SMIC N+3 Confirmed: Kirin 9030 Analysis Reveals How Close SMIC Is to 5nm

TechInsights has completed an exploratory teardown and process analysis of the Huawei Kirin 9030 application processor used in the new Mate 80 Pro Max. Our structural and dimensional analysis confirms that the chip is manufactured using SMIC’s N+3 process, a scaled evolution of its 7nm-class technology, and a key indicator of how close SMIC is to achieving a true 5nm-equivalent node without EUV lithography.
