I only have a bachelors in EE, but I can try to answer basic questions on the technologies discussed in the PDF of this interview.

A more controversial question were the reasons for Shaing Yi-Chaing to accept an employment offer from SMIC, and what were his reasons for leaving?

Shaing Yi-Chaing and Liang Mong-Song have some serious beef from the past and they disagreed about SMIC’s direction. Liang made SMIC choose and SMIC chose Liang.

I certainly don't know enough of the politics of what happened to judge any side of the SMIC question.

Shaing Yi-Chaing's accomplishments in copper interconnects alone deserve awe; he was ahead of IBM, and he did it on instinct/"the school of hard knocks."

Read his interview.
