Huawei Kirin 9000L chipset processed with Samsung’s 5nm EUV process technology: Report

It is reported that Huawei will launch its new so-called P50 flagship series in May this year. And following the footsteps of Samsung, Huawei’s semiconductor unit HiSilicon could introduce its new chipset, Kirin 9000L ahead of its upcoming smartphones.

Meanwhile, it looks like the Korean tech giant helped the US banned Huawei in the development of its next chipset. According to the information, the design of the Kirin 9000L processor is similar to its predecessor – Kirin 9000E and Kirin 9000 but it is reportedly processed with Samsung’s 5nm EUV process technology.

It is worth mentioning that Samsung had previously cooperated with Japanese and European firms to build a small production line using non-US equipment, but the company never responded publicly because the US govt has increased restrictions on American technology components in high-tech industries.

Back in April 2019, Samsung introduced its 5nm FinFET process technology that delivers up to a 25 percent increase in logic area efficiency with 10 percent higher performance or 20 percent lower power consumption to enable more innovative standard cell architecture.

Apart from the power performance area (PPA) improvements from 7nm to 5nm, customers can fully leverage the company’s most advanced EUV technology. The 5nm process technology uses EUV lithography in metal layer patterning and reduces mask layers while providing better fidelity, similar to its predecessor.

Lastly, it is unclear whether Huawei has the right to print its chip design through Samsung or not. We’ll keep you posted whenever any new information comes on this matter. Stay tuned!
