Ekuqaleni kuka-April, imininingwane yehlazo lokuhlola elibandakanya ubuhlakani be-ASML yatholakala emphakathini wase-Netherlands. Enye yezincwadi ezinkulu kakhulu ezweni ukuthi iqembu elithile labahlaseli lintshontshe izimfihlo zobuchwepheshe ze-ASML futhi lazinikezela kuziphathimandla zaseShayina. Njengoba i-ASML ithuthukisa futhi ikhiqize amathuluzi okukhiqiza nokuhlola ama-chips, kokubili intshisekelo engaba khona kuyo evela e-China kanye nokukhathazeka okuba umphumela wawo wonke umhlaba ophucuzekile kuyaqondakala.
Uma silahla ukuqagela nokuqagela kwezintatheli zaseDashi, kuvela ukuthi abukho ubuchwepheshe be-ASML obuhilelekile ekwebeni obusebenzela uhulumeni waseShayina. Abasebenzi abaningana be-ASML bashiye ingxenye yenkampani yaseMelika bahamba namathuluzi athile esoftware okusebenza ngamamaski ezithombe. Ngokusekelwe empahleni yengqondo etholwe ngokungemthetho, inkampani ye-XTAL yasungulwa ngokubandakanyeka kwezimali ezivela kwaSamsung. Okokugcina cishe u-30% wamasheya we-XTAL futhi uhlele ukuba iklayenti lalo mthuthukisi wamathuluzi esofthiwe. Lokhu kuvumele umkhiqizi waseNingizimu Korea ukuthi onge imali ekuthengeni isofthiwe yokusebenza okufanayo ku-ASML. Kodwa akuzange kuphumelele. I-ASML imangalele i-XTAL e-US futhi yawina icala.
Ngasekupheleni konyaka odlule, kwaphuma isinqumo sokuthi i-XTAL kufanele ikhokhele i-ASML inhlawulo yezigidi ezingu-845. NgoNovemba 2018, ijaji lanquma ukuthi ummangalelwa ucwile futhi wayengakwazi ukukhokha imali ayeyifuna. Umhlangano wokugcina ngalolu daba wenzeke ngesonto eledlule. Kanjani e-ASML, Inkantolo Ephakeme Yase-Santa Clara County e-California yanquma ukunikeza impahla yengqondo ye-XTAL inkampani yama-Dutch esikhundleni sesinxephezelo semali. Intuthuko ye-XTAL izoba yingxenye yamathuluzi e-ASML Brion - amaphakheji nezisombululo zokusebenza ngemishini ye-lithographic, ukulungiselela ukuphrinta nokulawulwa kwekhwalithi okulandelayo. Lokhu kusho ukuthi impahla ye-ASML okusolwa ukuthi intshontshiwe yayisezandleni ezinhle, futhi umkhiqizo wokugcina wawumuhle njengokanjiniyela wokuqala.
