(Tokyo News) Officials from the US Department of Commerce stated that although Washington has strengthened restrictions on Beijing -export -tip chips, Washington "has no interest to expand its export ban to traditional chips."
The Assistant Minister of Commerce, the Ministry of Commerce and Security Bureau, the Minister of Commerce, Theronozman Kendler, on Thursday (February 24) in the United States Embassy in Tokyo.The chip export ban will not expand to traditional chips.
KFC said: "(Government to) traditional chip investigation is to better understand the semiconductor industry ... to ensure the elasticity of the US supply chain. The official will reduce the control scope of the semiconductor as much as possible to ensure that the relevant ban willJust to deal with the threat of Guoan, not other issues. "
In recent years, China's expansion in the field of traditional chips has gradually lost American companies' competitive advantages.In October last year, the United States expanded its export chip restrictions to 45 countries that are closely related to the United States.The Ministry of Commerce also announced in December of the same year that the situation of the procurement of traditional chips from China has aroused concern that the restrictions that were originally limited to cutting -edge products may expand to traditional chips.
In August last year, the latest flagship Mate 60 Pro of Huawei used the domestic 7 -nanometer chip made of SMIC, showing that China made some progress in establishing a domestic chip ecosystem.
KFC responded to this: "(China) announced that it has 7 -nanometer chips, but this does not mean that (China) really has' 7 -nanometer chips, nor does it mean that it has the ability to produce large -scale production."
Generally speaking, chips below 28 nanometer are called high -end chips, and chips with 28 nanometer and above are called traditional chips.
