TechInsights Finds SMIC 7nm (N+2) in Huawei Mate 60 Pro

2023 年 9 月 4 日 TechInsights

TechInsights, the authoritative information platform of the semiconductor industry, analyzed the new Huawei Mate 60 Pro smartphone in the last 24 hours. The Mate 60 Pro was expected to include a 5G application processor and SoC (system-on-chip) from HiSilicon, the Kirin 9000s.
半导体行业权威信息平台 TechInsights 在过去 24 小时内对新款华为 Mate 60 Pro 智能手机进行了分析。Mate 60 Pro 预计将采用海思的 5G 应用处理器和 SoC(片上系统)——麒麟 9000s。

The team found evidence of SMIC 7nm (N+2) which represents a made-in-China design and manufacturing milestone for the most advanced Chinese foundry TechInsights has documented. Some of the highlights include:
团队发现了中芯国际 7 纳米(N+2)的证据,这代表着中国制造的设计和制造里程碑,是 TechInsights 所记录的最先进的中国代工厂。其中一些亮点包括

  • The Kirin 9000s die measured 107 mm2, which is 2% larger than the Kirin 9000 (105 mm2). From various identifying features on the die, the team concluded the processor is manufactured by SMIC.
    麒麟 9000s 芯片的尺寸为 107 毫米 2 ,比麒麟 9000(105 毫米 2 )大 2%。根据芯片上的各种识别特征,研究小组得出结论:该处理器由中芯国际制造。
  • Initial lab results indicated that this die is more advanced than SMIC’s 14nm process node but presents larger critical dimensions (CDs) than what TechInsights has observed for 5nm process.
    初步实验室结果表明,这种芯片比中芯国际的 14 纳米工艺节点更先进,但临界尺寸(CD)比 TechInsights 观察到的 5 纳米工艺更大。
  • Additional measurements of critical dimensions (CDs) on the die, including logic gate pitch, fin pitch and lower back-end-of-line (BEOL) metallization pitches, the analyst team concluded the die has 7nm features.
    分析小组对该芯片的关键尺寸(CD)(包括逻辑门间距、鳍片间距和较低的后端线(BEOL)金属化间距)进行了额外测量,得出的结论是该芯片具有 7 纳米的特征。

“Discovering a Kirin chip using SMIC’s 7nm (N+2) foundry process in the new Huawei Mate 60 Pro smartphone demonstrates the technical progress China’s semiconductor industry has been able to make without EUV lithography tools,” said Dan Hutcheson, Vice Chair of TechInsights. “The difficulty of this achievement also shows the resilience of the country’s chip technological ability. At the same time, it is a great geopolitical challenge to the countries who have sought to restrict its access to critical manufacturing technologies. The result may likely be even greater restrictions than what exist today.”
"在新款华为Mate 60 Pro智能手机中发现采用中芯国际7纳米(N+2)代工工艺的麒麟芯片,表明了中国半导体行业在没有EUV光刻工具的情况下所取得的技术进步,"TechInsights副主席丹-胡奇逊(Dan Hutcheson)说。"这一成就的难度也显示了中国芯片技术能力的韧性。同时,这也是对那些试图限制其获得关键制造技术的国家的巨大地缘政治挑战。其结果很可能是比现在更大的限制"。

“This also reinforces TechInsights commitment to speed and quality of analyzing critical industry advancements,” said Gavin Carter, CEO, TechInsights. “The TechInsights team moved at a lightning pace to ensure we can bring this insight to the market using our Ottawa, Canada based industry-leading laboratory and highly technical engineering team this type of deep dive analysis.”
"TechInsights 首席执行官加文-卡特(Gavin Carter)说:"这也加强了 TechInsights 对分析关键行业进展的速度和质量的承诺。"TechInsights团队以迅雷不及掩耳之势,利用我们位于加拿大渥太华的行业领先实验室和高技术工程团队,确保我们能够为市场带来这种深入分析。
