FCC issues first bans under new chip-level rule

The US Federal Communications Commission has issued its initial product prohibitions under newly implemented regulations targeting device silicon. The clampdown blocks a dashcam and a wireless transmitter from Huawei subsidiary HiSilicon owing to an onboard processor engineered for facial recognition. The move reflects increasing regulatory scrutiny of imported consumer and enterprise electronics containing targeted artificial intelligence chips.

China can make advanced chips without EUV, but the bill keeps growing

Chinese semiconductor manufacturers have pushed legacy deep ultraviolet lithography tools toward 5nm-class thresholds through the use of multi-patterning techniques. However, analysts caution that escalating manufacturing expenses, reduced production yields, and larger die dimensions are severely undermining commercial sustainability. Consequently, pushing optical lithography beyond these limits without extreme ultraviolet systems appears increasingly cost-prohibitive.
