Bro maybe Huawei was designated the vanguard to fast track tech development? Private sector move fast especially when under threat.There were widely circulated rumors two years ago that Huawei was poaching employees from SMEE to build its own litho machine, and SMEE complained and had escalated the issue.
Back then, there were also discussions and rumors about Huawei becoming a IDM and, indeed, that Huawei was trying to build their own fab, albeit of a rather old process node (40nm).
It makes a lot of sense for Huawei to acquire an old fab to practice and learn and build capability, with a goal to become an IDM eventually. But it simply defies logic that Huawei would build its own lithography machine, let alone DUV one. It just doesn't make any business sense.
I still largely remain unconvinced that Huawei would make its own DUV litho machine given the challenges, at least until we get more convincing evidence. But we also can not completely rule out the possibility. This ain't normal time for China's semiconductor industry. We can not approach the challenge strictly from a normal-functioning market perspective, not even from a key state project perspective perhaps. Besides, SMEE is really just an integrator without a particularly strong track records, a role that Huawei can also play, perhaps even better at it. The success of China's DUV/EUV depends much on the subassembly, component suppliers, as well as large state R&D institutions. Finally, SMEE is not the only institution in China that builds lithography machines, CETC, the state-owned defense electronics giant, also does.
My issue with these claims is that a company as sanctioned as them should be publicly announcing this to re assure customers that their hardware solution is viable - strange not to see that. In general a lot of claims in this forum but unlike the military threads there’s no visual or print evidenceBro maybe Huawei was designated the vanguard to fast track tech development?

they are the test mouse of domestic companies... chips, Nanflash, domestic screen.. they are the first to use...they are semi-state and private companies...Bro maybe Huawei was designated the vanguard to fast track tech development? Private sector move fast especially when under threat.
hello bro how's your day, I still can't get over your post on A-SET, please post more. They did by proclaiming the Return of The King, My opinion they will announce once everything is in order , 2023 will be a blockbuster year for Huawei, IF the report and rumors of what we discuss here come true, it will surely shook the Americans...lol the symbolism it project since the US is more concern on their Image will be damaging, like an earthquake, The SMIC 7nm already unsettled them what more IF Huawei introduce a 5G KIRIN 7nm chip powering their smartphone.My issue with these claims is that a company as sanctioned as them should be publicly announcing this to re assure customers that their hardware solution is viable - strange not to see that.

they are forming their domestic semiconductor supply chain...5 months ago Huawei's rotating president say we will build 3 big projects in the future.... and he also announced Huawei has chip stacking technology.... Huawei buying a chip foundry in Ningbo to manufacture their auto chips and RF chips...well enough...hello bro how's your day, I still can't get over your post on A-SET, please post more.

Sir why didn't they bought SMEE? maybe the Corporate Culture is different so they decided to do it themselves? I have seen that Hubble investment are primary on Critical component like RSLaser and such and the rest are being subsidies by gov't, so there is a hidden State coordination and Huawei was given the task to identify those critical mass needed to ensure mass production.they are forming their domestic semiconductor supply chain...5 months ago Huawei's rotating president say we will build 3 big projects in the future.... and he also announced Huawei has chip stacking technology....

Their ambition is to advance the domestic semiconductor supply chain....and de-america semiconductor parts components.Thưa ông, tại sao họ không mua SMEE? có may Văn hóa Doanh nghiệp khác, họ sẽ tự quyết định? Tôi đã thấy rằng đầu tư của Hubble chủ yếu vào thành phần quan trọng như RSLaser và các thứ tương tự và phần còn lại được chính phủ hỗ trợ, vì vậy, có một sự ẩn giấu của Nhà nước và Huawei được giao nhiệm vụ service verify the volume of important that to an ninh sản xuất hàng loạt.
