An analysis of China’s semiconductor technology shows it is just three years behind Taiwan Semiconductor Mfg. Co. Ltd. (NYSE:TSM).
What Happened: The report highlights the limited impact of U.S. export restrictions on China’s consumer chip production. Hiroharu Shimizu, CEO of TechanaLye, shared insights with Nikkei, showing that China’s chip capabilities are rapidly advancing.
Shimizu presented semiconductor circuit diagrams from two Huawei Technologies smartphones: the Pura 70 Pro, released in April, and a 2021 model. The latest phone’s chip, Kirin 9010, was designed by HiSilicon and mass-produced by Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. (SMIC).
Despite U.S. measures to curb advanced chip technology, SMIC can produce 7-nanometer chips. These chips are nearly comparable in performance to TSMC’s 5-nanometer chips, which were used in Huawei’s 2021 phone.
SMIC’s 7-nm chip is 118.4 square millimeters, while TSMC’s 5-nm chip is 107.8 sq. mm. Both chips have similar …
