Why do you think you're right?
  • ASML has virtual monopoly on EUV machines, and have had it for a while. Incentives for creating similar technology are extremely high, and doing so seems extremely difficult.
  • I don't expect EUV production capabilities to increase significantly beyond ASML ecosystem unless some very advanced AI system enables extremely significant levels of technological progress (and even then it is not obvious that whatever progress is made would be using EUV wafers instead of some other currently unknown optimal solution).
  • EUV litography machines are also dependant on multiple pieces of specialized technology, such as optics and mirrors produced by Carl Zeiss. Carl Zeiss is also close to a monopoly and is a virtual single point of failure for semiconductor manufacturing chains. Carl Zeiss is unlikely to end up cooperating with Chinese efforts.

Why might you be wrong?
  • I might underestimate the possibility of AI-accelerated technological progress and whether or not EUV capabilities are a constraint that would be solved as a part of that progress.
  • Production of the tech that EUV machines need might not be as difficult to replicate as I think. Is Carl Zeiss a central actor in the space because they do something no-one else is able to do, or are they a central actor because they do niche stuff and just don't have much competition by coincidence?

Why might you be wrong?

I might underestimate the cost-effectiveness of military intervention against Iran.
