Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation

SMIC was founded on April 3, 2000, and is headquartered in Shanghai. It was incorporated in the Cayman Islands as a limited liability company. It quickly built a fully-owned plant in Shanghai, acquired a Motorola plant in Tianjin, and then began to build a fully-owned plant in Beijing. SMIC also became involved in two projects in Chengdu and Wuhan, which reversed a common pattern in Chinese development of government building, operating, then transferring industrial projects, such that SMIC operated the company, but the capital costs were borne by municipal government, relieving SMIC of the major cost of its fab plants.{{cite web|url=https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Pages/item.aspx?num=36733|title=Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation: 'Reverse BOT'|website=Harvard Business School|access-date=2019-05-26|archive-date=2018-10-01|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181001123133/https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Pages/item.aspx?num=36733|url-status=live}} (published 01-2009)

In February 2024, the Financial Times reported that SMIC is on track to mass-produce logic chips equivalent in performance to the 5 nm process node later in 2024; additional reports speculated that the 5 nm chips will be manufactured via stockpiled ASML "deep ultra-violet" (DUV) immersion lithography machines. The new chips are expected to be produced at SMIC's new Shanghai production lines for lead customer HiSilicon (Huawei's chip designing arm). It is likely that SMIC's new 5 nm-node processors will be employed for AI-training and to power smartphones.{{Cite web |url=https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/semiconductors/chinas-smic-foundry-on-track-to-produce-5nm-smartphone-chips-for-huawei-this-year-report |title=China's chipmaker SMIC on track to produce sanctions-busting 5nm processors for Huawei this year: Report |date=6 February 2024 |last=Shilov |first=Anton |website=tom'sHARDWARE.com |access-date=15 February 2024 |archive-date=1 October 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241001013154/https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/semiconductors/chinas-smic-foundry-on-track-to-produce-5nm-smartphone-chips-for-huawei-this-year-report |url-status=live }}

According to a Chinese patent granted in late 2023 to a company working with Huawei Technologies, certain transistors and interconnects feature sizes seen on chips in the 5 nm-node can be obtained using DUV immersion machines and a technique called "self-aligned quadruple patterning" (SAQP).{{Cite web |url=https://news.bloomberglaw.com/tech-and-telecom-law/huawei-tests-brute-force-method-for-making-more-advanced-chips |title=Huawei Tests Brute-Force Method for Making More Advanced Chips |date=22 March 2024 |last1=Yuan |first1=Gao |last2=Wu |first2=Debby |website=BloombergLaw.com |access-date=28 March 2024 |archive-date=1 October 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241001013212/https://news.bloomberglaw.com/tech-and-telecom-law/huawei-tests-brute-force-method-for-making-more-advanced-chips |url-status=live }}
