The company said it produced 8-inch wafers and could cut manufacturing costs to about one-tenth of conventional methods. The announcement draws attention as export controls restrict China\'s access to advanced lithography equipment, though some analysts urged caution due to undisclosed yield, throughput and mass-production timelines.
