2023: Transistor concept introduced for 3nm processor development
In December 2023, it became known that the Chinese company ChangXin Memory Technologies made a technological breakthrough in the field of semiconductors, introducing the concept of a transistor necessary for the development of a 3-nanometer processor.
CXMT did not provide samples of this component, so we can conclude that the product will not be produced very soon - production requires special equipment, which is not available in China now. However, certain conclusions can be drawn now, wrote "Rybar."
First, the scientific work of CXMT shows that Chinese companies are catching up with semiconductor market leaders, for example, Samsung - the company launched mass production of such transistors in 2022. It was believed that manufacturers from the PRC lag behind other industry representatives by several generations.
Secondly, the study and development of the transistor requires American technologies, which are under export restrictions. USA This means that established trade barriers do not work as intended.
