IT Home August 26 News Following the statement issued by SIA (American Semiconductor Industry Association), SEMI (International Semiconductor Association) issued a statement today stating that the Huawei-related ban issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce on August 17 not only erodes the customer base of US products, but also prompts other companies to work hard to replace US technology and ultimately damage national security. It requested the U.S. Department of Commerce to extend the grace period for the ban to 120, and the grace period in the U.S. Department of Commerce ban is 90 days.
, California, USA On August 24, local time, SEMI, an industry association serving the global electronic design and manufacturing supply chain, issued the following statement today in response to the new export control rules announced by the U.S. Department of Commerce.
"SEMI recognizes the role of export control measures in responding to U.S. national security threats. However, we are very worried that the new export control regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce on August 17, 2020 will ultimately harm the U.S. national security interests, damage the U.S. semiconductor industry, and bring huge uncertainty and confusion to the semiconductor supply chain. On July 14, SEMI cautioned in a public comment on the May 15 regulations that these relatively narrow actions have a unique inhibitory effect on the purchase of U.S. semiconductor equipment and design software, and have caused companies not associated with Huawei to lose $17 million in U.S.-original projects sales.
The Commerce Department's decision to significantly expand these unilateral restrictions will likely lead to more sales losses and erode the customer base of U.S.-original goods. The new restrictions will also fuel people's belief that U.S. technology supply is not available. Reliable view and lead to non-U.S. customers requiring design of products that do not contain U.S. technology. At the same time, these actions further stimulate efforts to replace these U.S. technologies.
SEMI hopes to require the U.S. Department of Commerce to immediately extend the savings clauses for projects produced by August 17 to 120 days, ensuring that all projects’ licensing decisions are predictable and timely, and providing significant flexibility for licensing that are not related to 5G projects. The government is also urged to implement policies to reduce unexpected consequences and damage U.S. technology leadership. Global sales revenue is the main source of U.S. funding for these technologies; loss of global revenue will lead to reduced R&D, undermining U.S. semiconductor innovation, and thus undermining national security. ” SEMI has been informed that SEMI has linked more than 2,400 member companies around the world and 1.3 million professionals to promote the technology and business of electronic design and manufacturing. SEMI members are responsible for innovations in materials, design, equipment, software, equipment and services, making electronics smarter, faster, more powerful and more affordable. The Electronic Systems Design Alliance (ESD Alliance), FlexTech, Fab Owners Alliance (FOA), and Microelectromechanical Systems and Sensors Industry Group (MSIG) are SEMI strategic technology communities, and are internal SEMI focused on specific technologies.
