EE Times-China survey indicates rapid advancement in mainland China's fabless industryWith use of 28nm or below process technologies for digital ICs quadrupling YOY

IC leaders discussed trends at industry event in Tianjin as winners of 2014 China IC Design Awards were revealed

TIANJIN, China, Nov. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- EE Times-China, a leading electronic engineering title of Global Sources' (NASDAQ: GSOL) joint venture subsidiary, eMedia Asia Limited, has revealed the results of its 13th annual China IC Design Survey and seventh IC Design Awards. Survey findings show marked improvement in the fabless industry's design capability: 29 percent of respondent companies utilize cutting-edge 28nm or below process technologies for digital IC designs, more than quadrupling from 7 percent in 2013. For analog and mixed-signal ICs, the use of sophisticated 0.18μm or below technologies has also increased substantially to 51 and 60 percent, respectively (2013: 44 and 43 percent, respectively).

Brandon Smith, Publisher of EE Times-China, said: "The semiconductor industry is a strategic sector supported by the Chinese government, and we have seen continual growth in the scale of local fabless companies. In this year's Survey, 34 percent reported annual sales of more than US$50 million, a welcomed increase from 22 percent last year. The average workforce has also substantially expanded from 194 to 263, and the number of IC designers from 109 to 160. While the typical fabless still lags behind the world's top players in scale, the leading mainland China IC design companies already see annual sales of more thanUS$1 billion."

As part of the Survey, winners of the 2014 China IC Design Awards were selected through online voting by local system design engineers, as well as by fabless companies participating in the Survey and EE Times-China analysts. The awards winners were announced at a dinner in Tianjin on Nov. 21, where the Surveyresults were unveiled to more than 150 executives from the semiconductor industry. Jin Donghu, Vice Director of People's Government of Tianjin Binhai New Area and Wang Xuejia, Director of Development and Reform Bureau, Administrative Commission of Tianjin Economic Technological Development Area delivered speeches at the event and Ma Xuan, Vice Secretary-General of Tianjin IC Industry Association / Chief Engineer of Tianjin TEDA Science & Technology Development Group as one of the awards presenters.

The China IC Leader Summit was held to coincide with the award presentation, and the stellar speaker lineup included:

  • Marshal Cheng, Vice President, Leadcore Technology
  • Zhu Yiming,CEO and President, GigaDevice
  • Zhou Zhengyu, CEO, Actions Semiconductor
  • Zhang Fan, President, Goodix
They discussed the future mainland China chips for smartphones, smart devices driven by the mobile Internet, biometrics and sensor technologies, as well as the ecosystem for IoT and smart home.

Smartphones and smart devices to drive IC development

Consumer electronics remains the main applications of mainland China-designed ICs, led by tablet PCs, mobile phones and set-top-boxes, although its share has dropped to 47 percent this year from 60 percent in 2013. For computer applications, the ratio of desktop and notebook computers has dropped, and 16 percent of respondents supply ICs for small-scale servers, which is a new option in this year's survey.

The ratio of telecommunication applications, such as wireless network and base station equipment, has risen significantly from 10 percent in 2013 to 19 percent this year. This growth is driven by the issuance of 4G licenses in mainland China and the related construction of nearly a million 4G base stations. Base station equipment was a newly added option last year, and its ratio rises considerably to 17 percent this year (2013: 6 percent).

EE Times-China analysts expect smartphones and smart devices to continue to drive the local IC design industry, due to the presence of numerous manufacturers in mainland China.

As for the use of foundries, the dominance of TSMC and SMIC has greatly increased, with companies using them accounting for 40 percent and 32 percent, respectively (2013: both at 24 percent). This could be because local fabless companies are more inclined to choose sophisticated foundries to avoid the problem of inadequate capacity.

Cost becomes the biggest challenge when IC design companies contract foundries, although fewer state it as a major challenge this year (2014: 45 percent, 2013: 54 percent).

Alongside the jump in company size, the proportion of IC design engineers in China's fabless companies has also grown. Conversely, the average number of projects has dropped from 8.5 last year to seven this year. This is caused by increasing design difficulty, faster time-to-market and rising tapeout costs, and reflects the technology-intensive nature of the IC design industry as well as the desire for first pass silicon success. "We expect fabless companies will increasingly reuse design, purchase third-party IP as well as outsource design in the future," Smith added.

Already, more respondents indicate "insufficient IP library" as a major challenge this year (34 percent, up from 28 percent in 2013) when working with foundries. And as many as 86 percent of IC design companies use IP cores, increasing from 73 percent in 2013. As such, design iterations have become a much bigger challenge (rising to 22 percent this year from 4 percent in 2013).

Two challenges have also become more common this year: communication with foundry (increasing to 33 percent of respondents from last year's 24 percent) and incompatible process technology (from 13 percent in 2013 to 18 percent in 2014). Both are related to using more advanced process technologies.

The 2014 China IC Design Awards and China IC Leader Summit are sponsored by TEDA-Tianjin Economic and Technological Development Area, Synposys, Cadence, Silvaco, Actions Semiconductor, Huntersun, DIOO Microcircuits, Leadcore Technology, Mouser Electronics, VeriSilicon, and are supported by Global Sources' Chief Executive China.

China semiconductor investment fund reportedly targets Globalfoundries

Josephine Lien, Taipei; Steve Shen, DIGITIMES

Monday 31 August 2015

China's National Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund reportedly has targeted Globalfoundries for acquisition in order to allow China to secure 14nm FinFET foundry process technology in a fast manner, according to sources from Taiwan's semiconductor industry.

China-based Hua Capital Management, which manages the national semiconductor industry investment fund on behalf of the central government, has approached Globalfoundries for possible cooperation through an investment bank, said the sources.

Meanwhile, Abu Dhabi's Advanced Technology Investment (ATIC), a major shareholder of Globalfoundries, is said to have a willingness to release its holdings in Globalfoundries, a move which may accelerate the planned acquisition deal, the sources noted.

The acquisition of Globalfoundries would enable Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC), currently the largest wafer foundry house in China, to enter volume production of 14nm FinFET products much earlier than its original schedule, the sources indicated.

SMIC began volume production of 28nm chips in cooperation with Qualcomm recently and has signed an agreement with Qualcomm, IMEC and Huawei to develop 14nm process with volume production slated for 2020.

However, since Globalfoundries' 14nm process is licensed by Samsung Electronics, it is believed that Samsung is unlikely to agree to the acquisition bid from China, commented the sources.

Nov. 5, 2015 10:28 a.m. ET

BEIJING—Tsinghua Unigroup Ltd. plans to plow more than $12 billion into a new memory-chip plant and acquisitions of semiconductor companies, as the Chinese state-owned company continues a drive to build a globally competitive chip maker.

Months after an unsuccessful effort to acquire U.S. memory chip maker Micron Technology Inc., MU -5.33 % Tsinghua Unigroup will build a memory-chip factory and make further acquisitions through a newly acquired subsidiary, Tongfang Guoxin Electronics Co., according to a Tongfang Guoxin filing on the Shenzhen stock exchange Thursday. The plans are pending regulatory approval and it wasn’t immediately clear how Tsinghua Unigroup would acquire the intellectual property to manufacture memory chips, which it currently doesn’t make.

The investments will be Tsinghua Unigroup’s latest in a buying spree this year. They come as China’s leaders have made it a national priority to reduce the country’s dependence on Western technology and build domestic technology champions.

“The integrated circuit sector has obtained strong support from national policy,” said Tongfang Guoxin in the filing, in discussing its reasons for building the plant.

Guoxin” means “national microchip” in Chinese.

Tongfang Guoxin said in the filing that it will raise 80 billion yuan ($12.6 billion) in a private placement, with the overwhelming majority of the funds coming from Tsinghua Unigroup and an investment company controlled by Tsinghua Unigroup’s chairman Zhao Weiguo.

Tsinghua Unigroup, which isn’t listed, said on Monday that it would buy a controlling 36.4% stake in Tongfang Guoxin, a listed sister company in the same influential state-owned conglomerate Tsinghua Holdings Co. But Tsinghua Unigroup’s and Mr. Zhao’s combined share of Tongfang Guoxin will climb to around 88% after the private placement, just shy of the 90% threshold that would require delisting from the Shenzhen stock exchange, two people familiar with the deal said. The transaction consolidates two chipmaking rivals within Tsinghua Holdings.

Of the new funds, 60 billion yuan will go toward a new memory chip plant, and 16.2 billion yuan toward acquisitions “upstream and downstream in the microchip supply chain.” The remaining 3.8 billion yuan will go toward Tsinghua Unigroup’s purchase of a 25% stake in Taiwan’s Powertech Technology Inc., 6239 2.11 % which was announced last week.

Tsinghua Unigroup has been active as of late. In October, it hired Charles Kau, the former head of Taiwan memory chip maker Inotera MemoriesInc., 3474 -0.75 % a joint venture between Micron and Taiwan’s Nanya Technology Corp. 2408 -1.35 % The company struck a deal in September to buy a 15% stake in U.S. disk drive maker Western Digital Corp. WDC -1.02 %

PUBLISHED: 21:05 EST, 5 November 2015 | UPDATED: 21:05 EST, 5 November 2015

SHANGHAI/HONG KONG, Nov 6 (Reuters) - Chinese technology conglomerate Tsinghua Unigroup Ltd plans to invest 80 billion yuan ($12.6 billion) in building a new memory chip factory and making acquisitions, channelling the funds into a private placement by an affiliate announced late on Thursday.

Tongfang Guoxin Electronics Co said in a stock exchange statement that it would raise the funds in placement mostly funded by Tsinghua Unigroup and a firm controlled by the latter's chairman, Zhao Weiguo. Unlisted Tsinghua Unigroup bought 36 percent of Tongfang earlier this week.

Tsinghua Unigroup, controlled by Tsinghua University in Beijing which counts President Xi Jinping among its alumni, has spearheaded a global deal-making drive over the past year as China steps up efforts to build its own chip industry.

About 60 billion yuan will be used to build a new memory chip factory, while 16.2 billion yuan will be spent on upstream and downstream acquisitions in the chip industry. The remaining 3.79 billion yuan will fund the purchase of a stake in Taiwan's Powertech Technology, announced last week.

In September the firm announced plans to buy a 15 percent stake in U.S. data storage company Western Digital Corp, a deal that could draw regulatory scrutiny amid increased U.S. national security concerns.

In August, it made an informal $23 billion takeover offer for Micron Technology that was rejected out-of-hand by the Idaho-based chipmaker' s leadership.

Qualcomm Losing Ground Fast In China

November 5, 2015 - Written By Muni Perez


Things are not easy for Qualcomm, the American chip maker titan based in San Diego, CA. If we look back just 2 years ago, in 2013 Qualcomm had the incredible market share of 95% of all mobile processors, crushing even giant Intel. However, 2014 and 2015 have not been kind to the company, as last year its market share was down to 66% and this year numbers don’t look good either. For the years to come, Qualcomm will face bigger challenges as the competition is gearing up to battle, especially in the largest smartphone market in the world – China, where the company got half of its revenue for 2014.

Qualcomm’s problems are mainly thanks to MediaTek, the Taiwanese chipmaker that has been gaining ground in the past couple of years and this is where Qualcomm’s lost market share is going to. You have probably noticed that several high-end Chinese smartphones are coming with MediaTek’s Helios processor, such as the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Prime, the Meizu MX5 and the HTCs One M9+ and A9, and it means the Snapdragon is being slowly ditched. Earlier this year the company had another blow in their chest, as Samsung decided to ship the entire Galaxy line for 2015 with their own family of processors, the Exynos.

And there’s more: together with selling processors, the company also makes a lot of money by selling baseband chips for mobile devices – the cellular part of your smartphone. Qualcomm still holds 64% of this $4.7 billion market, but MediaTek is following it closely, as analysts expect the Taiwanese company market share to reach 40 to 45% in this business. Not everything is lost, though. Samsung is likely to bring back the Snapdragon SoC on their high-end Galaxy S7 for next year, and several other big names such as LG have chosen Qualcomm’s chips for their devices.

That said, it will be interesting to see how the market will heat up. As MediaTek is gearing up for entering the US and European markets, other chip makers are also working to get a slice of the pie. Huawei has recently announced their new Kirin 950 monster chipset, and Intel is also working hard to gain ground in the mobile world. While revenue and profits weren’t hurt yet, Qualcomm is shaking itself in order to face these new challenges. As a result, back in July, 15% of its workforce was cut out on a move to save $1.4 billion, while taking additional cost-cutting measures.

Working with MediaTek instead of Qualcomm just makes sense not only from economic, but also from geopolitical sense.

Greater dependency between the Straits is a way for smooth reunification.

Hey @Martian2 ,

Nice report, thanks a lot. I wanna ask you a question regarding SMIC. SMIC offers 40 nm and 28 nm die sizes for it's advanced logic solutions. However 28 nm is a stop gap, and there are limited designs for that die size. 32 nm was the industry standard for that generation. Yet still SMIC does not provide 32 nm solutions.

Do you have any information on when SMIC will start 32 nm technology, or if they will?

Thanks

Thanks bro, in my opinion as Mainland industrial base is more integrated with Taiwan tech, China can achieve competitive advantage in the semiconductor sector as observed in the LCD/LED sector, CNC sector. That's the direction policy makers have chosen, let's expedite the process.

Let both CN and PK grow together! :pakistan:
