According to reporter understanding, silicon industry investment co., LTD., Shanghai plans to acquire Soitec14.5 % of the shares. And with head told interface, Shanghai silicon industry really has committed to the group, but details haven't finalized, fastest specific results will be announced in June of this year or so.
The operation was a lot of people as "Chinese core" national team again.
Since 2014, chip industry development was increased to national strategic height, both local industry fund and national policy support, all is the escort industry development in different aspects.
In October 2014, under the guidance of the ministry, the ministry of finance, CDB capital co., LTD., China mobile communications corporation, Beijing purple light communication technology group co., LTD., China core competitive companies such as investment management co., LTD. Jointly set up 120 billion national IC industry investment fund (the great fund).
And the leading role of this transaction "Shanghai silicon industry", it is by "the fund" and Shanghai jiading industrial zone joint sponsor institutions such as, the registered capital is 2 billion yuan, is expected by the end of 2016, will reach 6 billion yuan of capital.
In fact since 2013, "Chinese core" on behalf of the enterprise is one of the purple light group has completed three consecutive international mergers and acquisitions and investment, involving enterprises including spreadtrum, RuiDi mature companies in the industry.
Fitting into the venture with the Shanghai silicon industry, is also hope fully from national integrated circuit foundation platform and the leading edge, through investment, mergers and acquisitions, innovation and development and international cooperation to improve the path of the silicon material industry comprehensive competitive capability.
By phase with is a design and production of innovative semiconductor materials of the world's leading enterprises, in the chip industry chain upstream, with its unique expertise in the field of semiconductor technology and service in electronic and energy markets. With with around 3600 patents worldwide, the core technology is the FD - SOI technology.
"FD - SOI technology can extend Moore's law, particularly well each generation of new product realization of lower power consumption, higher performance and lower cost, suitable for almost all of the smart devices on the market; the infrastructure and production use or on the basis of the traditional bulk silicon (si) used by plane, don't need a dramatic change in infrastructure, gives the foundries and equipment manufacturing enterprise production and the design time is shorter, listed faster." With digital electronic business department, senior vice President of Christophe Maleville accept interface news reporter interview said.
Christophe said, now the world's top four Foundries in samsung (Sumsung) and Romania DE (Global Foundries), two are already using FD - SOI technology, mainly used for the Internet of things networking, mobile communications, wearable equipment, car, etc.
Because "they adopt the technology of FD - SOI lower power consumption, less cost. Such as SONY is a new generation of smart watch of GPS, the best GPS products on the market at present about power consumption in 10 mw, and use the FD - SOI technology chip can reach 1 mw power consumption, power consumption reduced 10 times."
Therefore Christophe think, with leading experience in the field of semiconductor and FD - SOI substrate with owned technology can help China semiconductor industry achieve corner overtaking, on the phone, Internet, consumer electronics, apparel equipment realize chip cost, performance, application aspects, such as the best balance of energy consumption, improve their status in the international industry and technology.
Quick, low risk, large-scale deployment, is silicon industry investment co., LTD. And Shanghai with the cause of the rapid advance cooperation. According to Christophe, after the cooperation between China's IC design companies to Romania's and samsung's contract for use of FD SOI technology, at the same time with committed to China's massive USES this technology, if in the future how many wafers can be provided. "In addition to selling products cooperation in research and development and the ecosystem construction will also cooperate."
Under the current policy environment, Chinese manufacturers more aggressive, ambitious, Christophe think it's a good thing for the industry, to help China's semiconductor industry rapidly changing pattern of the global semiconductor industry.
"Contract, chip manufacturers in mainland China started relatively late, if you want to compete with South Korea, China Taiwan chip makers, we think the FD - SOI is the technology can change the whole competition. In the mainstream market of mobile phones, electronic products, automotive equipment, Internet and WiFi, FD - SOI technology can bring a lot to customer value." Christophe very bullish on FD - the benefits of SOI for Chinese manufacturers, he also wants to FD - SOI technology can became the standard chip in the application of mobile communication technology, and through the collaboration of FD - SOI technology applications in mobile chips become industry standard.
Chip industry in China in the next few years the development of Christophe says it is difficult to predict, but he thought that around 2020 to 2020, China's semiconductor industry will be the world's largest semiconductor market, especially the FD - SOI technology will have a very good development.
