US makes it harder for SK Hynix, Samsung to make chips in China

The U.S. will require Samsung and SK Hynix to obtain individual export licenses after a 120-day period, aiming to restrict China's access to advanced semiconductor technology.

  • The United States is revoking special authorizations that allowed South Korea's Samsung and SK Hynix to access American semiconductor manufacturing equipment for their Chinese operations.
  • The Commerce Department said it would approve licenses to ensure companies can continue operating existing facilities but will not authorize expansions or technology upgrades.
  • That shift could have significant implications for U.S. equipment suppliers, including KLA Corp., Lam Research and Applied Materials, which are likely to see reduced sales to China.
