According to reports, the U.S. government, which restricts the export of advanced semiconductor production equipment to China, is considering that it only applies loose standards for Korean companies operating factories in China.

According to industry and government sources on May 10, the US Department of Commerce is negotiating with the South Korean government to apply separate standards for Korean companies in China to improve predictability and maintain their control of semiconductor equipment to China.EssenceThese options include the export of devices that only exceed specific specifications to China, and set the upper limit of the number of semiconductors produced by Korean chip manufacturers in China.

Samsung Electronics operates a NAND flash factory in Xi'an, China, and operates a back -end processing plant in Suzhou, China.SK Hynix operates a DRAM factory in Wuxi and operates a NAND flash production plant in Dalian, China.These companies operate them within one year within one year of the temporary suspension period of export control in the United States.

A more fundamental solution is expected to make Korean semiconductor companies more likely to carry out business in China.We are conducting close consultations with the United States, but I cannot confirm anything, and an official of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy of South Korea said.Basically, what we demand is a way to solve uncertainty, so that South Korean companies' business in China will not be disturbed, and the US authorities also know what we want.

During President Yin's state visit to the United States last month, South Korean Minister of Industry Li Cangyang and US Secretary of Commerce Gina Remondo issued a joint statement to maintain the sustainability and technological upgrade of the semiconductor industry, and minimize the global semiconductor supply chain.Interference.US export control over China.According to reports, Samsung Electronics also contacted the US Department of Commerce alone to discuss related matters.
