Amid escalating tensions between the US and China over semiconductor technology, China is prioritizing domestic innovation in chipmaking tools. In a significant move, the Chinese firm Skyverse Technology has announced the launch of its REDWOOD-900, a homegrown bright-field wafer inspection system. This development marks a breakthrough in a sector traditionally dominated by international companies. The REDWOOD-900 has already started shipping to multiple Chinese semiconductor fabrication plants, showcasing China’s commitment to advancing its tech capabilities independently.
