China’s Yangtze Memory Technologies Co. has made progress in replacing foreign chipmaking technology with homegrown alternatives and its latest storage products now rival global market leaders, according to new research from TechInsights.
The memory maker, one of a number of semiconductor companies subject to US trade sanctions designed to rein in China’s tech advances, is working with gear from Advanced Micro-Fabrication Equipment Inc. China, Naura Technology Group Co. and Piotech Inc., TechInsights analyst David Wei said in an interview. While the company still needs and relies on equipment from Dutch supplier ASML Holding NV and US-based Lam Research Corp., those domestic tools providers are taking up a larger share of the burden.
