Japan said it plans to expand restrictions on exports of four technologies related to semiconductors or quantum computing, the latest in a global push to control the flow of strategic tech.
Tokyo’s new measures will affect scanning electron microscopes, used to analyze nanoparticle images, and gate-all-around transistors, a technology embraced by Samsung Electronics Co. to improve semiconductor design. Japan will also require licenses for shipments of cryogenic CMOS circuits used in quantum computers, as well as for quantum computers themselves.
