China's top chip maker has likely gained the ability to produce seven-nanometre chips, according to a Canadian tech analysis firm, marking a significant breakthrough towards technological self-sufficiency to counter US sanctions, reports Hong Kong's South China Morning Post.
Researchers at TechInsights made the conclusion after they reverse-engineered a sample chip made by Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp (SMIC), extracted from a cryptocurrency mining machine.
Analysts and industry professionals believe it is technically possible for SMIC to produce 7nm chips with existing deep ultraviolet (DUV) systems, under the leadership of co-CEO Liang Mong Song, a chip-making expert who was previously an executive at industry-leading Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.
