China's Institute of Microelectronics reports a significant 500,000 on-off current ratio for a new gate-all-around transistor using deep ultraviolet lithography. However, this measure alone…
UBS estimates that China's lithography technology is significantly behind, comparable to ASML in 2004, with no viable EUV alternative expected within a decade. However,…
The Kirin 9050 Pro is the first chip built on Huawei's LogicFolding: two active silicon layers bonded face to face by 50 million vertical…
The MATCH Act would strip ASML of its remaining DUV sales to China and bar it from servicing machines already installed there. It's riding…
China's first homegrown immersion DUV lithography tool order includes five machines this year and twenty next year. This development signals a shift in the…
SMIC 5nm means leading-edge logic on DUV at punishing cost, driven by China's need to build Huawei's Ascend AI chips after the US banned…
SMIC 7nm shipped in the Huawei Mate 60 Pro's Kirin 9000S, a DUV-built chip that proved export controls could not cap China at 14nm.…
SMIC N+1 is a 7nm-class node built without EUV, after the 2020 Entity List cut SMIC off from the one machine the industry uses…
