Han Xing can specialize in technologies below 12nm in the future, while GlobalFoundries focuses on developing process nodes above 12nm.
At the same time, the two can also complement each other in the two routes of FinFET and FD-SOI. In the future, all industries that require chips in the Internet of Everything, automotive fields, and 5G fields will have great potential and technical capabilities.
"So I destroyed the factory where Korean stars develop the most high-end technology. Bangzi can't recover for a while, so I plan to dominate the mid-to-high-end market? When the factory is destroyed, will it still become a major advantage?"
I have to say that Bangzi's scheming is really disgusting.
The top end cannot recover for a while, but the monopoly of the mid-to-high-end market, as well as the stimulation of market panic, have greatly increased chip shipments and demand, which is simply a win-win situation.
Then there is the Israeli multi-aperture imaging technology provider CP
According to relevant information, Xia Guo’s mobile phone brand OPO is an important customer of CP, an Israeli multi-aperture imaging technology provider.
For more than two years, the camera technology CP has provided to OPPO is OPPO’s selling point. In addition, OPO's top management also plans to strive to sign a strategic licensing agreement with CP Company in 2018.
CP now has 10x hybrid optical zoom technology in its hands, which may make OPO quite competitive next year.
But all this will be intercepted by Korean stars!
If you take a quick look at the scarf forum, you will see that there are a lot of comments on the Internet.
"Damn it, are Korean stars so rich? The total acquisition cost is about one billion US dollars."
"A billion dollars? Korean Star Electronics' 2016 performance, net profit of 7.09 trillion won, is about more than six billion US dollars. In 2017, the price of memory has increased again, and the price of mobile phone parts has also increased. Korean Star Electronics may earn tens of billions U.S. dollars, and it is also a subsidiary of the Korean Star Group..."
"Nima, you are indeed the number one chaebol in Koryo! This is too scary!"
"You guys are boasting all this and haven't seen it yet. What does Korean Star want to do? If it occupies the high ground of wafer production, it will be in an invincible position. Even the chips used in mobile phones are all cut from wafers. "
"Upstairs, if you tell me, if Han Xing Electronics also buys a company that develops camera optical zoom technology, wouldn't it mean that the chips, screens, cameras, and memory of the mobile phones we use next year will all be taken care of by Samsung?"
Gu Qing looked at the arguments that appeared from time to time among netizens and sighed in his heart.
Korean stars are really awesome.
And the more I read through Xuanwu's information, the more I felt that Bangzi's move was really cruel.
The supply of semiconductor production in Daxia is far less than the demand.
In 2016, Daxia's wafer manufacturing capacity accounted for only 10.8% of the world's total, while its consumer market accounted for 33% of the world's. According to the supply and demand situation in 2016, Daxia can produce 756K 12-inch wafers per month in 2016, but the actual demand is 1061K wafers, and the monthly supply and demand gap reaches 305K wafers. That is, an increase of 40% on the current production capacity is needed to meet current demand.
Up to now, Daxia currently has 11 mass-produced 12-inch manufacturing lines, with a cumulative 12-inch design production capacity of 540K per month; Daxia currently has 18 mass-produced 8-inch wafer manufacturing lines, with a cumulative 8-inch production capacity of 671K, a total of approximately The 12-inch equivalent production capacity is 840K. In actual production, calculated based on a capacity utilization rate of 90%, the actual output is approximately 756K.
Among them, in 2016, the total 12-inch design production capacity of local wafer foundry manufacturers Xiaxin Technology, Huali Micro, and Wuhan Xinxin was 160K, while the actual output was 134K. The total design capacity of 8-inch is 446K, while the actual output is 430K. Daxia’s domestic foundry production capacity totals approximately 350K of 12-inch equivalent production capacity.
What's more important is that Daxia's wafer production capacity is mainly dominated by foreign-funded foundries, and domestic-funded foundry companies have relatively little production capacity.
After reading each report, Gu Qing closed his eyes and thought.
"So at present, international semiconductor technology is approaching the critical point of Moore's Law, and the speed of technological update is slowing down. If domestic enterprises in Daxia seize the opportunity and make full use of favorable policies and other favorable environments, they can achieve technological catch-up.
Taking 18-inch wafer production as an example, due to the comprehensive adjustment of overall equipment and production lines, industry progress has been slow over the years, and global production capacity is still dominated by 12-inch. It is expected that this trend will continue until 2019, and 18-inch wafers It is expected that mass production will not be achieved before 2020.
So with the technology I have mastered, it is possible to take a bite of fat? ! "
Although it is a bit troublesome and the stakes are huge, when the qualifications of a confidential unit are obtained, will there be ruthless people in the country grinning?
If he dares, the iron fist of the country and the iron fist of Jiuzhou Technology Company will dare to teach him how to behave.
However, the preparations made ahead must be accelerated.
A call was made, and Zhang Yuanfeng, who was still busy in a foreign country, received the order.
[Recruit the people on the list as soon as possible. 】
This is something that can only be achieved after the number of installed users of Boundary Monument exceeds one billion. Each user is an information providing point and data processing point, building a data model, analyzing potential talents and the talents that have just been demonstrated, with a success rate of more than 90%. .
One word from the boss can cause his subordinates to run out of steam.
But thinking about the small amount of money he would get at the end of the year, Zhang Yuanfeng cheered up and continued to rush to the next location.
On December 23, Korean Star and GF held a joint press conference.
The content of the meeting was very simple. Korean Star invested in the acquisition of GlobalFoundries.
In the first step, Hanxing Electronics will take over GLOBALFOUNDRIES' production base in Singapore within two months, including an 8-inch wafer fab and a 12-inch wafer fab.
And GlobalFoundries is located in the United States: the FAB8 factory in New York State, which was put into production in 2012, has started 14nm advanced process production; in June 2015, it acquired the IBM microelectronics department and acquired the 8-inch wafer factory FAB9 and the 12-inch wafer factory FAB10. FAB9 and FAB10 were acquired It is certified by the US military industry and is the main RF production factory of GLOBALFOUNDRIES.
Korean stars act very wealthy, and GLOBALFOUNDRIES also acts very "sincere," just like a business like you give me money and I provide services.
When Gu Qing saw the news, his thoughts were swirling in his mind.
GlobalFoundries is the only remaining US-owned foundry and is TSMC’s biggest competitor in Ryukyu Province. After Korean Star, which also possesses high-end technology, opens its wafer foundry business, its acquisition of GlobalFoundries will immediately pose a threat to TSMC. As for this acquisition that was completed so quickly, there is no doubt that the first decision-making power lies in the hands of the U.S. government.
This is not the acquisition of GlobalFoundries, the world's second-largest company, by Korean celebrities. This is clearly a case of American bosses exchanging their left hand for their right hand, and by the way reaping a wave of Korea's national wealth.
After all, foreign capital led by the United States accounts for the majority of Korean Star Group's shares, especially preferred shares, which account for nearly 90%, although these foreign capital only enjoy dividends.
The Lee family owns 2% of the equity of Han Xing Group and firmly controls the entire Han Xing Group through a rather complex equity structure.
Korean stars give 98% of their profits to American Capital. This behavior is like a dog that takes the initiative to bite the rope and let its owner lead it.
Disgusting, really disgusting.
