ECCN 3D006
NSAT' Electronic Computer-Aided Design ' ( ' ECAD ' ) software specially designed for the development of integrated circuits having any Gate-All-Around Field-Effect Transistor ( GAAFET ) structure, and having any of the following .
What This ECCN Covers
ECCN 3D006 controls "Electronic Computer-Aided Design" ("ECAD") software specially designed for developing integrated circuits with certain advanced features (such as gate-all-around field-effect transistor structures), as defined in the entry. This chip-design software is controlled for National Security and Anti-Terrorism reasons.
Who needs to check this?
EDA software vendors and chip-design teams using or distributing ECAD tools for leading-edge transistor architectures.
Compliance tip
Control is specific to ECAD software for the advanced design features the entry names — confirm whether your tool meets that definition. This is a recent, evolving control; check the current entry and BIS guidance, and verify the §734.7 "published" exclusion before assuming software is outside the EAR.
Items Covered
- a.specially designed for implementing 'Register Transfer Level' ('RTL') to 'Geometrical Database Standard II' ('GDSII') or equivalent standard; or
- b.specially designed for optimization of power or timing rules.
Control Reasons
Items controlled for national security reasons under multilateral export control regimes.
Items controlled for anti-terrorism reasons. Most items on the CCL have AT controls.
