From my understanding, the UV LED is indeed weaker and has a larger emission area but is much more energy efficient, longer lasting, and because you can tailor the emission area, you can optimize optics for lower loss.

This is a lab scale example of a maskless UV LED setup at 365 nm using just a small 4W array.

I could definitly be done with some modifications.

其实就是没钱，所以没立项。把有限的钱用到最要紧的项目上

In fact, there was no money, so the project was not approved. Use limited money on the most important projects

Hope that CXMT DRAM chips also would be used in many sectors.

unknown 'little tech giants' keep generating billions of Yuan from local/central government through various source. government has planning to establish 10,000 of these SEMs by 2025. for them they have established Beijing stock exchange.

but the most important and critical for China's semiconductor life, SMEE have shortage of money. LOOL i don't believe this.

in the past SMEE have had shortage of money but right now i strongly believe money is not the problem. Shanghai government announce blueprint of technology2025 and vision 2030. in which they will support all tech firms. and semiconductor industry is the center of the attention.

The Acer Predator GM7 is a fast and very efficient PCIe 4.0 SSD. In fact, it’s the most efficient SSD we have tested to date by a significant amount. The GM7's all-around performance is good to great, and its performance in sustained workloads is also quite good. The drive is also single-sided and runs cool, making it one of the

. The GM7 is also noteworthy for using NAND flash from the China-based YMTC fab, but it doesn't use the company's newest 232-Layer TLC flash, meaning the best might be yet to come.

Our current Predator GM7 sample uses a revised version of YMTC’s 128-Layer flash, but the more performant 232-Layer variant is promised and would make for an even better drive. Competing drives will likely arrive with Micron’s 232-Layer TLC and the TenaFe TC2201 controller, but the GM7 is the efficiency king for now.

I read through that part you talked about. It looks like this was talking about why certain project didn't get started back in the days.

I think there is already funding, but maybe there weren't enough funding when the projects first started back 4 years ago.

Also to @european_guy
it looks like he is saying that the existing 90nm ARF scanner can be used up to 65nm process. And that the new ICRD line is a 55nm process. Things that he say often contradict themselves, so I can only assume that ICRD is multi-patterning ARF dry scanner to do 55nm process.

I mean first he says that the ARF dry is for 55nm process at ICRD and it needs to be validated before mass production. Then he says ARF dry is for 90nm process and it is already mass produced with 10 U-Precision DWS supplied.

A lot of news these days from Loongson. 2K1000LA which started production a while back now has their embedded development platform being sold at 1499 RMB
It's installed with LoongOS operating system and uses real time Linux technology. 2K1000LA can also be installed (already tested) with SylixOS (a Chinese linux Real time OS) and OpenHarmony.

No doubt, they are aiming for wider adaptation of Loongson chips and LoongArch.

研祥智能 (EVOC), which produces specialized industrial computers and controllers for different industries, equipments and manufacturing, has now come out with a fully domestic computer

This one uses Loongson 3A5000 CPU along with 7A2000 GPU set.
It's COM-1501-LX motherboard supports Loongnix and Kylin OS + other domestic OS.

It can be widely used in national defense, government, scientific research, medical treatment, electric power, communication, transportation and other fields.

Hua Hong Semiconductor plans to establish a 12-inch wafer manufacturing joint venture, with the registered capital increased to US$4.02 billion​

Hua Hong Semiconductor Co., Ltd. announced that the company, Hua Hong Grace, the National Integrated Circuit Industry Fund II and Wuxi City Entity entered into a joint venture agreement on January 18, 2023.
