Security has determined that foreign
availability exists for anisotropic plasma
dry etching equipment controlled for
national security reasons under Export
Control Classification Number (ECCN)
3B001.c on the Commerce Control List.
This foreign availability determination
is in response to a submission from the
Semiconductor Equipment and
Materials International (SEMI) industry
association. The Bureau of Industry and
Security (BIS) has provided a proposal
to the Department of State to submit to
the Wassenaar Arrangement on Export
Controls for Conventional Arms and
Dual-Use Goods and Technologies to
remove the 3.B.1.c control from the
Arrangement’s Dual-Use List. This
determination was made pursuant to
Section 5(f) of the Export
Administration Act of 1979, as
amended, and Part 768 of the EAR.
ADDRESSES: BIS welcomes comments on
this foreign availability determination
on an ongoing basis. You may submit
comments by any of the following
methods:

Dry Etching Equipment Determination’’

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Section 5(f) of the Export
Administration Act of 1979, as amended
(EAA), authorizes the Secretary of
Commerce to conduct foreign
availability assessments to examine and
evaluate the effectiveness of U.S. export
controls on certain items that are
controlled for national security reasons
under the Export Administration
Regulations (EAR) (15 CFR parts 730–
774). The Bureau of Industry and
Security (BIS) has been delegated from
the Secretary of Commerce the
responsibility for conducting these
assessments and issuing a final foreign
availability determination. Part 768 of
the EAR sets forth the procedures
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 235001
related to foreign availability
assessments.
On July 16, 2014, BIS received a
foreign availability submission from the
Semiconductor Equipment and
Materials International (SEMI) industry
association, a group of companies that
does business all over the world and
that serve the manufacturing supply
chain for the micro- and nanoelectronics industries. SEMI’s July 16,
2014 submission asserts the foreign
availability of anisotropic plasma dry
etching equipment in China. This type
of semiconductor etching equipment is
controlled for national security reasons
under Export Control Classification
Number (ECCN) 3B001.c on the
Commerce Control List (CCL). It is used
in the process for producing dual-use
semiconductor devices such as flash
memories, microwave monolithic
integrated circuits, transistors, and
analog-to-digital-converters. These
devices are used in civil and military
applications such as radars, point-topoint radio communications,
microprocessors, cellular infrastructure,
and satellite communications. The
national security control BIS has
applied to anisotropic plasma dry
etching equipment implements the
Wassenaar Arrangement’s Dual-Use List
3.B.1.c control. SEMI’s submission
asserts that anisotropic plasma dry etch
equipment of comparable quality to that
subject to control under ECCN 3B001.c
is available-in-fact from China in
sufficient quantities to render the U.S.
export control of the equipment
ineffective.
After reviewing SEMI’s submission,
on September 8, 2014, BIS published in
the Federal Register a Notice of Foreign
Availability Assessment: Anisotropic
Plasma Dry Etching Equipment (79 FR
53166), which formally initiated a
foreign availability assessment. To carry
out the assessment, BIS conducted
interagency meetings with stakeholders,
obtained input from the exporting
community, and visited, in China, a
producer of anisotropic plasma dry
etching equipment meeting the 3B001.c
control parameters, and a foundry using
a Chinese-produced anisotropic plasma
dry etching tool. As a result of BIS’s
analysis of the data collected through
the assessment, BIS recommended that
I determine that the etching equipment
of ECCN 3B001.c capability is availablein-fact to China, from a non-U.S.
(Chinese) source, in sufficient quantity,
and of comparable quality so that
continuation of the existing national
security export control would be
ineffective in achieving its purpose.
After reviewing the assessment and
recommendation, I determined that

anisotropic plasma dry etching
equipment controlled for national
security reasons under ECCN 3B001.c
on the CCL is foreign available to China.
Consequently, BIS has submitted a
proposal to the Department of State to
remove the Wassenaar Arrangement’s
Dual-Use List 3.B.1.c control.
