It is impossible to produce chips below 10 nm. Can it be compensated in design and is it feasible?

Not feasible. The key for China's chips to fall behind the advanced level in the world is the low design capability. The so-called "10 nm" is only a problem of production equipment and can be purchased. After purchasing the most advanced equipment, you can still keep ahead for a while, and the design ability is a human problem. Without top-level design ability, money and courage alone can't help the world. The so-called design compensation is a joke. Not only can it not be made up, but the gap will get bigger and bigger.

At present, Chinese people don't really understand the level of domestic chips, but just listen to the deceptive argument. China's so-called chip design is just the application of EDA software, and EDA is actually a collection of basic Loki circuits with various functions and programs connected with production equipment designed by western chip experts. We just put forward the basic Luigi circuits we need and then combine them according to our own ideas. Strictly speaking, we are not design, but application. For real design, we are still a layman.

China's legendary Holland didn't sell us high-precision mask aligner, but whitewashed its own chip circuit. The fact is not that you don't sell it, but that it's useless if you buy it. A device with a price of hundreds of millions is sold to a company with design ability to create greater value, which is better than letting you waste it. This is the reputation and responsibility of the company.

Ordinary people are ordinary people because their thoughts and behaviors lag behind the elite. I think some time ago, the legendary "cloud phone makes up for the lack of backward chips" and "chip design makes up for the lack of chip production equipment" were removed together. In fact, the west has left you far behind in the server. What ordinary people think of as "chip design" is actually the same as the west. People should do things in a down-to-earth manner, and don't always think about opportunism and overtaking in corners.

Think too much, except for mobile phones, other electronic devices don't need 10 nanometer precision chips.

Nothing is impossible as long as Huawei is optimized. The flagship of p 10 a few years ago was to mix low-grade flash memories and optimize them into high-grade installed machines. However, don't question this scary technology, otherwise. ...

It is feasible to compensate by design, such as 14nm process adopted by ibm's latest generation cpu, but its sram density exceeds TSMC's 5nm process, which requires research on soi and other technologies.

This road is feasible in theory, but it is not certain in practice. The design of 7nm was changed to 14nm machine, and the result was that the chip was too big and the heat output soared. Trying to make up for the low input-output ratio in design, just like in the past, there were eight people in the car with five people, and the number of people in the car and on the road did increase. The so-called design optimization means that the car will run normally without changing the spatial power of the car, so it is necessary to find a safe downhill road that others can't find when there is no problem with the car and people. The process of finding a way is to screen all the forks that can reach the finish line. Unless you have been possessed by the European emperor, you can't afford the time and cost.

It should work.

Technical defect design supplement.

The improvement of chip performance by design is much higher than that by process.
