Chips for Huawei will produce TSMC SMIC instead, with the loss of kachestvena Blinkova | 16.04.2020
Huawei is gradually moving chip production from Taiwan, where TSMC operates the company, in mainland China the company SMIC (Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp),
escaping from the constant pressure of the American authorities.
So, we will remind, the chip manufacturers that use American equipment, you will need to obtain a license in order to put a chip of Huawei. This rule will be in full
as applicable to TSMC.
The restrictions of the United States against Huawei can serve as a stimulus for Chinese companies to accelerate the development of domestic technologies.
It is noted that HiSilicon, a unit for the production of chips, Huawei began to focus on the SMIC, TSMC and not at the end of 2019. It is noted that previously Huawei
tried to work only with manufacturers of the first line, but now the company is ready to increase cooperation and assist the SMIC, which has always been subtle on the market.
In addition, it is reported that Huawei is studying South Korean manufacturers taiwanica other enterprises in addition to TSMC, as well as companies in mainland China as alternative
chip supplier. While SMIC is the main alternative to TSMC, although experts say that this company is much less advanced factories in technological equipment: if TSMC has been working for
according to the process of 5 nm, the SMIC is just 14 nm. Currently, American authorities are already taking measures in order to prevent contact with SMIC in modern American equipment
the production of chips.
Thus for TSMC’s happening — little joy: the share of Huawei in sales, TSMC is 13-16%.
