It's risky. Like they said, since Huawei is doing the final packaging there's 2 different types of failures that can occur: design failures and process failures. Huawei will definitely need to embed a ton of test and debug features for both individual chips and the assembled package if they want to go this route.@tokenanalyst ,@Oldschool ,@WTAN @foofy and @FairAndUnbiased , brothers I have a crazy question so do bare with me, IF its possible that Huawei or Hisilicon let SMIC fab an unfinished 14nm chips and they're the one to finished the packaging as they had done with TSMC 5nm chips that led to kirin 9006C. In this way they may circumvent the sanction by stating the Chip as unfinished product thus not recorded?
5nm Kirin 9006C chip comes out, Huawei successfully breaks through again
2022-05-04 18:58 HKT
Many people speculate that Huawei may have broken through the chip blockade of Eagle Sauce , because recently Huawei's new products use a Kirin chip that has never been seen before. This chip is called Kirin 9006 .
What makes many people wonder is how this chip was made? We must know that the current blockade of Huawei by Yingjiang has not relaxed at all. Who is so bold and antagonistic to Yingjiang?
Huawei's precautions
In fact, everyone has misunderstood that although this chip has just come out, but these chips are not just out of the library, but from Huawei's inventory. This Kirin 9006 chip still uses TSMC technology, and this chip is still the top 5nm process . In terms of structure and performance, Kirin 9006 series chips and Huawei's Kirin 9000 belong to the same brothers , and the similarity between the two is very high in these aspects.
In fact, after Eagle Sauce gave Huawei an ultimatum, Huawei, which was unwilling to give in, could only ask TSMC to produce as many chips as possible for itself at the last moment , so that it could hold on for a while when Eagle Sauce suppressed in the future. time. However, at this time, Huawei encountered a serious problem. At that time, Huawei was developing the Kirin 9006 chip, but this chip had not been thoroughly designed yet, and many structures of the chip needed to be perfected, and it had not yet reached the standard for mass production.
But at this time, Huawei knows that if the chip cannot be mass-produced in a short period of time, then this chip will probably stay on the drawing forever, and there will never be a way to be manufactured . This situation is completely unacceptable for Huawei. Huawei has spent a lot of money to develop this chip. If this chip fails at this time , it means that all of Huawei's early investment will be in vain and become meaningless . This will make Huawei, which is already struggling to make a profit this year, even more cramped in the capital chain. So at this time Huawei made a major decision.
Risky decision
Huawei's risky decision is to let TSMC directly produce the Kirin 9006 chip according to Huawei's current progress in the design of the Kirin 9006 chip . This decision surprised many people. Because this means that even if the Kirin 9006 chip is mass-produced, the obtained chip cannot be used in the product immediately , because it is basically a semi-finished product, and the design of many parts is not complete.
Huawei's idea is that since the overall framework of the chip has been laid out, it is better to build the chip first , so that the chip will not be completely stuck on the drawing and there is no way to mass produce it. As for the flaws and deficiencies in the chip design process, Huawei can make up and improve in the future, so that this chip will finally have the strength to carry .
In fact, this is a very risky decision.
First of all, Huawei does not know whether there are loopholes in the design of this chip . Because this chip has not been officially taped out and has not undergone performance testing, Huawei does not know whether there are design flaws in the design of this chip. At this time, it is a very risky decision for Huawei to mass-produce this chip . Because once discovered in the later stage, this chip has design flaws , it is very likely that this chip can not be put into practical applications in the end, which will be a huge loss for Huawei .
Secondly, whether Huawei has the technical strength to perfect these semi-finished chips and finally apply them to the use of products , these are questions that have to be considered. However, in the end, in order to be able to win more capital for the turnaround , Huawei resolutely put this chip into mass production.
Huawei ushered in new opportunities
Facts have proved that Huawei's decision is correct. After several months of hard work, Huawei has relied on its strong technical strength to perfect all of these Kirin 9006 chips . At present, these chips can already be used in products. Through performance testing, Kirin 9006 is superior to Huawei's previous flagship Kirin 9000 in all aspects . It can be seen that Kirin 9006 may help Huawei achieve a new round of technological breakthroughs in the future.
At present, Huawei's latest laptop "Qingyun L420" has begun to carry the low-profile version of the Kirin 9006C of this chip. According to user feedback, this laptop is equipped with Huawei's latest chip, which is superior in performance, fluency, and power consumption. The performance is very good . The advent of the Kirin 9006 caught Eagle-chan by surprise. No one thought that a few months later, Huawei could actually pull out a hole card at this time . It seems that Eagle-chan's desire to defeat Huawei in one fell swoop was completely shattered .
Huawei's foresight has given itself more capital to turn around when fighting against Yingjiang's suppression. Of course, these can only help Huawei persist for a longer time. In the future, if Huawei wants to go more smoothly, it still has to achieve technological breakthroughs. Therefore, we must expect Huawei to make more efforts.
5nm Kirin 9006C chip came out, Huawei once again demonstrated its own strength
Unexpectedly, Huawei still has a hole card! 5nm chip came out, Huawei successfully turned over

I tried to pull up the original patent here but you need an account to use the site. Surely some of the "industry insiders" who post here are able to browse the Chinese patent registry, so I'll eagerly await them posting the full patent here.
Everyone in the industry knows the jargon. Doesn't make them 100% accurate, also doesn't make them an expert at all sectors in the semiconductor industry. I've always been clear about my limits of understanding. It helps to be clear about this, to ensure that people understand what is conjecture and what isn't.
A higher bar to clear is knowing specialist suppliers, tools and parts that aren't reported on in the media. Everyone knows TSMC and ASML because the media goes on and on about them. How many people know say UCT Holdings, what they do, and why they're important?
A yet higher bar to clear is being able to cite relevant literature. There's plenty of public information out there, the challenge is to find the relevant information from a pile of irrelevant info.
Please argue with some sense here, don't degrade this thread.
Sorry guys, got the dates wrong. Thought this was present.
