(Washington Composite Electric) The United States will restrict the expansion of federal government funds in the US -built factories in the United States, but will not force these companies to close factories in China.
The US Department of Commerce, responsible for appropriation, revealed that according to chips and science laws that provides funds of $ 52 billion (about S $ 69.6 billion) to semiconductor companies, companies funded by the United States, such as China or Russia, are listed as "focusing on the country" in the United States.The growth limit of the chip production capacity within 10 years is 5%, and the production capacity growth limit of the old -class chip is 10%.
chips and science laws also limited these companies to conduct joint research or technical licensing work with foreign entities such as "focusing on the country".This covers any R & D work of two or more personnel.The definition of technical licenses is an agreement to provide patented, business secrets or proprietary technologies to the other party.
The US Department of Commerce said on Tuesday (March 21) that in order to prevent subsidies to prevent subsidies from using the rules for damage to US security activities, it has been announced and solicited for public opinion for 60 days.These new restrictions cover the current generation and mature node chip for quantum computing, radiation dense environment and other professional military capabilities.However, with the upgrading of technology, the number of chips divided into each wafer can increase, which is not regarded as the growth of production capacity.
Advanced semiconductor.Samsung Electronics and Hynix, the world's largest and second -largest chip manufacturers in the world, have chip factories in China.Samsung is building a chip factory at least $ 25 billion in investment in Texas; SK Group, the parent company of Hynix, announced last year that it plans to invest $ 15 billion in the US chip industry.Both South Korean companies can apply for funding.
List of foreign entities that have attracted much attention will be expanded to include the list of physical lists of the US Department of Commerce, the list of Chinese military companies of the US Treasury, and the list of communication equipment and service lists of the Federal Communications Commission.These include Huawei, the largest technology company in China, the artificial intelligence giant Shang Tang Group, and the leader of the chip industry Yangtze River Storage Technology.
