According to the institute of evaluation report, global semiconductor market growth slows, the size of the market last year about $335 billion, slightly contracted on the previous year. Maintain a twenty percent market share of North America, Asia Pacific (excluding day This) also maintain thirty percent, European, Japanese, although each at ten percent, but share began to decline. Relative to this, the mainland market share is rising year by year, share close to thirty percent last year, as the largest single market.

Taiwan semiconductor testing capacity beyond China, wafer foundry will catch up, will be its complete semiconductor IC design industry chain upstream and downstream layout the final piece of the puzzle. Assessment to Taiwan factory advantage with only two years.

Last week, TSMC factory based in nanjing, chang from across the sea, on both sides of the integrated circuit industry should be mutually beneficial cooperation. It is not chang to cross-strait cooperation in the IC industry for the first time; TSMC in early June when the shareholders' committee, he called for local to invest in Taiwan IC design industry, should be welcome, but to prevent local infiltration of the board of directors and management team.

North America for computer and mobile phone brand is numerous, IC design market has been preempted by Intel, qualcomm, AMD and NVIDIA companies, Europe for international depot powerhouse, automotive IC high proportion, Japan with Toshiba, in the area of storage will be meguiar's merger, dhaka, image sensor field also has a Sony.
