As the Sino-US scientific and technological war continues to heat up, the Dutch semiconductor is heating up, Dutch semiconductorsAfter the equipment giant Asmi is restricted to export advanced chip production equipment to China, the US and Dutch government will further restrict Asmi to provide maintenance and maintenance for Chinese control chip production equipment.
According to Bloomberg News Saturday (July 15) quoted people familiar with the matter, the Dutch government will introduce a new regulations to prohibit Acemai from producing the control chip produced in China without obtaining government consent.Equipment provides maintenance, maintenance services or supply of backup parts.The Dutch government has stipulated that Acemi has not been able to sell immersive deep ultraviolet light equipment from Chinese companies since September this year. It is expected that new regulations will be carried out simultaneously.
In addition to the above -mentioned control measures issued by the Dutch government, the U.S. government will also ban Acemi from selling the previous generation of deep ultraviolet light carvings to the six Chinese factories with the consent of Washington.Chinese companies are SMIC.
People familiar with the matter said that the United States may also ban Acemi from providing maintenance and maintenance services and spare parts supply for the control equipment installed by the six Chinese target factories without permission.
People familiar with the matter said that it is unclear when the US government will take these additional control measures.But the Biden government is expected to quote Foreign Direct Product Rule to control Acemi.
Although the Dutch government had previously resisted the United States' implementation of external control over the implementation of Asmore, the Bayeon government and the Dutch Rute administration had reached a consensus on the need for additional export control to national security.People familiar with the matter said that the above -mentioned new rules issued by the Dutch government will not be affected by the recent fall of the Dutch government.
Dylan Patel, the founder of the analysis agency Semianalysis, said the new regulations issued by the Netherlands show that the Dutch government does not want China to develop the most advanced semiconductor."If these machines cannot be obtained, Chinese chip companies will be in obvious disadvantages in the global advanced logic and memory chip markets."
He expects that the new regulations will have a significant impact on the future plan of Chinese chip companies."They are likely to be forced to delay or cancel some future cutting -edge technology development."
It is reported that Asmore almost monopolizes the key lithography equipment required for the production of advanced chip and traditional chip production. In addition to hindering the upgrading of Chinese semiconductor technology, the new rules of the Dutch government may decrease over time.The production capacity of Chinese enterprises existing advanced chips.
