TAIPEI -- Huawei Technologies aims to restart making cutting-edge mobile chips as early as this year, even as the U.S. and its allies further restrict China's access to key tools and tech used to churn out semiconductors.

Huawei, a onetime smartphone powerhouse, is working with top Chinese chipmaker Semiconductor Manufacturing International Co. (SMIC) to put its in-house designed 5G mobile chipset into mass production in the coming months, two people with knowledge of the matter told Nikkei Asia. Huawei has been unable to make cutting-edge mobile chips since Washington cut off the company's access to key American technology and vital global suppliers in 2020.

SMIC has likewise been on a U.S. trade blacklist since late 2020 over alleged ties to the Chinese military, which it denies.


If Huawei succeeds in getting its mobile chips back into production, it would mark a major win for China. Beijing has spent years and millions of dollars attempting to develop a complete domestic chip industry to counter Washington's clampdown on Huawei and other Chinese tech companies, which includes sweeping export controls introduced last October. In a further blow to China's chip ambitions, Japan and the Netherlands recently joined the U.S. in introducing export restrictions on advanced semiconductor equipment.

To make Huawei's chips, SMIC will use 7-nanometer process technology, the most advanced available in China. This is still about two generations behind chips made for global leaders, however, with Apple's iPhone mobile processor produced by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) using 4-nm and 3-nm technology. And while Huawei's chips may go into production this year, devices built with them are unlikely to hit stores until 2024.

Like Apple, Huawei was once one of TSMC's top clients and an early adopter of its latest production technologies before the U.S. further tightened export control rules against the company in 2020.

Amid the clampdown, Huawei's rotating chairman Eric Xu has said the company will support all efforts by the Chinese chip industry to become self-reliant. Nikkei Asia earlier reported that Huawei is working with multiple partners across China to build chip production and chip packaging plants.

SMIC has also been striving to become self-reliant. Co-CEO Liang Mong-Song, a former executive with TSMC and Samsung Electronics, heads the company's research and development. SMIC has already successfully demonstrated the production of 7-nm chips, according to a TechInsights analysis in 2022 of a cryptocurrency mining chip made with China's Bitmain Technologies.

Nanometer size refers to the linewidth between transistors on a chip. The smaller the number, the more advanced and powerful a chip is. TSMC and Samsung are now racing to mass-produce 3-nm chips.

Donnie Teng, an analyst with Nomura Securities, said that if Huawei can put its own chip designs into production, it will have less need to buy from Qualcomm, the only chip developer so far that has received U.S. licenses to ship 4G mobile chips to the Chinese company.

"However, the production yield [quality] for a 7-nm node is believed to be quite low, at about 50%, and it still has lots of room for improvement," Teng said. "The chip being available and the chip being commercially ready are different things. ... It's still worth monitoring how it goes, but we understand Huawei is willing to invest a lot on this to bring back its chips."

Teng added that SMIC could face difficulties in expanding capacity for advanced chip production due to the various export controls in place.

Huawei was once the world's second-biggest smartphone maker, trailing only Samsung in shipments. Last year, however, it had a global market share of only about 2%, mostly in China, Canalys data showed, compared to its peak of 17.6% in 2019.

"Chips are essential for all of Huawei's businesses, from consumer electronics to its cloud computing and telecom business," said Ivan Lam, an analyst with Counterpoint. "It needs to spend so much more money, but Huawei knows it must restore its chip supplies, even if they are not as advanced as the ones it could source from the leading global supply chain."

Huawei and SMIC declined to comment.

这个如果是真的，那就是我鳖半导体全产业链建成了。
现有产业链是我帝的设计，我帝日本荷兰的设备，台韩的制造。
我鳖这产业链一旦开始竞争，中低端芯片就会崩盘，像Broadcom，marvell之类十年内应该会消失了。
没中低端的海量营收，我帝领导的全产业链玩不下去，最后只能退守高端，然后全面陷落。

症屁说说，如果这是真的，我帝还不投降，就没意思了吧？
那就只能逼着我鳖把人均核武器提高到我帝水平了。我帝可能成为第一个输不起灭亡的文明了吧？

[tang21]

这话我同意，那美帝干的事就是在以一己之力阻碍生产力的发展了？
阻挡地球文明的前进了？那肯定没好结果啊。

要维持老大地位，搞国家阶层固化
玩不过要改规则，就这么简单

我觉得不是。我觉得还是中芯国际来造。中芯国际因为也被制裁，反正制裁了，造也是制裁不造也是制裁，所以就造了。
