我觉得可能性非常非常小,telegraph 可能是小媒体,报道不严谨。除非得到中芯国际的证实,所有的分析都只能根据得到的数据进行推测。以Techinsights在业界的声誉,除非它看到了solid evidence, 我觉得它不会用concluded这么肯定的语气说中芯国际用了EUV
TechInsights Finds SMIC 7nm (N+2) in Huawei Mate 60 Pro | TechInsights
TechInsights, the semiconductor industry's leading information platform, conducted an analysis of the Huawei Mate 60 Pro smartphone and uncovered groundbreaking evidence of SMIC's 7nm (N+2) technology, marking a significant milestone in China's domestic design and manufacturing capabilities.www.techinsights.com

TechInsights Finds SMIC 7nm (N+2) in Huawei Mate 60 Pro
TechInsights, the authoritative information platform of the semiconductor industry, analyzed the new Huawei Mate 60 Pro smartphone in the last 24 hours. The Mate 60 Pro was expected to include a 5G application processor and SoC (system-on-chip) from HiSilicon, the Kirin 9000s.

The team found evidence of SMIC 7nm (N+2) which represents a made-in-China design and manufacturing milestone for the most advanced Chinese foundry TechInsights has documented. Some of the highlights include:
“Discovering a Kirin chip using SMIC’s 7nm (N+2) foundry process in the new Huawei Mate 60 Pro smartphone demonstrates the technical progress China’s semiconductor industry has been able to make without EUV lithography tools,” said Dan Hutcheson, Vice Chair of TechInsights. “The difficulty of this achievement also shows the resilience of the country’s chip technological ability. At the same time, it is a great geopolitical challenge to the countries who have sought to restrict its access to critical manufacturing technologies. The result may likely be even greater restrictions than what exist today.”
- The Kirin 9000s die measured 107 mm2, which is 2% larger than the Kirin 9000 (105 mm2). From various identifying features on the die, the team concluded the processor is manufactured by SMIC.
- Initial lab results indicated that this die is more advanced than SMIC’s 14nm process node but presents larger critical dimensions (CDs) than what TechInsights has observed for 5nm process.
- Additional measurements of critical dimensions (CDs) on the die, including logic gate pitch, fin pitch and lower back-end-of-line (BEOL) metallization pitches, the analyst team concluded the die has 7nm features.
“This also reinforces TechInsights commitment to speed and quality of analyzing critical industry advancements,” said Gavin Carter, CEO, TechInsights. “The TechInsights team moved at a lightning pace to ensure we can bring this insight to the market using our Ottawa, Canada based industry-leading laboratory and highly technical engineering team this type of deep dive analysis.”
美国目标是控制16nm以下制程,显然7nm远超了,可能美国要出台更严厉措施
