China's semiconductor association released statistics, the mainland has surpassed Taiwan IC design output last quarter, in the first half of the total 68.55 billion yuan, year increased by 24.6%, back to Taiwan, the threat to Taiwan IC design industry.

According to China's semiconductor association statistics, China season 2 IC products generate 40.16 billion yuan, more than t $169.7 billion of Taiwan; In the first half of the total is about $314.9 billion nt in Taiwan.

As for mainland products generate in semiconductor manufacturing industry, the first half of 45.48 billion yuan, the year increased by 14.8%; Testing industry products generate 70.88 billion yuan, the annual increase of 9.5%. Taiwan is currently in the two remained the leading edge.

But China has 10 12-inch wafer plant construction, even Taiwan's TSMC and umc and Rio crystal to factories, expected in the related amount of new factory in producing, manufacturing, testing industry for more than two Taiwan is sooner or later.

Again according to Chinese customs statistics, China imported semiconductor devices during the first half of 1005.9 million dollars, than the same period last year dropped 2.3%, after also seems to see ascension self-making ratio, the relevant import decline in semiconductor amount; Semiconductor exports amount is $29.6 billion, up 2.8% than the same period last year.

Released from these Numbers, seems to have seen the mainland to foster progress in semiconductor industry is quite fast, dominated by mainland authorities set up China's integrated circuit industry development fund, continued investment in recent years, semiconductor, local efforts to foster semiconductor production chain.
