China is making advanced memory chips without the world's best tools
Original: China is making advanced memory chips without the world’s best tools
China is producing advanced memory chips despite lacking access to the most advanced chipmaking equipment, according to a report by Interesting Engineering. The development suggests Chinese manufacturers are finding workarounds to export controls that restrict the sale of top-tier lithography tools to the country. The report highlights the resilience of China's domestic semiconductor program and renewed attention on how far its chip industry has progressed under technology sanctions.
Why now: Ongoing US export controls on advanced chipmaking equipment have made China's progress in semiconductors a closely watched story.
