MATCH Act proposal would restrict DUV immersion lithography exports to China
Overview
Nick Brown of the Center for Technology and Statecraft says China imported roughly 90 immersion DUV lithography systems a year in 2024 and 2025, nearly two-thirds of ASML's immersion DUV exports.
He argues that restricting these exports could keep US AI chip production ahead into the 2030s. The MATCH Act would move these controls to countrywide status, align allied controls and restrict servicing, with a 150-day negotiation window before unilateral controls apply.
