【Aika News】According to foreign media reports, the United States will ban the import of a raw material called Optiplane, which is a key raw material for making chips. Intel strongly opposes the ban on the import of Optiplane slurry, believing that this ban will exacerbate the crisis of chip shortages.
Intel stated that if the ban does not have a two-year transition period, and the current direct ban on the use of Optiplane paste on US chip production lines, it may cause a fierce conflict between US security and economic interests.
The semiconductor manufacturing process and process are extremely sophisticated and complex, and Optiplane paste is an indispensable material in chip manufacturing. It will be used in different links, and subtle differences will produce huge Influence.
Intel is very dependent on factories in the United States. If the ban is issued, the negative impact on Intel may be greater than other competitors. At the same time, those manufacturers with production plants in Asia will hardly be affected by the ban.
It is understood that the US International Trade Commission was originally scheduled to announce its final decision on December 9, Eastern Time, but it will now be postponed to December 16.
