***ATTENTION RESEARCHERS WORKING IN THE SEMICONDUCTOR DEVELOPMENT/DESIGN AREA***





On Monday, August 15, 2022, the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) announced new controls on four technologies they have determined meet the criteria of Section 1758 of the Export Control Reform Act (ECRA), pertaining to emerging and foundational technologies.



Among the technologies called out are 1) "two substrates of ultra-wide bandgap semiconductors (Gallium Oxide (Ga2 O3) and diamond)" and 2) "Electronic Computer Aided Design (ECAD) software specially designed for the development of integrated circuits with any Gate-All-Around Field-Effect Transistor (GAAFET) structure."



BIS's announcement can read in its entirety at the following link: 87 FR 49979<https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2022/08/15/2022-17125/implementation-of-certain-2021-wassenaar-arrangement-decisions-on-four-section-1758-technologies>
