Industry insiders believe that Japan will restrict the export of advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment to take effect on July 23, and will disturb China's self -sufficient plan for semiconductors.
The Hong Kong Nanhua Morning Post Sunday (June 4) reported that according to a list of people who saw the people and the reporter, Japanese new measures stipulated that special permits needed to put 23 types of chip -related equipment and equipment and equipment and equipment andMaterial exports to countries outside the friendly market.
It is reported that this is actually a ban for China, just like the export restrictions of the United States last October last year, which will seriously affect China's plan to increase the self -sufficiency of chips.
The restrictions on the export equipment on the list are extensive, and a series of high -tech equipment and materials required for the production of advanced chips.Analysts said that these restrictions have surpassed the restrictions on China earlier.
For example, a specific type of deep -ultraviolet (DUV) photocalism equipment will be prohibited from exporting.This device uses a 193 nanometer light source to print chips on the wafer, which can push chip manufacturing technology to 14 nanometers.
A chip equipment investor who does not want to disclose the name told the South China Morning Post, "This list aims to block all the sources of replacement procurement sources that Chinese companies can find."
Chinese Minister of Commerce Wang Wentao had a talks with Japanese Minister of Trade Nishimura Kangjun on May 26 at the G20 summit on May 26 that Japan's measures seriously violated the International Trade Law and demanded that Japan revokes the export restrictions on chips.
According to data from the United Nations Commodity Trade Database, Japan was the largest exporter of semiconductor manufacturing equipment in China in 2022.
The Japanese government officially announced on May 23 that 23 products including advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment will be included in the export control list.After two months of publicity, the list will officially take effect on July 23.
