China Embracing Domestic Ion Implantation Machines after $321 Million Chip Orders Cancelled.
Welcome to VOC - Vision of China! In this video, we delve into the ongoing technological competition between China and the United States, focusing on the impact of U.S. restrictions on Chinese chips. As China’s technology advances, the U.S. has imposed increasingly stringent measures in the past two years, including export restrictions and lobbying for cutting-edge lithography. These restrictions have had a significant impact on both Chinese and American companies.
Data shows a substantial decrease in Chinese chip imports, sending a clear signal of the inevitable cancellation of chip orders from U.S. companies. China is strategically reducing its reliance on chip imports to improve its position in the global semiconductor market and highlight the detrimental effects of import restrictions. Notably, China’s countermeasures have proven effective, as companies like Qualcomm and Intel have sought export licenses over time.
Furthermore, we explore China’s achievement in achieving full coverage of ion implantation equipment for the 28nm process, a critical milestone for the country’s IC manufacturing industry. This accomplishment ensures the industrial security of China’s IC manufacturing by developing comprehensive ion implantation machine products.
China, like many other countries, is pursuing autonomy in the semiconductor industry. This pursuit is driven by a global trend of establishing technological barriers and achieving self-sufficiency. Despite facing technology blockades and suppression, Chinese companies and researchers have made remarkable progress in the chip field, exploring new research directions and technological pathways.
We also discuss the significance of China’s largest chip foundry, SMIC, and its achievements in mass production of 14nm process chips and 12-inch wafers, which have greatly supported China’s chip industry growth.
China’s proactive measures to counter the U.S. technology embargo aim to achieve autonomy and strengthen its position in the global semiconductor industry chain. By reducing import dependence, promoting industry chain autonomy, and engaging in international cooperation, China is forging its own path in the semiconductor field. As an important player and promoter of the global semiconductor industry, China is poised to play an increasingly crucial role and contribute significantly to scientific, technological, and economic progress worldwide.
Join us in exploring the dynamic landscape of the global semiconductor industry and witness China’s remarkable advancements and determination to overcome challenges and achieve self-sufficiency.
