Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. (SMIC) is planning to mass-produce 5nm Kirin chips designed by Huawei's HiSilicon unit for smartphones. SMIC intends to use its stock of US and Dutch-made equipment to build the chips in Shanghai, aiming to support Beijing's goal for advanced semiconductors. The move comes as SMIC posted a better-than-expected quarterly profit, attributed to robust demand for Huawei smartphones powered by components made by the chipmaker.
