90% of the market is in 7nm and older nodes. China can produce up to 7nm with the SMEE immersion DUV lithography. With an improved light source, the next immersion DUV lithography will be able to fab up to 5nm. That is good enough to cover pretty much 95% of the market.
That is all without requiring the EUV.
You severely underestimate China’s semiconductor capabilities.
Hate to break it to you, but China is a nobody in the world of semiconductor technology and the Chinese know it. Only a handful of companies matter and they happen to all be US based or US allies. The US controls all the bottlenecks.
