What it is

Shanghai Micro Electronics Equipment (SMEE) is China's only domestic lithography scanner maker and the focal point of Beijing's drive for a homegrown alternative to ASML after EUV and advanced-DUV export bans. Its shipping tools are limited to mature nodes (reportedly ~90nm and improving toward 28nm-class DUV), leaving China many years behind the leading edge. SMEE is central to China's semiconductor self-sufficiency effort but is not yet a viable substitute for ASML.

Times are New York time. Free sources are pulled on the schedule shown by the pipeline runner (data/corpus/run_pipelines.py), which logs every run; paid sources run only with the owner's yes; filings and newsroom pages are re-read when a new document is filed.

Links come from the AI Systems Map ontology. Deals carry the filing's own wording and a quote, checked against the document; latest source 2026-10-26. Not investment advice.
