Uhulumeni waseNingizimu Korea uzonciphisa imisebenzi yokungenisa kwamanye amazwe ibe ngu-zero kumagesi amathathu ayivelakancane asetshenziswa ekukhiqizeni ama-semiconductor chip -neon, xenonfuthiikriptoni– kusukela ngenyanga ezayo. Mayelana nesizathu sokuhoxiswa kwezintela, uNgqongqoshe Wezokuhlela Nezezimali waseNingizimu Korea, uHong Nam-ki, uthe umnyango uzosebenzisa ama-quota we-zero-tariff on.neon, xenonfuthiikriptoningo-Ephreli, ikakhulukazi ngoba le mikhiqizo incike kakhulu ekuthengisweni okuvela eRussia nase-Ukraine. Kuyafaneleka ukusho ukuthi iNingizimu Korea okwamanje ibeka intela ye-5.5% kulawa magesi amathathu angavamile, futhi manje ilungiselela ukwamukela intela ye-quota engu-0%. Ngamanye amazwi, iNingizimu Korea ayikhokhisi intela ekuthengisweni kwala magesi. Lesi silinganiso sibonisa ukuthi umthelela wokutholakala kwegesi eyivelakancane kanye nokungalingani kwesidingo embonini ye-semiconductor yaseKorea mkhulu.

Ngobani lokhu?

Isinyathelo saseNingizimu Korea siza ngenxa yokukhathazeka kokuthi inkinga yase-Ukraine yenze kwaba nzima ukuhlinzekwa kwegesi eyivelakancane nokuthi ukukhuphuka kwamanani entengo kungalimaza imboni ye-semiconductor. Ngokusho kwedatha yomphakathi, inani leyunithi yeneonigesi engeniswe isuka eSouth Korea ngoJanuwari inyuke ngo-106% uma iqhathaniswa nezinga elijwayelekile ngo-2021, kanye nenani leyunithiikriptoniigesi nayo inyuke ngo-52.5% ngesikhathi esifanayo. Cishe wonke amagesi ayivelakancane aseNingizimu Korea angeniswa kwamanye amazwe, futhi ancike kakhulu ekuthengisweni okuvela eRussia nase-Ukraine, okunomthelela omkhulu embonini ye-semiconductor.

Ukuthembela KwaseNingizimu Korea Kumagesi Ahloniphekile

Ngokusho koMnyango Wezohwebo, Izimboni kanye Nezamandla waseNingizimu Korea, ukuncika kwezwe ekuthengisweni kwempahla kwamanye amazweneon, xenon, futhiikriptonikusukela eRussia nase-Ukraine ngo-2021 kuyoba 28% (23% e-Ukraine, 5% eRussia), 49% (31% eRussia, Ukraine 18%), 48% (Ukraine 31%, Russia 17%). I-Neon iyinto ebalulekile yama-lasers e-excimer kanye nezinqubo ze-TFT zezinga lokushisa eliphansi le-polysilicon (LTPS), futhi i-xenon ne-krypton yizinto ezibalulekile kunqubo yokufaka imbobo ye-3D NAND.
