Recently, the world’s third largest supplier of integrated circuit silicon wafers for basic materials, Global Wafer, has publicly stated at its performance conference that all sizes of silicon wafers will be tightly supplied this year, including 6, 8 and 12-inch silicon wafers. Prices will rise from 2017, and the increase is higher than the fourth quarter of last year.
Global Silicon Board Chairman Xu Xiulan pointed out that semiconductor demand is far beyond imagination. She expects the price of silicon wafers will continue to rise next year. At present, the visibility of global wafer orders is already visible in 2020, and production capacity has been booked more than half. It also shows that In 2019, Global Wafer's operating performance was stable.
It is reported that due to the development of technology trends, including smart homes, Internet of things, automotive electronics, electric vehicles, mobile payments and other applications, making semiconductor demand and application scenarios quickly opened, it now appears that there is no problem with the fundamentals of operations.
Xu Xiulan pointed out that the current global wafer revenue proportion, this year due to the 8 and 12-inch prices are all positive, it is expected that the proportion of 8 inches below will be reduced again in the second half, while the proportion of 8 and 12 inches will be pulled up, is expected to have Helps the overall gross profit rate performance. It is reported that the global wafer technology, cost, and management capabilities all have advantages. It is worth mentioning that Global Wafer has up to 16 factories worldwide, of which only two are self-covered, and the remaining 14 factories are Acquisitions are made and all are bought at discounted prices, so they have a cost advantage and are more competitive with newcomers.
It is understood that the world's top five suppliers of silicon wafers include Japan's Shin-Etsu Semiconductor (a market share of 27%), Sung Hi-Tech (a market share of 26%), Taiwan Global's wafers (a market share of 17%), and Germany's Silitronic ( Market share of 13%) and Korean LG (9% market share).
It is reported that Universal Wafer's Japanese subsidiary will increase production of semiconductor silicon wafers. The company’s president, Arao Takashi, said that “the demand from memory-related and data centers has increased†and decided to increase production. The current plan is mainly for 12-inch products. At the same time, Japan’s Shin-Etsu Semiconductor also announced in August last year that due to strong semiconductor demand, boosting demand for silicon wafers as a substrate material and tight supply and demand, it decided to invest 43.6 billion yen in its Imari factory to increase production investment with a target of 2019. In the first half of the year, the monthly production capacity of 12-inch silicon wafers will increase by 110,000.
The upstream silicon wafer materials are subject to people's control, and it has also become an embarrassment for industrial development in mainland China, which has rapidly developed the entire IC industry.
The latest Windows has multiple versions, including Basic, Home, and Ultimate. Windows has developed from a simple GUI to a typical operating system with its own file format and drivers, and has actually become the most user-friendly operating system. Windows has added the Multiple Desktops feature. This function allows users to use multiple desktop environments under the same operating system, that is, users can switch between different desktop environments according to their needs. It can be said that on the tablet platform, the Windows operating system has a good foundation.
