In response to the report that the U.S. government is considering sanctions on the manufacturing (SMIC) in China, the largest employee of semiconductor consignment (foundry), the largest to the core International Collection Lightway (SMIC), the company on September 5 on an urgent statement on September 5.It was announced.The SMIC products and services are all for civilian, and there are no military -purpose management or the relationship with the Chinese army.
In addition, the statement is strictly complied with the laws of countries related to each other related to the SMIC (in the procurement of semiconductor manufacturing equipment and the sale of products), and the company exported for many years when the company purchases American -made facilities.Explained that he has given permission.On top of that, he expressed his intention as follows.
"We are surprised and confused (in the press). We want to communicate with the US government -related organizations in a sincere, open and transparent way, and solve the possibility of prejudice and misunderstandings."
The news report was on September 4, saying that Reuters Telecommunications said, "The US government is determined to be contrary to the US government's entity list (translation: US government).We are considering whether to add it to a de facto expanded target in a list of companies and other companies. "If sanctions become a reality, SMIC could cut off the supply of manufacturing devices, software, and materials that use American -derived technology.
It was not possible to build a production line without American technology
Today's semiconductor industry is based on a global division of labor.Stability procurement from American companies is a matter of life and death for SMIC.In 2019, the company's largest supplier was the world's largest American Applied Materials, the world's largest semiconductor manufacturing device, and the third place was a major American semiconductor manufacturing device.
According to multiple experts in China, without American technology, it will not be able to build a 45nm (nanometer) semiconductor chip production line, a dozen years ago.Foundry, the world's largest Foundry, Taiwanese Democratic College (TSMC), which runs the top with process technology, has already realized 5Nm mass production.SMIC, on the other hand, has finally begun mass production of 14nm, a three -generation delay in the October -December 2019 period.
本記事は「財新」の提供記事ですWith the clarification of sanctions on SMIC, the dark clouds, which are in the Chinese semiconductor industry, have become even more colored.The TSMC will suspend shipping for Huawei after September 14, due to sanctions on the U.S. government for the largest communication equipment in China (Huawei).If SMIC was added to the embarried list, it is inevitable that Huawei will lose not only the TSMC substituted semiconductor manufacturing outsourcing, but also many semiconductor design companies in China.
