines for working with
extreme ultraviolet (EUV), which Taiwan acquires from the
Netherlands for the production of microchips.
Before that, China had threatened to deal a crushing blow to
Taiwan.
