This is the statement CXMT give to SCMP

"In a statement to the South China Morning Post on Wednesday, CXMT said" the paper “describes fundamental research related to DRAM structure and the feasibility of 4F2 design” and “it has nothing to do with CXMT’s current production processes”, suggesting that the design on paper is far from becoming a marketable product.

“Any accusation that CXMT is violating US sanctions or export controls is completely inaccurate,” the company’s export control experts said. “We firmly believe that the free flow of ideas that IEDM seeks to foster is essential for the industry’s innovation and development.”
SCMP is such a clown.

any statement from mainland comes from Xinhua and CCTV news agencies. SCMP are outsiders. so CXMT just cannot give one on one interview to SCMP only. i haven't seen any statement from mainland channels.

and it might be true. CXMT trying to save themselves from US sanctions but it is pointless at this time .. sooner of later CXMT will be on sanction list..

Sai Micro report an ultra high frequency MEMS IC has just entered mass production. Unclear to me what this is for or who the customer is. But says it can be used for power switches, pulse modulators, uninterruptible power supplies, New energy inverters, UHF power supplies, NEV eMotor & other applications

In the past 6 months, several new MEMS ICs have gone into MP for Ai Micro. While imo not a huge field in revenue, it seems to have outsized impact in supply chain.

The importance of advanced auto chip capacity domestically goes beyond MCUs & SoCs. Case in SerDes chips

In this example, Norelsys unveiled its first 12.8Gbps SerDes chip

以此为基础,瑞发科与国内多家头部整车企业达成合作,已经实现前装量产上车近200万对,成为中芯国际(SMIC)国产车载芯片头部客户之一。

“瑞发科作为本届车展上唯一参展的国产车载SerDes芯片企业,源自十余年如一日的自主研发积累,尤其对知识产权专利体系等方面的高度重视,充分自信我们本次车展推出的系列国产车载SerDes芯片完全经得起客户以及友商的全面检视,在后续产品市场开拓上也将获得成功。

So its Serdes chips has been installed on 2million cars and it has become an important customer of SMIC.

This is likely use 40nm process. So SMIC having auto grade product is quite important in capturing these customers.

I hear that advanced AI large model systems use high bandwidth that need 3nm process to make Serdes chips. But in terms of auto industry, 40nm auto grade process seems sufficient for all the usage cases.

you mean Equipment available only for CXMT ?

YMTC already using domestic tools/equipment. October 2022 sanctions also blocked SMIC to get any kind of advance tools .. 14nm and below..

next year. 14nm de-Americanized line will be operational..

I want 7nm de-Americanized line is done

Yixin integrated semiconductor advanced packaging project goes into production!​


Yixin Integrated Circuit, on December 12, the commissioning ceremony and industry docking meeting for the semiconductor advanced packaging project of Yixin Integrated Circuit (Yiwu) Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Yixin Integrated") was held in Yiwu.

It is reported that the Yixin integrated factory will start construction in July 2022, covering an area of 70 acres, with a total construction area of approximately 49,900 square meters. The first phase of the factory will be completed in November 2023. Trial production is currently underway, and further operations are planned in 2024. Purchase equipment to expand production.

Information shows that Yixin Integration is a joint venture between SMIC Juyuan and Malaysian listed company Inari Meichang Group, with a registered capital of 1.691 billion yuan. It is committed to becoming a domestically advanced and high-tech RF front-end module system-level advanced packaging, Design and manufacturing platform for filter wafer level packaging and chip level packaging.​

The yield rate is over 90%! Another domestic SiCMOS achieves breakthrough in automotive regulations​


,Nari Semiconductor independently developed1200V/40mΩ The SiC MOSFET device (NCM40S12T4K2) successfully passed the AEC-Q101 automotive grade reliability certification, which not only verified Nari Semiconductor’s second-generation SiC MOSFET The reliability of the process platform has also laid a solid foundation for other SiC MOSFET products that will be mass-produced soon, marking that the quality of Nari Semiconductor products has reached international standards. Its leading level has laid a solid foundation for its market expansion in the field of new energy vehicles.

Nari Semiconductor NCM40S12T4K2 is designed with automotive grade standards and adopts low specific conductance micro-cell chip structural design technology, which has the following advantages:

● Specific on-resistance Ron,sp is as low as3.1mΩ·cm2, yield 90%, reaching the international first-class level;

● The product has passed HTRB, HV-H3TRB, etc.reliability test;

● New gate oxide process and electric field suppression equalization technology: compatible15V/18V technology platform, Ensure the high reliability of HTGB.

In terms of product structure, the second-generation SiC MOSFET is the same planar gate MOSFET as the first-generation product, but the process has been further optimized, which will:

● reduces the device specific on-resistance by about 25%, and significantly reduces switching losses, Improve system efficiency.

● Can withstand operating junction temperaturehighup to 175℃, in comparison with similar products, its specific on-resistance is lower, switching loss is smaller, switching speed is higher, and parasitic capacitance is lower.

● The second generation SiC MOSFET products still maintain high reliability and strong robustness, and have performed well in reliability certification, dynamic and static tests and other evaluations Excellent.

The first domestic SIC ingot 8-inch line stripping mass production equipment is delivered to customers​


Today, the 8-inch SiC ingot stripping production line of General Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. was officially delivered to customers!

In recent years, silicon carbide (SiC) power devices have continued to increase their share in the high-power semiconductor market and are used in a range of applications, such as new energy vehicles and urban rail transit, wind power generation, high-speed mobile communications, IoT, etc.

Due to its high hardness and brittleness, silicon carbide has a bottleneck in the field of SiC device manufacturing: the ingot dividing process. At present, SiC ingots are mainly cut by mortar wire/diamond wire, which has low efficiency and high loss. General Intelligence uses laser hidden cutting technology to complete the SiC ingot segmentation process and successfully achieves mass production of 8-inch silicon carbide ingot stripping equipment.
