I recently learned that research in recent years, the pattern of the global semiconductor chip industry is undergoing profound changes, showing a division of labor, capital-intensive, alliances and other new trends in research and development, and international giants monopoly significantly increased and there are "cured" situation. Presents three major trends in the semiconductor chip industry .I research learned that from a global point of view, continued technological advances in semiconductor chips and related fields to promote the sustained and rapid development of modern information and communication industry, which itself has developed into a contained design, manufacturing, testing and other major components of the package, with annual sales of $ 300 billion of huge industrial group, currently showing a division of labor, capital-intensive, R & D alliances and other three trends. First, the integrated circuit industry specialization trend is very clear. Experts pointed out that the most important mode of the integrated circuit industry changes that evolved from the integrated development of the dominant mode for the current pattern of specialization and cooperation. Promote the formation of this pattern, technological progress and changes in the competitive landscape. With previous Intel, Samsung and other companies design, manufacture, packaging and other downstream in one development model is different now integrated circuit industry specialization is getting smaller, there have been many are specialized in IC design, packaging, testing enterprises. Secondly, capital-intensive, high investment funds has become an important part of the conditions of contract manufacturing. Governed by Moore's Law, chip complexity and technology has improved continuously. The current global chip manufacturing production has reached 20 nanometer process technology, with the technical level and increase the degree of processing complex process, the investment cost of the chip processing enterprises increased rapidly. Semiconductor Industry Association vice chairman Wei Shaojun said, now able to maintain investment in the construction of a breakeven advanced chip factory, needs at least $ 12 billion. In this case, the past by an enterprise integration patterns from design to manufacturing, gradually turned peel chip manufacturing assets, restructuring companies for the design, manufacture of integrated circuit production work entrusted to specialized IC foundries. It also demands the global IC foundry capacity dramatically improved, to TSMC, Globalfoundries, Semiconductor Manufacturing International (SMIC) and other specialized in IC foundry business, the company offers development opportunities, while Samsung, Intel and other chip has its own chip design capability and manufacturing capacity of the enterprise is also planning to undertake OEM tasks. Third, due to the high R & D expenses between some Western countries, research institutions formed a small coalition. Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences researcher Wu Nanjian pointed out that the most advanced technology will certainly not give our country, such as the formation of a Belgian research institute IMEC and IBM for the camp on behalf of the international research community for the development of new devices hold together for warmth, and the formation of sniper.
