-- The US is considering unilateral restrictions on China ’s access to AI memory chips and equipment capable of making those semiconductors as soon as next month, a move that would further escalate the tech rivalry between the world’s biggest economies.The measure is designed to keep Micron Technology Inc . and South Korea’s leading memory chipmakers SK Hynix Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co.
It’s unclear what authority the US would use to restrict the South Korean firms, the people said. One possibility is the foreign direct product rule, or FDPR, which lets Washington impose controls on foreign-made products that use even the tiniest amount of American technology. Both SK Hynix and Samsung rely on US chip design software and equipment from the likes of Cadence Design Systems Inc. and Applied Materials Inc.
President Joe Biden’s administration has already asked Seoul to rein in exports of chip technology to China, with a focus on manufacturing equipment, and adopt controls similar to those the US has already implemented, Bloomberg News has reported. As part of its comprehensive HBM-related curbs in the same export control package, the US plans to lower the threshold for what qualifies as advanced dynamic random access memory, or DRAM. A single HBM chip contains several DRAM dies.New restrictions on HBM equipment and DRAM aim to deter leading Chinese memory chipmaker ChangXin Memory Technologies Inc. from advancing its technology, according to some of the people.
