Yangtze Memory Technologies is aggressively reducing reliance on foreign semiconductor manufacturing equipment—a direct response to U.S. export controls that have crippled access to advanced chipmaking tools from Applied Materials, ASML, and Lam Research. The company is raising local sourcing from 50% to 70%, a sign that China's domestic equipment vendors are maturing fast enough to support 300-layer NAND production. Whether they can yet match Western tools' precision and yield remains unclear. The factory's competitiveness depends on that gap closing.
