TSMC Zhang Zhongmou: semiconductor design patterns to take the mainland to Taiwan

TSMC chairman Zhang Zhongmou recently proposed the new thought of cooperation on both sides of the semiconductor industry, that mainland China should scale to expand the IC design industry, epitaxial wafer manufacturing to Taiwan, "Taiwan, design, manufacturing, in the semiconductor industry will create a win-win pattern. The Taiwan science and technology industry, the godfather of the new leadership thinking, a comprehensive subversion of the current electronic industry in Taiwan, China, Taiwan R & D, OEM model.

Zhang Zhongmou said that China is now the world's largest market, very suitable for the development of non epitaxial chip design industry; in fact, there have been hundreds of IC design company, but can then focus on the scale, because the IC design also requires economies of scale; as for the epitaxial wafer manufacturing, Taiwan has done very well, so in the semiconductor industry part, design, made in Taiwan, there will be a great space for cooperation.

Zhang Zhongmou suggested that, in the promotion of semiconductor industry practices, there are some changes in space, is the main environment changes, Taiwan area in the early RCA project was established in 1975, vigorously promote the semiconductor plan, but then pick the support of industrial policy to win, now should be to give up, because in the globalization, is not easy to select will win industry.

TSMC recently invited to visit the mainland media in Taiwan, held in addition to TSMC before the date of the interview ", also in TSMC's games, and Zhang Zhongmou had the first face-to-face contact; Zhang Zhongmou is in an interview with the media on both sides, the optimal model is proposed for cross-strait cooperation in semiconductor industry.

Zhang Zhongmou is also optimistic about the global economic downturn, the mainland domestic market will play a very positive role and great potential; however, he felt that mainland China's savings rate is too high, not bad, we do not want to spend money, is a contradiction to stimulate the global economy rise.

In this wave of depression under the impact of the Taiwan DRAM factory requirements bailout rumors emerge; this Zhang Zhongmou pointed out that, in the era of global change, the government should give up the winner construction practice, this wave of financial turmoil in the global industry, he is not convenient to comment whether the factory only to save DRAM, "this question is very controversial" in response, but he thinks, Taiwan DRAM industry is not to talk about the authorities to save the.
