ASML收购Mapper的背后故事：中美俄荷四方暗斗The Behind Story of ASML's Acquisition of Mapper: The Quadrilateral Struggle Between China, the US, Russia, and the Netherlands
➀ 一名具有俄罗斯背景的前ASML员工因涉嫌窃取ASML和Mapper Lithography的微芯片手册等文件被荷兰政府拘留，引发各方关注；
➁ Mapper公司专注于电子束光刻，2019年被ASML收购，引发了美国、荷兰、中国和俄罗斯之间的权力斗争；
➂ Mapper的技术具有高分辨率和低成本，曾被视为EUV光刻机的竞争对手，但由于速度慢、效率低，未能得到广泛应用；
➃ Mapper得到了俄罗斯投资基金RUSNANO的投资，帮助在莫斯科建立工厂生产必要的部件，但后来面临财务困难，寻求中国合作伙伴；
➄ 美国国防部对Mapper的技术感兴趣，但未能达成协议，导致Mapper破产，ASML收购了它；
➅ ASML收购了Mapper的技术和专利，但关闭了电子束光刻产品线，而Mapper的俄罗斯工厂被RUSNANO收购并继续运营；
➆ 俄罗斯和中国正在继续开发自己的电子束光刻技术 ，以满足半导体制造的需求。
➀ A former ASML employee with a Russian background was detained by the Dutch government for allegedly stealing chip-making manuals and other files from ASML and Mapper Lithography, sparking concerns from all sides;
➁ Mapper, a firm specializing in electron-beam lithography, was acquired by ASML in 2019, leading to a power struggle among the US, the Netherlands, China, and Russia;
➂ Mapper's technology, with high resolution and low cost, was considered a competitor to EUV lithography machines, but failed to gain widespread adoption due to its slow speed and low efficiency;
➃ Mapper received investment from RUSNANO, a Russian investment fund, which helped establish a factory in Moscow to produce necessary parts, but later faced financial difficulties and sought Chinese partners;
➄ The US Department of Defense was interested in Mapper's technology but failed to secure a deal, leading to Mapper's bankruptcy and ASML's acquisition;
➅ ASML acquired Mapper's technology and patents, but closed its electron-beam lithography product line, while Mapper's Russian factory was acquired by RUSNANO and continues to operate;
➆ Russia and China are continuing to develop their own electron-beam lithography technologies to meet their semiconductor manufacturing needs.
