Gizchina News of the week
Huawei’s own semiconductor manufacturing facility to begin operations in 2022
After the entry into force of last year’s US sanctions, the Chinese giant Huawei lost access to TSMC’s production facilities, but at the same time, the leaders of the first company have to hear promises to retain the HiSilicon development staff. Sources say that in Wuhan by 2022, an enterprise will begin operating, where Huawei will independently produce components for network equipment.
The relevant information was distributed on Friday by DigiTimes , but most of it was available only to subscribers. In the presentation of Sparrows News this material appears a bit more detail. For Huawei Technologies, the Wuhan facility will be the first where the company can process silicon wafers in-house. Until now, third-party manufacturers were doing this function.
As the source explains, the Wuhan enterprise will initially produce digital signal processors for communication equipment in fiber-optic data transmission networks. This type of product does not require modern lithography, which makes the task somewhat easier for Huawei. The Chinese company has had a research center in Wuhan for several years that has been developing telecommunications technology, HiSilicon processors and lidars for vehicle autopilot systems. It is possible that from next year this center will work closely with the new Huawei venture.
