Chinese companies are scrambling to source advanced materials for chips and electronics from US suppliers before the New Year amid fears Washington will impose more export restrictions on the sector. Nikkei Asia writes about it. Orders from suppliers such as DuPont, Entegris and Chemours have increased sharply since November and include a wide range of critical consumables such as chemical mechanical polishing pads, filters, special containers, advanced lubricants and high-quality inspection and test bulbs, the sources said. In addition to the restrictions already announced, China’s technology industry is concerned that the U.S. may impose additional restrictions on the use of advanced materials and designs for chip manufacturing, they added. is a critically important stage in the production of microcircuits. Entegris is a world leader in the supply of filters and FOUP, specialized plastic media used to transport wafers, while Chemours offers critical lubricants used in a variety of machine types in a wide range of industries, including the aerospace industry. We will remind:Advertisement: China has said out loud what was once discussed only behind closed doors: the country must get rid of American chips. The United States will launch its third major package of sanctions against China’s semiconductor industry in three years on Monday, restricting exports for 140 companies, including chip equipment maker Naura Technology Group. The supply of processors is helping Chinese startups develop artificial intelligence technologies despite Washington’s restrictions. The United States has ordered the world’s largest chip maker, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co, to stop supplying Chinese customers with advanced chips often used in artificial intelligence applications. Chinese chipmakers, hit by Washington’s new export control measures, have vowed to speed up supply chain localization and said they will be able to resume production thanks to recent efforts to stockpile equipment.
