Two Congressmen have written to US Secretary for Commerce, Gina Raimondo, expressing concern that China is “on track to flood the United States and global markets with foundational semiconductors.”
By ‘foundational’ they mean chips made on older nodes than 28nm.
In the 50nm to 180-nm range, China currently controls around 30% of global capacity and within a decade could control around 46%, says a Rhodium Group report.
