Semiconductor wafer companies such as Shanghai Supersilicon are favored by global manufacturers
In the #silicon wafer industry chain, the upstream is the raw material silicon mine, the midstream is the silicon wafer #manufacturer, and the downstream is the chip manufacturer. Silicon wafers must be certified by downstream chip manufacturers before order transactions can occur. Downstream chip manufacturers have strict requirements on the product quality of silicon wafer suppliers, and are also very strict on the selection of suppliers. Therefore, before establishing a formal cooperative relationship between silicon wafer production enterprises and chip manufacturing enterprises, in addition to passing the industry quality management system certification, they also need to go through long-term "inspection and certification" by customers.
Taking Shanghai Supersilicon as an example, it is understood that its current customers include #TSMC, #UMC, #GlobalFoundries, #SMIC, Huahong Group and other internationally renowned foundry companies, as well as leading companies such as #Hynix of Korea, #Kioxia of Japan, and Micron of the United States. International memory chip companies, NXP of the Netherlands, Infineon of Germany, Texas Instruments of the United States, #Sony of Japan and other international leading #semiconductor IDM companies. Among the world's top 20 integrated circuit manufacturers, 18 have become official customers of Shanghai Chaosilicon.
It is worth mentioning that in the accumulation of technology, Shanghai Super Silicon has realized the independent control of key manufacturing equipment. The 8-inch and 12-inch products produced by Shanghai Chaosilicon use self-developed, designed and manufactured crystal growth furnaces, and it is also the third 12-inch silicon wafer company in the world that has independently mastered this technology.
With the new wave of consumer electronics such as artificial intelligence and 5G mobile phones and the expansion of digital applications, the global semiconductor industry is expected to maintain a high level of prosperity, and more and more domestic silicon wafer manufacturers have been recognized. This is also a solid "core" infrastructure for China's integrated circuit industry. important factor.
