Huawei and its state-backed chipmaking partner, SiCarrier, have made significant strides in semiconductor technology by filing patents for a low-tech but potentially effective method to produce advanced semiconductors, aiming to master end-to-end mass production of 7nm chips. This development is part of China's broader efforts to enhance its domestic chip production capabilities despite U.S. restrictions, with a focus on mature technology and the establishment of a massive new national fund to sustain double-digit growth. Chinese and China-based firms manufactured $200 billion worth of chips last year, while imports amounted to $350 billion. However, China's semiconductor imports in 2023 decreased to $349.4 billion, down roughly 20% from their 2021 peak, with domestic sales reaching a record high of over 1.3 trillion yuan. The adoption of the 'self-aligned quadruple patterning' (SAQP) technique for 5nm semiconductor manufacturing could reduce China's dependence on high-end lithography equipment. Additionally, China has started replacing U.S. semiconductor chips and software, specifically Intel, AMD, Microsoft, and Oracle, with domestic products as part of a broader 'Xinchuang' or localization strategy.
Amazing! China has started replacing US semiconductor chips and software with domestic, Chinese products! 🔥 Intel, AMD ❌ Microsoft, Oracle ❌ “Xinchuang” or localization is a phased process that will take a couple of years to be completed. The ONLY country in the world to… https://t.co/QP0gv2CM2d
