A new thread for the Chinese semiconductor sector.

Current state of the sector as of 2024-01 (@tphuang please correct the following if there are errors)
  • Huawei’s Kirin 9000s is likely being manufactured by SMIC
  • SMEE‘s 28nm capable lithography machine rumour to be in acceptance test with SMIC and other semiconductor manufacturer.
  • 45-55nm de-Americanized production lines rumoured to be in operation.
  • Components of EUV lithography machine (LPP tin drop generator, CO2 laser, mirrors, etc) have been developed.
  • YMTC is producing 232-layer NAND memory. Production volume is unknown.
  • Many Fabs for older nodes are being built in China.

Hello world :)


We have picture like this few months ago. Now could be more.

I have translated it and wondering whether it is only for 2023 delivery and what month status? wondering how many total 2050i machines SMIC has as at the end of 2023?

I am expecting a bit more than 2 units SMEE SSA/800 in 2023 delivery .... @ansy1968 any news or rumours you have heard? hopefully SSA/900 can be delivered in 2024 for testing

Interesting that Nikon still selling immersion scanner Nikon 635

Sir those SSA800A are newly built final product NOT the prototype for verification, I sense that you need at least 3-4 machine to validate, so aside from SMIC, I think Huahong, YMTC, CXMT and maybe Huawei had received some sample, so in total maybe 8 to 12 prototype units were built in 2022 for verification (as they wait for U-Precision to finished their expansion plan in 2023)

And sir, IF I may, I want to give @siegecrossbow the applause, He posted that Huawei received 2 second hand NXT 1980i units and this report confirm it, Sir @siegecrossbow you have my respect and adulation.

So Huawei FAB its own chip is possible, not SMIC 7nm N+2 or the 14nm maybe the older nodes as they need to gain experience before embarking such ambitious project.
