全球半导体行业在Covid-19期间呼吁国家优先考虑半导体供应链操作

经过半导体工业协会

今天，10个行业协会，代表数百个半导体和半导体供应链公司，发出了一个陈述呼吁国家优先考虑半导体作业，因为他们可以制作公共卫生措施，以战斗Covid-19大流行。

The statement is consistent with the semiconductor industry’s core priorities in response to this global health crisis: ensuring the health and safety of its workers, contributing to the effort to combat the virus, and sustaining the continuity of the critical systems and technologies that underpin modern society.

The statement’s signatories – including the Semiconductor Industry Associations in China, Chinese Taipei, EU, Japan, Korea, U.S., and Singapore, as well as industry groups representing the semiconductor and electronics industries in Malaysia and the Philippines – call on governments to specify semiconductor and supply chain operations as “essential infrastructure” and/or “essential business” to ensure continuity of operations in the face of government lockdowns, shelter-in-place orders, or other restrictions on the movement of people.

该声明突出了半导体的基本性，作为控制和实现基本基础设施和生命关键设备，如医疗保健和医疗设备，水系统和能源网格，运输和通信网络以及金融系统的关键组成的基本性质。

该陈述还指出，由于半导体供应链的高度集成和全球性质，因此在其他地区的生产不能容易地制造一个区域中的操作限制产生的短缺。这种短缺导致电子工厂下游的线条局势，在我们的数字经济中具有涟漪效应。

我们期待继续与全球各国政府进行打击Covid-19，并确保半导体产业仍然是在全球健康危机期间保持关键基础设施和运营的连续性的有价值的贡献者。
