SMIC no longer has 14nm nodes on its official website... hmmm
特别是芯片材料方面,这是消耗品,需要持续供应,而美国的泛林集团、日本的东京电子等几乎垄断着先进的光刻胶等材料

The problem with Oppo is that they mostly cater to the high end of the smartphone market. So they would have to fab their chips at either TSMC or Samsung. Production can be cut at the stroke of a pen with sanctions. So why bother. I think Xiaomi is way more viable as a chip designer company. They have much more penetration in the lower end of the market, so they need lower costs, and can use older processes which can be made in mainland China.
Yeah the article is nuts, but just checked SMIC's website, indeed it's no longer there. Or was it never there in the first place?Read this and laughed:
They did not merely assert that Lam Research and TEL produced photoresist, they said they monopolized photoresist chemical supply.
lolwut? Do they even...

I remember from their quarterly reports that they put everything in 28 nm as (28 nm and FinFET)Yeah the article is nuts, but just checked SMIC's website, indeed it's no longer there. Or was it never there in the first place?

they used to have 14nm and then replaced it with Finfet (because you know, they produce 7nm now & don't want the world to know where they are at)Yeah the article is nuts, but just checked SMIC's website, indeed it's no longer there. Or was it never there in the first place?
Frankly even if they get rid of Finfet there, it just means they are hiding things evne more向全球客户提供0.35微米到FinFET不同技术节点的晶圆代工与技术服务
basically, good news across.28/40nm demand
lost orders in CMOS, LCD driver, finger print 8-inch demand -> low utilizations
rush orders coming in for 28/40nm 2-inch processes, full utilization, DDIC for mobile phone/monitor, CMOS, LED drivers - Chinese supply chain is re-shuffling. New suppliers getting into supply chain in China & they are ordering from SMIC. New customers getting higher market share & are designing new chip products for SMIC to make. No inventory for these new products, so production will be throughout the year. SMIC will need to efficiently produce these new chip products to continue to recover. A lot of demand in NEV. SMIC still developing product support and cannot handle all the demands yet. See demand in smart home/consumer electronics recover. SMIC still seeing demand weak for smart phone, but it's getting a large portion of smart phone chip demand due to supply chain changes. See recovery for LED drivers.
need to keep up R&D to develop products and be competitive. Also work with SMIC customers to produce quality product and increase their market share. In smartphones, EVs & monitors, the new suppliers should have demand for at least 1 year.
Goal is to increase 50k wpm of 12-inch capacity a year. Will push for faster delivery of equipment for 28/40 process if they see that's where demand is.
embedded flash, high voltage, specialty memory products moving from 40 to 28nm
BCD products moving from 90 to 65nm
other products moving 90 to 55nm or more advanced to be competitive
Customers need all their products to be auto grade so they can be used across the board in various applications, so SMIC need to make its product support auto grade
There are 11 categories of NEV products with over 1000 products. SMIC need to increase production run & quality to get large customer orders
old customers still have high inventory
