The latest effort on Monday to hobble Beijing's chipmaking ambitions also hits Chinese chip toolmakers Piotech, ACM Research and SiCarrier Technology with new export restrictions as part of the package, which also takes aim at shipments of advanced memory chips and more chipmaking tools to China.
Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said the action aims to prevent China from advancing its domestic semiconductor manufacturing system, which it will use to support its military modernization.
The move is one of President Joe Biden's last large-scale efforts to stymie China's ability to access and produce chips that can help advance artificial intelligence for military applications.
The package includes curbs on China-bound shipments of high bandwidth memory (HBM) chips, critical for high-end applications like AI training; curbs on 24 additional chipmaking tools and three software tools.
