Necessity is the Mother of Invention: Huawei Replaces Moore’s Law With Her’s Law

We now know what China’s been working on to counter U.S. sanctions on EUV technology. The post Necessity is the Mother of Invention: Huawei Replaces Moore’s Law With Her’s Law appeared first on EE Times .

Why this matters
Why now

This news emerges as US sanctions on advanced semiconductor technology spurred China to innovate alternative methods for chip manufacturing, particularly through advanced packaging.

Why it’s important

A strategic reader should care as this indicates China's ability to circumvent US technological restrictions, potentially creating an independent and competitive semiconductor supply chain.

What changes

The previous assumption that US control over EUV technology was an insurmountable barrier for China's leading-edge chip production is now challenged by their advancements in 3D stacking and hybrid bonding.

Winners
  • · Huawei
  • · Chinese semiconductor industry
  • · Advanced packaging companies
Losers
  • · US semiconductor equipment manufacturers (EUV)
  • · Companies relying on traditional lithography paradigms
Second-order effects
Direct

China will likely accelerate its indigenous semiconductor production capabilities, reducing reliance on Western technology.

Second

This could lead to a bifurcation of the global semiconductor supply chain, with distinct Western and Chinese ecosystems.

Third

Increased domestic competition might drive down costs for advanced chips within China, fostering innovation in other technology sectors there.
