The Dutch government published export control rules on 30 June 2023 for advanced chipmaking equipment, including the most advanced deposition and immersion lithography systems, in force from 1 September 2023. ASML said its TWINSCAN NXT:2000i and later immersion systems need a licence, decided case by case, and that it did not expect a material financial impact.
