    You do sound like a Chinese thief. If your neighbor’s Apple seed was patented or had a contract restricting your use of his seeds then your neighbor has rights, thieves don’t care about patents or contracts. But in Huawei’s case, even your apple pie used his recipe and his packaging. So your neighbor was kind to you for not suing you to stop selling his apple pie recipes. Only reason your neighbor doesn’t sue you in China is because Chinese judges like stealing technologies from other country and dismiss all IP theft cases against Chinese. I do understand it is hard to conceptualize what IP theft is coming from third world country with Bronze Age technology, but being stubborn about theft was taught to be unwise and punishable act by a confused sage 2500 years ago. Just because Chinese government says IP theft from foreign country is patriotic acts doesn’t make it so.

    They didn't have a breakthrough and this is pure propaganda. It won't be known about until the phone is dissected. We don't know who made the chips. The Chinese GOVT. announced this phone when the US secretary of state was there. HUAWEI DIDN'T announce it before it launched. Huawei has NEVER made anything original. They've stolen everything from Samsung or Apple or CISCO or Google or a handful of other companies. IF by chance a fab in China made these chips, very unlikely regardless of who says what, they made it using old tech. But it was already KNOWN one Chinese fab can do this. What they CAN'T do is make 7nm with a low defect rate, so it would typically be restricted to military applications because it won't be profitable to sell, but since the Chinese govt. is behind Huawei they'll subsidize it. China is the largest propaganda machine in the world.

    There IS no good way to get to the transistor density of the likes of Samsung 7N, Intel 7, or TSMC N7 without EUV. There are only unprofitable ways. This is still the case. SMIC has been able to make something they SAY is equivalent (once again these are names) to the other companies' products they attach a "7" to and they have similar transistor densities, with their LOW DENSITY library, which is also important to understand and he didn't cover I don't think. There are different types of transistors that can be produced, and you can have the same transistor be in a low density and high density library. The name of the libraries should be self explanatory. If you clock something above a certain speed then the transistor would most likely come from the low density library and clocking something slow means it can be in a high density library. This is all part of the specs of a process node. It is almost certainly the case that SMIC can make something about the same as the other companies' low density library set for what they call their 7nm node, but they would have to use it for slower clock speed use cases, like a smart phone where clock speeds are much slower than a desktop or laptop computer with desktop being faster. You could also use it for AI training and many other use cases where you don't need the speed of a data server or desktop computer. Since Huawei is controlled by the CCP regardless of their lies (this phone launched without any warning, on the day the U.S. Secretary of Commerce arrived and was advertised on THAT day mostly with CCP members and one or two celebrities that use Apple phones, kind of laughable really), the CCP will subsidize it so even though it's not profitable to make a 7nm node without EUV using the same techniques ICs have been made for a few decades now, it will be made to look like they've done something great. But this has been the CCP's operating procedure for about 15 years now and has led to many noticeable failures. Make it look like they can do something great but the quality is always sub par.

    I suppose the main question here is whether Huawei's chiplet tech is able to produce results such that the lack of EUV ceases to become an insurmountable problem. I don't know how the physics will work out, but their engineers are clever, their motivation to bypass sanctions strong, and the resources they have to invest virtually unlimited. If the laws of physics allow for it, they're going to get results. Honestly, I wonder if the prohibitive cost (300 million US per machine) makes EUV all it's cracked up to be.

I would have guessed using DUV SAQD but there are rumors they benefited from some early EUV elements. China has close to 100 1980Dxi’s with a domesticated part supply. Another rumor is SMEE will deliver its own DUV machine by year end that is equivalent to the 2000Di. The yield on the Kirin 9000s is now thought to be at least 80% if not 90% - if you FIB enough of them you can get statistics on CD and overlay. You need to adjust your timeline for “China speed”.

Kudos to SMIC for making it economically feasible for their latest phone. .But this depends on DUV which, after 1/1/2024 will no longer be available per ASML. I suppose China will have to either manufacture their own DUV lithography or another process to come up with high performance chips.

    ChatGPT, Bard, OpenAI or any others can give you better non-biased information than Asianometry. The information here are easy to understand but stained with slight CCP propaganda. Asianometry make it seems like evil America is controlling all corporations to punish hardworking China, but Japan, South Korea, Netherlands, England, Australia, France, Germany are all agreeing with America on China policy. That is why ASML, SK Hynix, Lam, SVG, Google, etc can not do business with China on some strategic equipments and materials. Australia reported another spying scheme by Huawei last month. Most technology journalists don’t report these because of CCP retaliation. Even Google doesn’t allow anti China KZreadrs to be monetized in many democratic countries due to CCP retaliation to their countries.

    I would be very surprised if EUV gets to the point where it can obviate the need for 193i litho on current and future nodes. The best way that EUV is being used currently is to reduce the number of masks needed in the densest, most complex patterns. Intel detailed that use in their VLSI paper on Intel 4, where they noted that without EUV, Intel 4 would have required ~30% more masks than Intel 7. However with EUV, it requires ~20% fewer masks than Intel 7. So at Intel 4, that's a 50% mask count savings by using EUV. Of course, the limiting factor is the power of the EUV laser, and while ASML is working hard to increase the power of the laser, as you've covered in previous videos, but I still have my doubts regarding how much they'll be able to increase the power of the laser given how intricate their process of shooting a tin droplets 50000 times per second is. And with EUV, it seems to always be a trade-off between stochastic defects and throughput. Increase the exposure time and you'll decrease the stochastic defects, but your throughput will tank. Or do the opposite. Even as the EUV source increases in power, between the potential for increased mirror count (with the current count of 11, ~98% of the EUV light is absorbed before it even hits the wafer...) and the potential for a required increase in dose due to future nodes requiring tighter features, I can imagine a future where throughput barely (if ever) increases due to all the factors working against it. That said, I have very little knowledge depth in the field overall, so maybe there are big changes in the works to increase uptime, increase power, and increase reflection or the like to dramatically increase throughput.

    Very interesting! From your previous videos, we know it's possible to use multimasking techniques for DUV lithography to get to these nodes. So SMIC has brute force the process then. And it seems they still have the license to use the software for silicon layout. But they are then restricted to the current Arm cores and cannot get the latest core architecture. Question is performance wise, can they keep up even if they can go down to 5nm.

Oh, I think I just answered my own question. That surface the gates are sitting on is actually NOT the wafer surface (i.e. not a semiconducting layer), it's actually an insulation layer (whether dioxide, PSG, or whatever), which means the interconnects are buried/hidden underneath that insulation layer, which is why the interconnects are not visible?

All of the relevant companies involved are already sanctioned backwards, forwards, and sideways by the US government. And I have a highly unpopular opinion: IP in any technology that is "strategic" is already worthless. ASML is toast, because the USA decided their tech was strategic and forced them to not sell. So China has every incentive to tell their companies to copy or beat the tech, and the Chinese Government itself will have their back. ASML and Qualcomm can both be told to go pound sand. The USA will have about as much luck pushing this as they would have had suing the Soviet Union (or China for that matter) for "stealing" nuclear weapons tech. Physics is physics, and China can and is throwing more money and people at the problem than the West can collectively put together, so its over.

No official confirmation. It creates a lot of buzz last week. Let's see how it plays out in coming days. If it is really 5nm, that means China is ON PAR with Western chip technology. The so called 3nm chip that Apple claims to use for iPhone 15 is only using 3nm technology for a small portion of the chip. 5nm chip is the really leading-edge production at scale.

    The insidiousness of thinking NO ONE can do it without you or that they need your permission to do something. Trying to block others from succeeding and then getting shocked when, against all odds, they succeed on their own, without any need of your help and in fact, despite your best efforts to make them fail… That in every day life we call a HATER!

    China has such a strong electronics industry, it will be interesting to see how far they can go "in-house". Perhaps exports out of China would be challenged by trade barriers and intellectual property challenges. Regardless, international tech businesses may lose their share in the Chinese market.

    I think it will become increasingly more and more difficult for the U.S. to justify its racist sanctions because we tolerated their "national defense" angle because okay whatever, but if they keep trying to block China outside their own country after China has proven that they can and will overcome U.S. sanctions, it becomes undeniable that the U.S. just doesn't want China to succeed which becomes morally untenable for anyone with a conscience to justify. Like how is the U.S. going to justify blocking other countries from buying SMIC products for example? They can't because it's stupid and I hope countries justifiable laugh in their faces.

    iPhone 15, 20w super fast charge, buy the cables and connectors separately, 60hz screen brush, 3nm, no one has tested and disassembled it yet, the starting price is over 1,000 US dollars for 256g, there is no innovation except digital changes and price changes. Huawei mate60pro, Kirin 7nm chip, measured close to 5nm, has satellite phone function. Satellite phones on the market start at least 1,000 US dollars, 100x optical zoom, you can freely make calls and take photos in the water, 88w super fast charge, 120hz high refresh rate , can crack walnuts, and the price is less than 1,000 US dollars for 256g.
