ALLENTOWN, Pa. - PennZone -- kNew Tripoli, PA ….U.S. Sanctions against ASML, which bar the company from servicing its lithography equipment in China, can have several consequences for Chinese semiconductor manufacturers. These consequences underscore the potential benefits for KLA Corporation (KLAC), according to The Information Network's recently published report entitled "Metrology, Inspection, and Process Control in VLSI Manufacturing."

"KLAC is poised to benefit significantly from the recent escalation of sanctions against ASML, the world's largest vendor of advanced chipmaking equipment," noted Dr. Robert Castellano, president of The Information Network. "The recent U.S. and Dutch restrictions have barred ASML from exporting and servicing its high-end lithography tools in China, leading to a substantial gap in the support available to Chinese semiconductor manufacturers."
