From the Entity List in 2020 to the Chips and Science Act of 2022, the US government has been tightening its grip on China's semiconductor industry by blocking the export of advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment. The pressing question on everyone's mind is: Will China's semiconductor indust...

On October 7, 2022, the U.S. government imposed export regulations restricting China’s access to semiconductor technology. In particular, the sanctions pertained to manufacturing equipment required in the production of 16nm/14nm or more advanced logic chips (FinFet, GAAFET), 18nm or more advanced ...

According to TrendForce’s latest investigation, Chinese foundries have already suspended plans to expand production capacity for advanced processes after the US government began restricting the exportation of equipment and technical support for processes related to non-planar architectures. TrendF...

The market started worrying about the oversupply in semiconductor 2023, when the demand will start growing again depends on two factors: the situation of the macroeconomy and the inventory status. Since foundries’ capacity utilization rates started drop in 3Q22, chip supply as a whole has decre...

The U.S. Department of Commerce announced new semiconductor restrictions on October 7 in the United States. In addition to existing restrictions on the logic IC sector, this new update extends to the memory category. In addition to Chinese-funded enterprises, the extent of these restrictions stipula...
