If true, then it is a GIGA based move from YMTC. Cuck companies like Xiaomi could learn a thing or two.

Confirmation of SMIC 's 7nm capabilities with 50% yield rate. It also looks like Huawei's EDA has further advanced.
Before you scream yields, remember that TSMC' s 3nm nodes have a 55 % yield rate
Before you scream yields, remember that TSMC' s 3nm nodes have a 55 % yield rate
this is still just a Nomura analyst making that assertion
From much better sources that I have access to, their yield is higher than that.
Remember, SMIC makes a batch of these chips and send them to HW and then another batch. The yield should be continuously improving. While at an earlier batch, it may have well been below 50%, but that's not the case anymore
The yields on 14nm are probably around 80-90% by now. Yields on 10nm are also probably decent since they have been manufacturing this process for several years. 7nm requires more passes and is likely to have lower yields. 50% yield is not unheard of for initial production in new processes. It would have been better if it was at least 60-70% but if the product is high value and low volume enough it can work.

Another semiconductor industry project started construction
Recently, the foundation stone laying ceremony for the semiconductor high-purity electronic process equipment manufacturing base project of Anhui Yiyue Technology Co., Ltd. was held.
Yiyue Technology Semiconductor high-purity electronic process equipment manufacturing base project is located in Hefei Xinqiao Science and Technology Innovation Demonstration Zone, covering an area of about 20 acres, with a total investment of about 320 million yuan, mainly engaged in semiconductor electronic grade chemicals, special gas supply systems, semiconductor plasma Research and development and manufacturing of exhaust gas treatment equipment and semiconductor core devices.In the future, Hefei Economic Development Zone will provide all-weather and all-round housekeeping services for the project, fully support the sustainable development of the project, and create a good environment for enterprises to invest and develop in the Economic Development Zone, become stronger and better, and achieve strategic goals.
The semiconductor diffusion equipment and material integration project of Taote Technology started
On July 25, the foundation stone laying ceremony for the semiconductor diffusion equipment and material integration project of Taote Technology (Hefei) Co., Ltd. was officially held in Xinzhan High-tech Zone. Chen Qingguo, deputy director of the Municipal Taiwan Affairs Office, attended the ceremony and delivered a speech.
Chen Qingguo said that the two sides of the strait are a family, and they are united in Taiwan. The integrated circuit industry is the top priority of Hefei's industrial development. After years of continuous cultivation, Hefei has built a complete industrial chain ecology from design, manufacturing, packaging and testing, equipment materials, to public service platforms. Tao Technology (Hefei) Co., Ltd.'s project will add a lot of color to the upstream materials link of Hefei's integrated circuit industry, and contribute to building Hefei into an important integrated circuit industry cluster in China.
Xinzhan High-tech Zone is an important window for Hefei's export-oriented economic development and a vast hot spot for the cultivation of skilled talents. It has successively won the "National New Industrialization Industry Demonstration Base", "National Science and Technology Revitalization Trade Innovation Base", "National Industry-City Integration Demonstration Zone" and so on. honor. In September 2018, Hefei was approved as the country's first "Cross-Strait Integrated Circuit Industry Cooperation Pilot Zone". The district will surely feel like a fish in water and have a bright future.
While this is well and good in principle, it's a moot point because the premise is false
They acquired the finnish company, a pioneer in ALD systems. The ALD machines come from Finland....
indeed core research and development did by finnish company but in 2018 this firm bought by Chinese firm now these machines manufacture in mainland.
On September 28, 2018, announced that it had sold all shares to a new, Chinese owner, Qingdao Sifang SRI Intellectual Technology Co. Ltd. (SRI Intellectual). Beneq, a Finnish company founded in 2005 with its headquarters in Espoo, is known the most renowned provider of thin film Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) equipment for semiconductor machines and related R&D, and is the number one producer of thin film electroluminescent displays globally. Beneq is mostly, yet not exclusively, active in Europe. The firm has now been bought by , a high-tech Chinese company focusing on high-tech solutions and rail vehicle systems.
interesting story here about domestic equipment being used in Hunan project
1st, 6-inch SiC project by CETC 48th institute using domestic SiC epitaxial growth equipment & high temp ion implantation machine. Have entered production
Another story about 8-inch IC project with 48th institute & hunan chuwei semi have started large scle production of 20k wpm using 95% domestic equipment and achieving 98% yield.
since this is 48th institute, like another RF or power related project
