SMIC makes major move to complete its 7nm & 8nm processes
from gizchina, May. 26, 2020 –
In recent times, Chinese chip maker, SMIC has been in the news for multiple reasons. The company is currently in charge of Huawei's Kirin 710A processor. This chip uses SMIC's 14nm process and clocks 2.0GHz. This lower version of the Kirin 710 is a milestone achievement for China's semiconductor chip technology.
SMIC is the only foundry company in China that can provide a 14-nanometer process. In the face of the recent US ban, it is now a "go-to" company for many Chinese OEMs. Recent reports show that Shanghai SMIC's 14nm chip is swiftly moving to full capacity. However, the company is already looking forward to other advanced processes.
SMIC's 7nm process has been in development for a long time. However, due to the lack of high-end lithography machines, the progress of research and development has been slow.
