SMIC says it has improved the yield rate of its 14nm manufacturing node
www.gizmochina.com, Aug. 13, 2020 –
Shanghai-based Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp (SMIC) last year secured a partnership with Huawei to manufacture some of its chipsets. It later emerged that the Kirin 710A was manufactured at SMIC foundry using the 14nm Finfet process. The chipset was used on the Honor Play 4T and Huawei Enjoy Tablet 2 meaning a level of mass production has been achieved.
SMIC has now announced during an interactive platform held on Tuesday (August 11) that it has now been able to improve the yield rate of its 14nm manufacturing node. Apparently, the company was yet to finish fine-tuning the process but had to test run it with supplies for the Kirin 710A to Huawei who is under pressure to source for an alternative after the USgoovernment tended the ban on the use of US technology on Huawei to foreign companies such as TSMC which usesUS tech for their manufacturing processes.
