Korean and Japanese manufacturers will pose a huge threat to China's Taiwan chip industry

From China's Taiwan IC industry sources said, the current Samsung, Japan's Fujitsu Corporation in the advanced treatment process on the chip manufacturing business, pose a huge threat to China's chip manufacturing industry in Taiwan.

The source said that Samsung's competitive strategy in the chip business, has threatened to include TSMC (TSMC) and UMC (United States), including a number of local chip manufacturers in Taiwan. In Taiwan, many of the generation of chip industry and commerce among them, due to the relatively high share of the service provided by TSMC, South Korea, Japan, the potential market competition chip manufacturers on the impact of TSMC will be the largest.

Since Samsung Electronics to get a large number of orders from the mobile phone chip market, its low energy consumption of 65 nanometer chip processing technology is considered to be a major breakthrough in the current chip manufacturing industry, the market outlook is very promising. Rely on this technology, Samsung Electronics as a leading integrated component manufacturers in South Korea, a steady access to a large number of chip business from Qualcomm Corp. Prior to this, for TSMC and any company, Qualcomm Corp are their most important customers.

Japan's rapid progress in the field of research and development in the field of chip manufacturing, has mastered 65 nanometer processing technology, and contact the customer, is expected to be launched soon after the chip based on the technology. In addition, Fujitsu Corporation is also developing 45 nanometer chip processing technology, is expected to be put into commercial production by 2008.

At present, TSMC 24% of its revenue from 90 nanotechnology production line, and there are 16% UMC income by 90 nanometer chip technology. According to the statistics agency IC semiconductor Insights data show that in 2005 the world's top 20 semiconductor manufacturing company, in addition to TSMC and UMC outside the company, no other company is engaged in a semiconductor single chip manufacturing business.
