LiWei electronic mainland 12-inch fabs China benefit from mediatek, winbond, Beijing mega innovation (GigaDevice) such as large customer orders, including communications, NOR Flash chip supply capacity, not only has 12 inch factory production line full load, planning for the second 12 inch plant is expected to announced the launch of built before the end of the year, the new plant is expected to cut straight 28 nai metric, 2018 formally put into production, will be to nanjing factory TSMC and umc xiamen factory etc for huge 28 nai metric market business opportunities.
China semiconductor industry layout planning in positioning, smic is responsible for logic chip manufacturing, wuhan new core provoke NAND Flash independent research and development production, hua LiWei is appointed by the Shanghai government 12 inch factory production base, huahong hongli 8 "factory chip is deals with special type role, as for IC design field have haisi, spreadtrum is responsible for the processor products, huawei, HuaLan and have constant chuangyuan responsible for NAND Flash/SSD chip design.
Bullish on the mainland domestic demand market of dispute due to the global semiconductor companies, gradually to the mainland to set up 12 inch factory, including nanjing factory TSMC and umc factory in xiamen, Intel (Intel) dalian factory, Samsung Electronics, Samsung Electronics) xi 'an factory, Rio crystal hefei factory, such as higher-order logic layout, NAND Flash, DRAM, LCD driver IC products, etc. Self-making ratio under the policy, the government improve chip on the mainland in recent years, the mainland mainly fabs has full capacity, and gradually started the expansion plan, after smic, China LiWei will start 12 inches of new plant construction plan. LiWei 12 inch at present China factory can produce 35000 piece, after mediatek strategic alliances with major customers, including 55, 40 nanometers has been carrying capacity, the two sides are more common development and nanotechnology, and will become the core, the second production 28 nai metric cheng native semiconductor factory.
China LiWei is expected before the end of 2016 announced the launch of the construction of the second 12-inch factory, different from the first 12 inch factory locate in 55, 40 nanometers, and 28 nai metric, a new factory will be from 28 nai metric process, planning capacity is 40000 jump, is expected to begin in 2018, is located in pudong near Cambridge.
China LiWei will adopt double foundry parallel strategy logic, memory, and have mastered the key customers, has mediatek in logic product base band chip (baseband), wi-fi chips, low-order processor (AP), such as orders, in memory products has cut into the winbond and Gigadevice NOR Flash products supply chain, using 65 metric routine production.
LiWei in addition, China also bullish on the Internet of things (IoT) application opportunities, locking 40 and 55 metric process application, and the future will become a mainstream IoT needs 28 nanometer ultra low power process; China LiWei layout automotive electronics at the same time, watch the advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS) applications, now has entered the car alliance system safety certification program.
In 2018, in addition to the new factory started production LiWei second, TSMC nanjing factory will also from 16 nai metric into the production process, the and, in the absence of the 28 nai metric cheng also won't; As for umc factory in xiamen at the end of 2016 will be 55/40 nai metric production process, the industry speculated that will soon enter the 28 nai metric.
GobalFoundries though to Samsung (Samsung Electronics) authorized 14 nanotechnology, but in recent years also developed FD - SOI (Fully Depleted Silicon - on - Insular) technology, launched on the mainland 22 nanometers FD - SOI technology, push again to 12 nanometers FD - SOI technology, combined with Samsung also has 28 nanoscale FD - SOI technology, makes the FD - SOI technology in the mainland market gradually warming up.
