""Idaho and America are at the leading edge of semiconductor innovation. It is vital we maintain this position by strengthening our export controls and closing loopholes that our adversaries exploit to obtain critical technologies like semiconductor manufacturing equipment," Risch said in a press release."
""The MATCH Act will prevent adversaries from undermining the U.S. semiconductor industry and threatening our national security.""
""The bill targets the essential, or 'chokepoint,' inputs for semiconductor manufacturing as the main subject of the new export controls.""
The MATCH Act aims to update semiconductor export control laws to prevent adversaries, particularly China, from obtaining key technology and equipment. It seeks to harmonize export controls among the U.S. and its allies. The bill focuses on essential inputs for semiconductor manufacturing, prohibiting their sale to countries of concern. Senators Risch, Ricketts, and Kim introduced the bill, with support from Sen. Schumer and Rep. Baumgartner in the House. The legislation is crucial for maintaining U.S. leadership in semiconductor innovation and national security.
