Huawei and SMIC used US tech to make Chinese 'super chip'
 

Bans do not appear to be working

Insiders have revealed that Huawei and its partner Semiconductor Manufacturing International cheated to produce an advanced chip in China last year using US technology.

.Sources told Bloomberg that the Shanghai-based SMIC used California-based Applied Materials and Lam Research machines to make an advanced 7-nanometer chip for Huawei in 2023.

It appears that China still can't make its parts and equipment for cutting-edge products like semiconductors and is desperate to become self-reliant in technology. Huawei's efforts to boost domestic chip design and making have received Beijing's support.
