Chip Production Security: Ban on Foreign Equipment Purchases for Subsidized Companies.
This law prohibits companies receiving federal subsidies for semiconductor manufacturing (chips) from purchasing essential production equipment from specific foreign entities of concern. The goal is to strengthen national security and secure the US technology supply chain. This measure ensures that public funds support safe and reliable chip production within the United States.
Key points
Companies receiving federal chip subsidies are banned from buying fully assembled manufacturing equipment from foreign entities deemed a national security risk.
The ban covers critical tools used in chip fabrication, such as lithography, etching, and testing machines.
Waivers are possible if the necessary equipment is unavailable from the US or allied countries in sufficient quality or quantity, or if required for national security reasons.
