10 EUV lithography machines will be introduced, but TSMC has begun to "cut the beard"! As we all know, due to the suppression of Huawei by the United States, Huawei cannot obtain the export license of the US side for chips, and with the help of the American enterprise TSMC, we also achieved the export license of an EUV lithography machine equipment to Huawei in May this year. For us, it takes a lot of money to achieve the export of 10 EUV lithography machine equipment. To this end, Huawei also planned to build a factory in the United States for EUV lithography machine equipment.

However, due to restrictions on the part of the United States, this plan can only remain on paper. Just recently, it was reported that the mainland has begun to plan to introduce 10 EUV lithography machine equipment. The value of these 10 EUV lithography machine equipment is as high as 1.4 billion yuan, for such a huge amount of money, we also hope to solve the problem of mainland chip manufacturing by introducing EUV lithography machine. But from TSMC's side, our 10 sets of EUV lithography machine equipment have begun to prepare for import. It is reported that TSMC has begun the plan to "cut off" Huawei's 10 EUV lithography machine equipment.
Microprocessor chips. Chips like this are used as the CPU, the central processing unit of the computer.
The reason why TSMC will make a "cut-off" move on Huawei's series of chip manufacturing plans is mainly because TSMC needs to achieve breakthroughs in 7 nm, 5 nm and 3 nm chip manufacturing processes through chip design companies, thereby helping TSMC further expand its wafer foundry business. In order to allow itself to enter the 7 nm and 5 nm chip manufacturing process faster, TSMC will not only provide customers with relevant technologies for the production of EUV lithography machine equipment, but also give more preferential solutions. Of course, as an enterprise specializing in manufacturing wafer foundries, TSMC has always been in the leading position in technology. And even TSMC, which is in a leading position in production technology, has no intention of buying EUV lithography machine equipment from Huawei, and this is undoubtedly a big blow to the United States. As a continent that has been working hard to develop chip manufacturing processes, it is indeed very difficult to solve the problems currently facing the continent in chip manufacturing by purchasing EUV lithography machine equipment.

Not long ago, it was reported that one of Huawei's HiSilicon chips has been successfully applied to the 5 nm process, which is undoubtedly a big blow to the United States. However, for Huawei, it is indeed very difficult to solve the chip manufacturing problems currently facing the mainland in a short period of time. Because for us, it is not an easy task to solve the chip manufacturing problem in a short time. After all, for the mainland, the biggest challenge at present is still in the manufacturing process. Although at this stage, the mainland has made considerable breakthroughs in 5 nm, 3 nm and 2 nm processes.

However, breakthroughs in 7 nm, 5 nm, and 3 nm processes are still very difficult. And just recently, there was another good news from the mainland. According to media reports, the mainland's Shanghai Microelectronics has successfully broken through a key technology in the 5 nm chip manufacturing process. The success of this technology also means that Continental will have more breakthroughs in the 5 nm chip manufacturing process. However, 7 nm and 3 nm integrated circuits need to be prepared before a breakthrough can be achieved.

From the perspective of the development trend of our country, it is not easy to complete the breakthrough of 7 nm and 3 nm processes in a short time. Therefore, it is very difficult to overcome 7 nm and 3 nm processes in a short time. Although our country's chip manufacturing enterprises have made a lot of progress, it is still very difficult to break through the 7/3/2 nm process in a short period of time. Therefore, at present, it is also difficult for our country to solve the problem of chip manufacturing in a short period of time. For our country, if we want to solve the problem of chip manufacturing in a short period of time, we need to start from other aspects.
Old electronic chips and components
From the perspective of domestic science and technology enterprises, many enterprises with very strong research and development strength in the mainland have begun to develop chips. This time, China Electronics Technology Group won the second phase of the National Fund "chip manufacturing and advanced packaging technology" project, and will also provide 100 billion yuan of support for chip design enterprises within 5 years. And this time, the achievements of our country are enough to prove that the country has begun to achieve good results in chip manufacturing. And because of the participation of domestic technology companies, it also provides a lot of guarantee for the mainland to overcome chip manufacturing problems in a short period of time. Judging from the current achievements of the mainland, it is not easy to solve the chip manufacturing problem in a short period of time.
