The wafer foundry, UMC yesterday announced, 8-inch plant in Chiba, Japan Tateyama, UMC Japan will be dissolved and liquidated. This action coincided with disintegrating of Japan's semiconductor industry.For UMC ,UMC Japan did not bring much benefit, but still helped UMC win several orders from the Japanese giant. With Japan IDM factory directly orders from Taiwan, UMC Japan can be considered to have served its purpose. Japan's semiconductor plant has been to adhere IDM plant's operating mode in the past 20 years , it is because Japan's semiconductor plants are invested by Sony, Panasonic, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi and other Japanese large-scale systems industry, second is because Japan's semiconductor plant's technology and products are mostly provided for the system operators. However, in the last 10 years, the global deployment of the system plant in Japan is out of focus, the semiconductor plant repeatedly acquisitions, including NEC, Mitsubishi, Hitachi, and other memory undertakings merge as Elpida, Hitachi, Mitsubishi also logic IC business merger as Renesas, Renesas merged semiconductor industry of NEC. Japan 311 earthquake hit the Japanese semiconductor production chain, to spread the risks, international system works migrate the order to other countries such as Taiwan and South Korea suppliers, orders of course, is gone forever. In addition, the debt problem was halted, the yen is an international currency, hot money pushing up the yen to the increase appreciation again to hit the Japanese semiconductor factory, not only at the beginning of the year, Elpida announced bankruptcy reorganization, Renesas financial crisis, Fuji would like to sell the plant .Semiconductor plants in Japan are no longer competitive, local industry ecosystem falls apart ,after the disintegration of the entire industry, outsourcing to release order become the best way to reduce costs, so IDM factories in Japan this year continues to consolidate its own capacity, and constantly Committee foreign orders, semiconductor plant in Taiwan is the greatest beneficiary. |
