China’s advanced chip supply to surge by 2035 despite equipment bottlenecks, Goldman says

China is on track to dramatically slash its deficit in advanced chips over the next decade as domestic foundries rapidly scale up production, though the weak link of lithography threatens to keep full semiconductor independence out of reach, according to US investment bank Goldman Sachs. The supply of wafers made using 7-nanometre and below advanced processes is projected to grow at a compound annual rate of 46 per cent between 2025 and 2035, far outpacing the 17 per cent growth expected in...
