Move comes after report US will remove Hesai from blacklist (Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor) - New York, 16 Aug - Chinese semiconductor equipment maker Advanced Micro-Fabrication Equipment (AMEC) has filed a lawsuit in an American court against the US Department of Defense for adding it to a blacklist, Nikkei Asia reported, citing the company.

In January, Shanghai-based AMEC was included in the Department of Defense's list of "Chinese military companies" operating in the US.

The company said the inclusion was "erroneous, factually incorrect, without legal basis, and in violation of procedural due process, which has had a significantly detrimental impact on AMEC's reputation," the Nikkei Asia said, citing AMEC.

The lawsuit comes days after the Financial Times said the Department of Defense plans to remove another company, vehicle lidar maker Hesai Technology, from the blacklist.
