I used to work in the Semiconductor Industry in China but have moved on to something else. I still have connections with certain people in the Industry who regularly update me on the latest developments.
You seem to be the only person in this thread with anything even approximating relevant firsthand knowledge. When do you anticipate the first Chinese production-ready EUV lithograph being introduced?

Hi horse,

From a buddy of yours , MOTIF of china military forum. A technical question what uses is this new equipment for?

Successful trial production of a new generation of large-size integrated circuit silicon single crystal growth equipment​

12/25/2020, 2:44:39 PM
Economic Daily-China Economic Net News reporter Zhang Yi reported: The first domestic new generation large-size integrated circuit silicon single crystal growth equipment jointly developed by Xi'an University of Technology and Xi'an Eswell Silicon Technology Co., Ltd. has achieved a successful trial production in Xi'an recently.
It is reported that large-size semiconductor silicon single crystal materials are a "bottleneck" problem that restricts the development of China's integrated circuit industry.
A breakthrough in this field is of great significance to meet the development of China's integrated circuit industry.
Since 2018, the team of Professor Liu Ding of Xi'an University of Technology has worked closely with Xi'an Eswell Silicon Wafer Technology Co., Ltd. to carry out technical research and successfully developed high-quality silicon single crystal materials with a diameter of 300 mm and a length of 2,100 mm.
It has achieved a breakthrough in successfully drawing large-size, high-quality integrated circuit-level silicon single crystal materials with self-developed domestic equipment.

From what I can gather... the majority of producers of monocrystalline silicon are either from the west or Japan... monocrystalline silicon wafers, which are made from monocrystalline silicon through wafering are used for semiconductor production... and I would has it a guess that the majority of the equipment in wafer production either come from the US or use US tech... so this production equipment would mean tech independence for one of the steps in wafer production

This equipment is for the production of 12 inch Wafers. This is significant as it means China can now make its own indigenous wafer production equipment.
SMIC has plans to build a 12inch wafer facility and this equipment will probably be used in the production process.

I used to work in the Semiconductor Industry in China but have moved on to something else. I still have connections with certain people in the Industry who regularly update me on the latest developments.
I like posting updates on the latest developments in the Industry in China just to drive people like Marco Rubio and Ron Vara Crazy.

I believe the Tape out and then the subsequent trial production of the N+1 (8nm) Chip has been successfully carried out lately.
Thats why Liang said that Risk Mass Production will happen in April 2021.
Risk Mass Production means real Mass production for an actual customer. So SMIC has already lined up some clients to supply the N+1 Chips to.
N+2 is the actual 7nm Chip apparently.

I posted some information about Chiplet technology a few pages back. You can refer to it.
But basically it means that for eg: a 7nm Chip,
with this technology, only certain minor parts of the Chip needs to be fabricated at 7nm, the other components of the Chip can be done at 14nm.
This will reduce cost of production and benefit producers like SMIC who maybe currently lack the latest production technology.

Thank you, please keep us informed.

This is what happens when Chinese smartphone vendors like Xiaomi, Oppo, Realme, and Vivo move to more of their products to Mediatek and away from Qualcomm.

Good, Anglo American companies must not profit from this trade war, rather, they should be crippled for their role in encouraging this tech and trade war.
