ASM, ASML and Nexperia not impacted by new US semicon export crackdown (for now)

The US has launched a third wave of semiconductor export restrictions to China, expanding the ‘black list’ of Chinese companies and imposing new curbs on chips and chipmaking equipment. Nexperia’s parent company Wingtech is affected, while ASM International and ASML see no immediate impact, although this could change if the Dutch government adopts the same rules. It’s done so in the past.

The addition of Wingtech to the so-called entity list will have limited consequences for Nexperia, a spokesperson told Reuters. “The listing subjects Wingtech’s access to US technology to licensing requirements. These do not apply to Nexperia or its subsidiaries. Nexperia will comply with the US restrictions as these apply to its interactions with Wingtech.”
