[Financial Channel/Comprehensive Report] Chinese companies are under siege by the US ban, Huawei (Huawei) is blocked from obtaining high-end technology, and Chinese technology companies are eager to localize their supply chains.

Huawei said on Friday (24th) that it has completed the localization of electronic design automation (EDA) software tools above 14nm.

Chinese media Caijing reported on Friday that Xu Zhijun, Huawei's rotating chairman, said on February 28 that the company has completed the localization of EDA software tools above 14nm and will complete testing this year.

At the same time, Huawei has developed 78 tools related to chip hardware and software.

Although the 14nm process is several generations behind the most advanced 3nm process, it is a major breakthrough for China's EDA industry.

According to reports, chip design companies use EDA software to mass-produce design blueprints of previously fabricated chips in fabs.

Xu Zhijun said that Huawei will allow partners and customers to use the software.

Although China has a handful of EDA software manufacturers, experts believe they are not globally competitive.

The global EDA software market is mainly dominated by three companies: Cadence and Synopsys in the United States and Mentor Graphics in Germany.

In 2020, the United States officially imposed sanctions on Huawei. Huawei's chip design department cannot obtain software and technology updates from the above three companies, so it cannot design low-node processors for its smartphones, and cannot obtain advanced chip manufacturing tools. Huawei's wisdom Sales of smartphones fell as a result.
