Huawei keep advancing your plans for become independent from the rest of the world in the construction and manufacture of their own products. The United States imposed a veto on Huawei, making it difficult to access certain technology, such as 5G, which its latest phones now lack. But Huawei has among its plans building a local supply chainwhere now in addition see in UDNwhat has patented an EUV scanner for the manufacture of chips below 7 nanometers.
In this way Huawei could build your own chips using one of the most advanced Extreme Ultra Violet processes, which is already available from large manufacturers such as Intel. Thus, China would have machinery for the manufacture of more advanced nodes despite the prohibition of the United States to distribute by the manufacturers of this equipment, machinery for the manufacture of wafers with a process below 7 nanometers to China.
But for the moment Huawei has patents to be able to build this machinery, something that is not easy given the large number of components that are needed. This does not mean that Huawei is going to have its own machines in the short termbut if they reveal the intentions of the company to continue advancing independently in building its own supply chain that can avoid the obstacles posed by the United States.

I am a Computer Engineer and my specialty is automation and robotics. My passion for hardware began at the age of 14 when I gutted my first computer: a 386 DX 40 with 4MB of RAM and a 210MB hard drive. I continue to give free rein to my passion in the technical articles that I write at Geeknetic. I spend most of my free time playing video games, contemporary and retro, on the 20+ consoles I own, as well as my PC.
