北京复旦 微电子技术 有限公司 深圳市复旦微电子有限公司 上海复控华龙微系统技术有限公司（MCU/SoC） 上海复微迅捷数字技术有限公司（数字 IC设计 ） 上海华岭 集成电路 技术股份有限公司（IC测试） 吉姆西半导体科技（无锡）有限公司（IC设计+封测） 吉存半导体科技（上海）有限公司（ 存储芯片 设计） 长沙楠菲微电子有限公司（网络 通信 芯片） 复旦微电子此次被列入实体清单，影响是多方面的，最主要的影响应该在两方面： 1、EDA工具受限后，研发受到阻碍； 2、 流片 代工受到影响。 有朋友问了一个有趣的问题，美国实体清单已经不是什么新鲜事了，寒武纪不也早被美国列入了实体清单了，今年不但扭亏为盈，营收大增，股价还一举超越了茅台，成为了股市中的“寒王”，美国实体清单是不是已经成了纸老虎？ 话说当年美国祭出实体清单的大棒的时候，看上去确实非常可怕，但是随着这么多年这么多企业被上榜后，大家都硬扛下来，居然也都活过来甚至有的还活得更好了，证明实体清单的威力确实是越来越小了。 复旦微和寒武纪虽然都是上了实体清单，但是他们的待遇还是有些区别的，主要区别在于被标注了脚注4（Footnote 4），这个FN4意味着：不仅 先进制程 ，成熟制程同样被切断。 - 所有受EAR（出口管理条例）管辖的物项，包括美国原产技术、设备、软件，以及外国生产的含美技术产品，均需申请许可证，且审查政策为“推定拒绝”； - 脚注4（FN4）适用于所有外国生产的、包含美国技术的产品，无论制程节点是7nm还是180nm； - 只要代工方使用美系设备或EDA工具（如Applied Materials、Synopsys、Cadence），即受限制，无法为复旦微电子流片； - 成熟制程（如28nm、40nm、65nm）同样无法规避，因为全球几乎所有 晶圆厂 （包括 中芯国际 、 台积电 、联电、华虹）都依赖美系设备。 复旦微电子的清单级别更高，FN4 使其在任何含美技术节点上都被全球封杀，寒武纪仍可在部分去美化产线获得代工。 截至2025年9月，被美国商务部在“实体清单”中加注Footnote 4（FN4）的中国大陆 IC 设计公司（含其控股母公司及核心子公司）共 9 家/组，名单如下： 1. 上海复旦微电子集团股份有限公司（Fudan Microelectronics） - 2025-09-12 新增，FN4 首次应用于纯商用 FPGA/MCU 企业 。 2. 北京算能科技有限公司（Sophgo）及其 11 家子公司 - 2025-01-15 新增，FN4 覆盖其 AI 大模型 训推 TPU 产品线 。 3. 北京智谱华章科技有限公司（Zhipu AI）及其 10 家子公司 - 同批 2025-01-15 新增，FN4 针对其“智谱芯”AI 芯片设计业务 。 4. 壁仞科技（Biren）集团全部 7 家子公司 - 2023-10-17 新增，FN4 限制其 7 nm 通用 GPU BR100/BR104 在海外流片 。 5. 摩尔线程（Moore Threads）集团全部 3 家子公司 - 同批 2023-10-17 新增，FN4 切断其 MTT S3000/S4000 系列 GPU 海外代工 。 6. 超燃半导体（南京）有限公司 - 2023-10-17 新增，FN4 针对其高速 DSP + SerDes IP 产品 。 7. 光线云（杭州）科技有限公司 - 同批 2023-10-17 新增，FN4 限制其云原生 GPU 渲染芯片流片 。 8. 海光信息技术股份有限公司（Higon） - 2022-12-15 新增，FN4 应用于其 x86-GPGPU 高端 服务器 芯片 。 9. 长沙景嘉微电子股份有限公司（Jingjia Micro） - 2021-12-17 新增，FN4 针对其军用/民用 GPU 产品线 。 另外，我们熟知的 海思半导体 2019年5月首次被列入实体清单以来，目前没有被加注 Footnote 4（FN4），BIS 仅对海思适用“常规”FDPR（外国直接产品规则），并未触发 FN4 的“零美技术”长臂管辖。 即便情况不同，复旦微依然可以抄作业，有很多方法可以采纳，比如效仿海光信息（同样被FN4）的策略，具体的就不能展开了，核心是把“设计-制造-封测”全部迁移到国产可控链条，并叠加政策窗口+囤货+工艺降级三管齐下。海光信息今年的业绩也是杠杠的，似乎完全没有受到实体清单的影响。 对于上市公司来说，短期可能有点利空，但是坏消息也可以理解为好消息，考验管理层的智慧和执行力，供应链脱困战后，公司就能赢来真正的自由。 点赞 收藏 相关推荐
