Beijing’s efforts to build its own chipmaking tools may be paying off as global competition in the sector heats up
China is set to deliver its first domestically developed e-beam lithography tool for commercial use, advancing its chipmaking capabilities and taking a step forward in the race for technological advancement.
Named Xizhi after the famed ancient Chinese calligrapher Wang Xizhi, the new machine was developed by a quantum technology lab at Zhejiang University in Hangzhou. It uses a focused electron beam to “write” chip circuits onto silicon wafers.
