A tipster on the Chinese social media site Weibo claims that Huawei has already mass-produced 12nm-14nm chips to be used for wearables.
) about Huawei making preparations to mass produce chips using 12nm and 14nm process nodes, it still doesn't make sense.
Actually, the tip doesn't mention the name of the foundry that will manufacture the components but does say that the initial mass production of the 12nm and 14nm chips is basically ready. It has already been used inside the company and while 12nm-14nm chips will not help Huawei in the smartphone market, the tipster writes that they could be used to power wearable devices.The tipster adds that eventually Huawei will be able to access its own high-end chips but it won't happen in 2023.
Only one company makes the EUV machine and that is a Dutch firm called ASML which has been following U.S. requests not to sell them to China. But Huawei has created some components that are different enough from ASML's patents to warrant awarding a patent to the beleaguered Huawei. And if it can create its own EUV technology, it will open up a whole new world for the company. It could result in SMIC being able to match TSMC and Samsung Foundry nanometer for nanometer.
Huawei has its own semiconductor design unit, HiSilicon. Huawei's Kirin branded chips were at one time considered to be as good as the silicon designed by Apple and Qualcomm. Huawei's goal is to return to those good old days.Get the most important news, reviews and deals in mobile tech delivered straight to your inbox
