Following with the factory of the world's third largest storage meguiar's and the world's second largest testing contract opportunity of silicon products, thunis group (Tsinghua Unigroup) turned to south Korean small and medium sized semiconductor company. According to south Korean chosun ilbo reported, South Korea semiconductor company focus on chip design of plant such as Silicon Mitus, Map and Zinitix, etc., have recently with thunis merger and acquisition negotiations.

Silicon Mitus was founded in 2007, specializes in power management IC, annual turnover of 100 billion Korean won. The Map is by the analog IC factory fast Semiconductor (Fairchild Semiconductor) founded by former employees, specializing in wireless charging chip, the products are mainly exported to China and the United States. As for Zinitix is NFC chip developers. According to the report, due to the domestic market saturation, the profits of producers of several south Korean chip design is declining in recent years. Samsung and hynix is two south Korean semiconductor companies, major research and development of memory chips and have their own factories.

$2015 in 2015, thunis tried to merger and acquisition, the world's third-largest micron memory factory, because the us government to stop did not succeed. In addition, thunis silicon in the form of capital increase in private case, as a result of regulatory issues such as withdrawn at the end of April this year. May be complex because of the large companies mergers and acquisitions condition, makes thunis change strategy, from small businesses to begin.

Last month, thunis has acquired the wuhan new core is more than 50% of the shares, and set up a "wuhan Yangtze river storage technology co., LTD.", the existing 12 inches in wuhan new core advanced integrated circuit technology research and development and production capacity, on the basis of the current Internet business continues to expand the wuhan new core layout, and focus on the development of large-scale storage. The purple light also bought laidi 6% stake, to buy again the semiconductor company.

The purple light group chairman wei-guo zhao want to continue making the company could match the world-class chip giant Intel, and established a $30 billion investment plan. Believe that mergers and acquisitions haven't stop the footsteps, who after all, today.
