Chapter 97 Invitation

In 2017, Dongtang's domestic IC design industry output value and manufacturer revenue ranking.

The ranking of the top ten IC design manufacturers this year has been slightly adjusted compared with the situation in 2016. Datang Semiconductor Design will miss the top ten, and GigaDevice and Weir Semiconductor will enter the top ten revenue rankings due to their excellent revenue performance.

The top ten are HiSilicon, Unigroup Spreadtrum, Sino-Singapore Microelectronics, Huada Semiconductor, Goodix Technology, Zhixin Microelectronics, Silan Microelectronics, Weir Semiconductor, Vimicro, and Zhaoyi Innovation.

Recently, the list of "2017 Dongtang Mobile Phone Top Ten Best-selling Brands in the World" was announced. In the first three quarters, the global sales of Huawei mobile phones reached as high as 1.47 million units, ranking first among domestic mobile phones.

10月份的安卓阵营芯片品牌分布显示，花为公司的海思麒麟以14.65%的市场份额排名第二，虽然远远落后于No.1高通69.11%的占有率，但却超过了多年有着多年芯片研发经验的联发科（11.94%）以及三鑫（2.26%）。

Therefore, benefiting from the strong growth of parent company Huawei’s mobile phone shipments and the increase in the adoption rate of Kirin chips, HiSilicon maintained an annual growth rate of more than 2017% in 25.

Ziguang Zhanrui was merged from Spreadtrum and RDA. It is a mobile chip company under Ziguang Group. Currently, it mainly supplies customers such as Sanxin, Tianzhu Micromax and Lenovo Group.

Spreadtrum and Alibaba's AliOS have reached a baseline level of cooperation. Spreadtrum's LTE chip platform has fully supported AliOS, and the shipment of mobile terminals has exceeded [-] million units.

However, subject to the fierce competition in the low-end mobile phone market, Zhanrui's performance this year has experienced a correction.

Sino-Singapore Microelectronics is a holding subsidiary of Sino-Singapore Communications. Its predecessor was the IC Design Department of Sino-Singapore Communications. Now it is one of the largest IC design companies in Dongtang.

According to Sino-Singapore Microelectronics, its chip shipments have increased significantly compared with last year, coupled with the finalization of the NB-IoT standard, and driven by the wide range of product coverage, its performance this year has been good. It is estimated that revenue growth will exceed 30%.

Huada Semiconductor is an IC design company under Dongtang Electronic Information Industry Group (CEC). Its business involves smart cards and security chips, analog circuits, new displays and other fields.

With the support of the group's resources, the revenue in 2017 will also exceed the RMB 50 billion mark for the first time.

As a leading fingerprint identification chip company, Goodix Technology has widely adopted its products in terminal manufacturers at home and abroad, and has become the fingerprint identification chip for mainstream Android terminal brands such as Huawei, Sino-Singapore, VO, Maimai, Meizu, and LeEco. supplier.

The penetration rate of Goodix in terminal applications continues to increase. In March this year, the shipment of fingerprint chips surpassed FPC to become the world's number one.Revenue growth is expected to exceed 25% this year as well.

GigaDevice, which entered the top ten revenue rankings for the first time, relies on its outstanding market performance in NOR Flash and 32bit MCUs. In 2017, its revenue growth rate is expected to exceed 40%, surpassing the RMB 20 billion mark.

In the city of Guan, Hua is the headquarters of the company.

Huh? Boss Ren saw Yu Mingguang walk in with a strange face, and asked curiously:

"Why does Lao Yu have such an expression?"

"Mr. Ren, you can tell by looking at it." After Yu Mingguang finished speaking, he handed a copy of the email to Mr. Ren.

After taking it over to take a look, Boss Ren suddenly widened his eyes, and hastily lifted his glasses to look again.

"No kidding?"

"Huang Haojie and I talked on the phone, and we confirmed that it is correct. By the way, there is still this thing!" After Yu Mingguang finished speaking, he took a No. 0 chip from his assistant and handed it to Boss Ren.

"5nm level chips, how did they do it? I haven't heard that ASML sells top-level lithography machines to China? Huaxin's will not arrive until 2019? How do they get lithography machines? "Boss Ren was puzzled after taking over.

"Huang Haojie didn't say anything clearly, he just said that he used a new technology." Yu Mingguang also spread his hands helplessly.

"Let the testing department take a look at this chip." Boss Ren also became a little uncertain.

After all, 5nm-level chips are now being developed by various chip design companies, but the chip manufacturers that may have production capacity are Taijidian, Sanxin, and even Intel.

However, the fastest Taiwan-based power plant will not be mass-produced until 2020.

In other words, there are no 5nm-level chips on the market now, so there is no such thing as OEM counterfeiting.

The previous Hanxin incident caused domestic embarrassment. Chen Jin called the animal "invented" "Hanxin No. [-]" with the trademark law, and with the help of "Hanxin No. [-]", Chen Jin applied for dozens more Scientific research projects have won scientific research funds of up to [-] million yuan.

Although Huawei does not have the ability to manufacture chips, it is still possible to test them. After all, after Taiwan-based electronics foundry, these chips must be tested by Huawei himself. Otherwise, if there is a problem, it will be really cheating.

The people in the testing department were also very surprised after taking over the testing task.

5nm chips? Are you sure you are not launching satellites?
Despite the doubts, but what to do.

For about two hours, the person in charge of the inspection department took the inspection report with a look of disbelief, and trotted to send the inspection report to Yu Mingguang's office.

"Mr. Yu! It's unbelievable. This chip has really reached the 5-nanometer level, with 130 billion transistors integrated in it, and it is more perfect than ordinary chips. It can exert the performance of 150 billion transistors, but their design is very rough. , and signs of plagiarism."

"Understood." Yu Mingguang waved his hand to let the person in charge of the inspection department leave.

For the latter two questions, Yu Mingguang knew that it might be because this chip was a test product.

After Boss Ren read the test report.

"Mingguang! This time I will go to Shanmei personally."

Looking at Boss Ren who became serious, Yu Mingguang nodded.

At the same time, domestic semiconductor design companies such as Ziguang Spreadtrum, Sino-Singapore Microelectronics, Huada Semiconductor, Goodix Technology, Zhixin Microelectronics, Silan Microelectronics, Weir Semiconductor, Vimicro, and Zhaoyi Innovation have also received Invitation letter from Galaxy Technology.

Wang Fei, the president of Sino-Singapore Microelectronics, looked at the test report and couldn't help sighing:

"Galaxy Technology is really scary!"

"Yes! Their semiconductor company has only been established for four months, and they have completed large silicon wafers and produced 5nm chips. I really can't imagine how powerful their scientific research capabilities are." The chief technology officer on the side sighed.

"Is there a gap between geniuses and mortals? It's helpless to be born in the same era as Huang Haojie!" Wang Fei knew if this was true.

Then Yinhe Technology and Huang Haojie will replace Huawei Company and become the technical representatives of Dongtang, and reach the pinnacle of Dongtang.

Other companies have also received the news, although Galaxy Technology's invitation letter only invites companies in the semiconductor field.

But this kind of thing cannot be concealed at all, and Yinhe Technology has not concealed it.

Soon the news shocked the whole world like a nuclear bomb detonated.

Many people with channels have confirmed this to the invited semiconductor companies.

And these invited semiconductor companies have nothing to hide.

He said that he had indeed received an invitation from Galaxy Semiconductor, a subsidiary of Galaxy Technology, to go to Shanmei to participate in the launch conference of Galaxy Semiconductor's chip production line.

Now it’s a real hammer, and even Huaxin International, Taijidian, Sanxin, Intel, Qualcomm, ASML and other companies have also sent requests to Galaxy Technology, hoping to send people to participate in this conference.

After all, Huang Haojie planned to hold a small press conference at the beginning, and just invited some domestic semiconductor companies.

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, he followed suit and expanded the scale of the press conference.

Invitations were sent to semiconductor companies all over the world. Of course, Huang Haojie knew that there must be some malicious people among these companies.

Especially those competitors, I am afraid that they are fidgeting at this time.
