A person familiar with the matter revealed that Dutch officials are planning to join the ranks of the United States to implement new export controls on chip manufacturing equipment exported to China.
According to Bloomberg, a person who is not known is not known, the Netherlands is considering the prohibition of equipment to export 14 nanometers or more advanced chips to China.
14 nanometers are industry standards for measuring the semiconductor industry technology. On October 7, the US -issued control measures for China issued by China were also based on 14 nanometers.Therefore, some of the control measures that the Netherlands may introduce this time will be consistent with the United States.
People familiar with the matter said that the Dutch government's discussion on control measures is still underway, and it has not made a decision, but the agreement can be reached as soon as the next month.
People familiar with the matter said that Dutch officials tend to cooperate with the United States to limit Beijing to obtain high -end chip technology, because the Netherlands is also facing national security issues similar to the United States.
The Dutch Prime Minister Lutter told Bloomberg TV last month that the Netherlands is coordinating related export restrictions with the United States and Japan, and the other half of the conductors.
It is reported that this export restriction is likely to impact the sales profit of Dutch semiconductor giant ASML Holding, because Asley may not be able to sell immersive light -inside machines to China.Asley is one of the most important advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment suppliers in the world. In Washington's curbing Beijing operation, Asami was on the cusp.According to the latest annual report released by Asmi, China contributed about 15%of the total revenue realized by the company last year.
But because Asumi uses components made in the United States, Washington still has a certain influence on the Netherlands.Since the beginning of October, Washington has threatened that if allies do not comply with new export control measures, they may prohibit the sale of foreign equipment containing the minimum amount of US technology even in China.
