The project is based in the Valley Center of Wuhan Optics, with a gross development area of 208,900 square metres. Building material includes FAB manufacturing facility, CUB power station, PMD tech factory This is the main R&D base for Huawei in the central region of China, responsible for the internal optical capacity centre of Huawei, the smart terminal R&D centre and other cutting-edge technology. After the project is completed, it will be put into production as Huawei’s chipset factory in China, helping Huawei achieve a complete semiconductor industrial chain from chip design, chip manufacturing, to packaging and testing. While the chipset plant has been set up, it will be hard to play forts competitors . Next year, Huawei will begin manufacturing 45nm chips and will advance to 28nm chipsets by 2022. It is no where near the arrival of 5 nm chipsets powering the luxury smartphone. The development comes after the u.s. government put sanctions on Huawei and barred the firm from buying chipsets or other US-made technology. With the delivery of required parts ceased, Huawei agreed to concentrate on being self-reliant to keep the company afloat.
