Market research firm ,Gartner finally published results to show that in 2012, the global semiconductor foundry market reached $ 34.6 billion in 2011, representing a year-on-year increase of 16.2%. Gartner research's vice president ,Samuel Wang said in 2012, semiconductor sales revenue for mobile devices is over PCs and laptops, but also marks a state-of-the-art mobile application technology to promote the beginning of the era of foundry revenue, mainly foundries not only improve the yield of the 28-nanometer technology, there are many foundries fine-tuning of the the legacy node device performance. " Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) continues to sit tight in the top spot of the market, mainly due to the success of the company's advanced technology nodes. Significant increase in Dresden, Germany, fab 32-nm production and sub-45nm wafer production will enable Globalfoundries boarded the throne; United Microelectronics (UMC) market share declined, in the row third place, mainly by its wafer shipments to reduce drag. Apple A6 and A6X chip wafer consumption-led, Samsung increased by four, ranking fifth (year-on-year increase of 175.5% in 2012).The foundry business increase was mainly due to increase in inventory, as well as smart phones increased demand. In the second half of 2012, driven by the rapid rise of China and other emerging low-cost smartphone unexpected increase in demand for 40-nanometer wafer foundries outperformed the seasonal performance of the past. Those wafer capacity is sufficient and has state-of-the-art 40-nanometer and 28-nanometer production technology, wafer foundries to achieve a stable revenue growth. In addition to the state-of-the-art technology node shipments increased market share of more mature node changes: some foundries, 65 nm to 0.18 micron wafer shipments close to record highs, such wafer The products are mainly used for power management integrated circuit (PMIC), high voltage, embedded flash, complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors and micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS). Its market share increase was mainly due to the traditional process nodes arising from adjustments to equipment performance continuous improvement and cost savings.Most foundries,in 2012, the increase in revenue is from fabless customers, flat or even decline in the proportion of revenue contribution of the integrated device manufacturers (IDMs) customers, a sign that has become a fabless semiconductor company the main provider of mobile chips. |
