| SMIC aims to grab foundry share An alliance between Chinese Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC), Huawei, Qualcomm and Imec looks likely to give chip competitors a run for their money. The joint venture aims at designing semiconductors at 14 nanometres that will be made at a SMIC fab on the mainland. Right now, according to Trendforce analysts, SMIC currently has the capacity to make 140,000 eight inch silicon wafers and 50,000 12 inch wafers a month but its process is only 40 to 45 nanometres. Trendforce said that one of its clients is helping it to move to a 28 nanometre production process. Huawei however has a subsidiary called HiSilicon which competes with Qualcomm and this may through a spanner in the joint venture. http://www.techeye.net/business/smic...-foundry-share |
