Samsung and SK Hynix Evaluate AMEC Chip Tools for China Factories
Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are evaluating chipmaking equipment from China’s AMEC, including etching tools, for potential use at their Chinese factories. The assessments have not yet led to broader deployment decisions, but the testing began around two years ago as uncertainty grew over whether U.S. export controls would continue to allow import of U.S. chip tools into China.
