The issue arose
during US Deputy Commerce Secretary Don Graves’s visit to the Netherlands and Belgium in late May and early June to discuss supply chain issues,

said the people, who asked not to be identified because the discussions were private.

During that trip,
Graves also visited ASML’s headquarters in Veldhoven and met Chief Executive Officer Peter Wennink.

The Dutch government has yet to agree to any additional restrictions on ASML’s exports to Chinese chipmakers,

which could hurt the country’s trade ties with China, the people said.

ASML is already unable to ship its most advanced extreme ultraviolet, or EUV, lithography systems,

which cost about 160 million euros ($164 million) per unit, to China as it cannot obtain an export license from the Dutch government.

American officials are also trying to exert pressure on Japan

to stop shipping the same technology to Chinese chipmakers, one of the people said. Japan’s Nikon competes with ASML in this area.

Immersion lithography
is also known as argon fluoride immersion, or simply ArFi.

According to China-based Founder Securities,

ASML sold 81 ArFi systems in 2021, compared with four from Nikon, giving the Dutch firm a 95% market share.

“We have no information regarding this matter,” a Nikon spokeswoman said.
