The US wants to bleed China dry. Production only in the West
It seems that the US administration has not said its last word yet. The US is preparing further sanctions against the Chinese semiconductor production market.
The trade war between the United States and China has been going on for a long time. Every now and then, both powers exchange blows. However, it must be admitted that Americans are in a privileged position in this case, cutting off the Chinese from the latest technologies.
The US wants to nip China's GAA opportunities in the bud
Big Brother caused the Middle Kingdom to lose not only access to new EUV machines ASML used for the production of semiconductors, but also the most efficient systems from NVIDIA and AMD. Everything with a purpose stopping progress in the AI marketwhich could be used by the Chinese military.
However, Bloomberg reports that President Joe Biden and his administration are considering imposition of further sanctions. This time they would focus on technology GAA (Gate-All-Around)which is preparing for the next step in the development of semiconductor production.
So far, GAA is mainly used by Koreans Samsung in 3nm (and upcoming 2nm) lithography. However, he also mentioned her Intel Whether TSMC. The reason is simple – its introduction allows, among others, for better heat dissipation, so increased efficiency and energy efficiency.
Meaning that The US wants to nip the development of Chinese solutions in the bud, but Bloomberg does not reveal the details. Both HuaweiWhat SMIC they boast of further successes in the case of production processes 7 nm and 5 nm. But for now, these are these mostly empty words, and the yield leaves much to be desired. However, China is doubling down on buying specialists and stealing technology from industry leaders.
