Recently, qualcomm patent prosecution for violation of 3 g and 4 g communication of meizu are widespread in the industry, chip patent fee is a major cause of conflict between them.

Other provisions chip manufacturers, mobile phone manufacturers only need to pay 5% of the price of the chip to chip as a patent, and qualcomm to charge mobile phone manufacturers machine price of 5% as a royalty. In this way, a $3000 smartphone qualcomm can reap huge profits of $150. Although after antitrust investigation in China, qualcomm will chip for the "65" discount, but it is still in the whole machine prices as a standard, cost is still high.

Chip import dependence on big policy for IC industry

Chip is a kind of electronic components, and can be referred to as the integrated circuit or semiconductor, the electronic information industry economic and national security has a huge role.

Is big chip consumption in our country, however local chip can only meet 20% of the market, the domestic IT industry most chip need to be imported from abroad, China's IC industry is weak, needs to be improved.

Therefore, in recent years our country policy frequent good IC industry, "core" began to home.

2014, our country issued the national integrated circuit industry development to promote outline, at the same time, set up the national integrated circuit industry investment fund (that is, the big fund), in 2015, the 2025 key areas technology roadmap "made in China will be included in the list of key development industry, integrated circuit industry recently, the ministry of finance issued on software and integrated circuit industry enterprise income tax preferential policies about the problem.

IC market open industry is growing rapidly

Under the policy of good, quickly open the IC market in China, industry scale and continuous development.

The industrial chain, integrated circuit industry is on the middle and lower reaches of the three links. Upstream is chip design link, our country has haisi, spreadtrum company; Middle is manufacturing, smic, zhenhua technology is representative; The downstream is encapsulation testing link, our country has long telegram technology, hua tian science and technology, etc.

Industry clusters, have our country Yangtze river delta, bohai sea, the pearl river delta three major IC industry gathering area, the three regional integrated circuit industry sales revenue accounts for more than 90% of the whole industry scale.

In the global market, China chip made a buck the development achievements.

The global IC market downturn of 2015, the market sales were $335.2 billion, down 0.2% year-on-year, smartphone growth to slow down, and the PC market is the main reason. Although China has also been the two factors interference, but China's integrated circuit the size of the market in 2015 is still maintained a fast growth.

High notice meizu chip China's integrated circuit to improve

IC market in China in 2013 sales of about 916.6 billion yuan, up 7.1% from a year earlier. 2014 sales topped one trillion yuan, 1.03931 trillion yuan, up 13.4%; 2015 IC sales of 1.1024 trillion yuan, up 6.1% from a year earlier.

The scale and the technical bottleneck IC industry trend prediction

Compared with the integrated circuit industry abroad, China's integrated circuit industry still exist small scale, the core technology is not strong. Therefore, industry further development need to expand the scale, improve the technology.

The author thinks that, internal integration, foreign mergers and acquisitions is the integrated circuit industry scale, improve the core technology of "shortcut", in the future these two phenomena will become a mainstream industry development.

In September 2014, national organization multiple enterprises set up a national integrated circuit industry investment fund, began to actively help domestic enterprises to invest the merger activities. The end of December 2014, with the help of the industrial investment fund, long telegram technology and temasek deal, announced a $780 million bid for the world's fourth largest chip testing vendors Singapore branch chippac full ownership, this is the current domestic integrated circuit enterprises out of the most heavily.

This year the main rhythm of industry development in the integrated circuit will still be mergers and reorganization, and would be a breakthrough in quantity and amount. Brewing at present overseas acquisition will not less than 2015 years, there may be several quite big mergers and acquisitions. In addition to overseas mergers and acquisitions, internal integration is the direction for future development of the industry as well.
