According to this article https://semiengineering.com/china-speeds-up-advanced-chip-development/ https://semiengineering.com/china-speeds-up-advanced-chip-de... they are into advanced chip development:
-SMIC is shipping 14nm finFETs, with a 7nm-like process in R&D.
-Yangtze Memory Technologies (YMTC) recently entered the 3D NAND market with a 64-layer device. A 128-layer technology is in R&D.
-ChangXin Memory Technology (CXMT) is shipping its first product, a 19nm DRAM line.
-China is expanding into compound semis, including gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC).
-China’s OSATs are developing more advanced packages.
- mytailorisrich 6y agoPeople should look at cellular. About 20 years ago China started developing its own 3G flavour as a way to develop its technology and to catch up. People were saying that they were quite far behind and that this might only sell in China (which it mostly did). But today we see the result of this long term investment with Chinese companies front and centre in cellular an 5G. I feel that chip manufacturing has shot up to an even higher priority for them now, so I'm thinking that the landscape may look very different from now in 20 years...
