Japan and the Netherlands sign semiconductor cooperation memorandum: Procurement of ASML lithography machines to enhance technological cooperation

        Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy have signed a memorandum of understanding on semiconductor cooperation in Tokyo, according to the Nihon Keizai Shimbun. The two will jointly promote cooperation between Japanese foundry Rapidus, which wants to mass-produce 2 nm processes, and Dutch lithography giant ASML, and will work together on technology development.
 
 
        Rapidus plans to use subsidies provided by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry to procure EUV lithography equipment, and IT House notes that EUV lithography machines are in short supply worldwide, facing competition from giants such as TSMC, Intel and Samsung. The report noted that if Rapidus and ASML start cooperation, it is expected to strengthen the supply chain.
        Japanese Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Minoru Nishimura, who attended the signing ceremony, cited Rapidus as a precedent and said he "hopes to strengthen government-to-government cooperation in the field of semiconductors". Previously, the Netherlands and Japan followed in the footsteps of the US and tightened semiconductor export controls. Japan added 23 products, including semiconductor manufacturing equipment, to its export control list in July, and the Netherlands will tighten export controls on ASML's 5 nm-class DUV lithography machines NXT:2000i, NXT:2050i and NXT:2100i this week.
