Fusion42 · 5 August 2026 · Fusion42 review

Samsung Electronics and SK hynix are considering Advanced Micro-Fabrication Equipment (AMEC), a Chinese semiconductor toolmaker, as a backup for their China fabs due to uncertain U.S. export controls, while simultaneously reducing reliance on Chinese equipment for advanced nodes in other regions.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors, and 2 sources have reported it.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Your semiconductor supply chain strategy must account for dual sourcing: use Chinese equipment to hedge against US export restrictions in China fabs, while cutting Chinese tool dependency elsewhere to protect advanced process lines.
