Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are testing etching equipment from Chinese supplier AMEC at their China factories to hedge against potential tightening of US export controls and the risk of restrictions on servicing Western chipmaking tools.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face rising risk from US export restrictions disrupting your supply of Western chip tools in China. Testing Chinese alternatives gives you a backup plan to keep manufacturing running and could open a new vendor relationship.
