Dongtang’s domestic IC design industry output value and manufacturer revenue rankings in 2017.

This year's ranking of the top ten IC design manufacturers has been slightly adjusted compared to 2016. Datang Semiconductor Design will not be among the top ten. GigaDevice and Weir Semiconductor entered the top ten by virtue of their excellent revenue performance.

The top ten are HiSilicon Semiconductor, Unisoc Spreadtrum, Zhongxin Microelectronics, Huada Semiconductor, Goodix Technology, Zhixin Microelectronics, Silan Microelectronics, Weir Semiconductor, Vimicro Microelectronics, and Trillion Innovation.

Recently, the list of "Top Ten Best-Selling Brands of Dongtang Mobile Phones in the World in 2017" was announced. In the first three quarters, Huawei mobile phones sold 147 million units globally, ranking first among domestic mobile phones.

The distribution of chip brands in the Android camp in October shows that Huawei's HiSilicon Kirin ranked second with a market share of 14.65%. Although it is far behind the first place Qualcomm's 69.11% share, it surpasses the company that has had chips for many years. MediaTek (11.94%) and Sanxin (2.26%) have R\u0026D experience.

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

Unisoc Zhanrui was formed from the merger of Spreadtrum and RDA. It is a mobile chip company under Unisoc Group. It currently mainly supplies customers such as Sanxin, Tianzhu Micromax and Lenovo Group.

Spreadtrum and Alibaba have reached a baseline level of cooperation in launching AliOS. Spreadtrum's LTE chip platform has fully supported AliOS, and mobile terminal shipments have exceeded 10 million units.

However, due to the fierce competition in the mid-to-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 Sino-Singapore Communications IC Design Department. It is now 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, with estimated revenue growth of more than 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, revenue in 2017 will also exceed the RMB 5 billion mark for the first time.

As a leading fingerprint recognition chip company, Goodix's products have been widely adopted by terminal manufacturers at home and abroad, and have become fingerprint recognition chips for mainstream terminal brands with Android systems such as Huawei, Zhongxin, VO, Wheat, Meizu, and LeTV. supplier.

Goodix's penetration rate in terminal applications continues to increase. In March this year, its fingerprint chip shipments surpassed FPC and became the world's number one. Revenue growth this year is also expected to exceed 25%.

GigaDevice, which has entered the top ten in terms of revenue for the first time, is expected to have a revenue growth rate of over 40% in 2017, surpassing the RMB 2 billion mark, thanks to its outstanding market performance in NOR Flash and 32bit MCUs.

Guancheng City, Huawei company headquarters.

Huh? Boss Ren looked at Yu Mingguang walking in with a strange look on his face and asked curiously:

"Why is Lao Yu looking like this?"

"Mr. Ren, you'll know just by looking at it." Yu Mingguang said and handed an email to Mr. Ren.

When he took it over and took a look, Mr. Ren's eyes suddenly widened and he quickly lifted his glasses to look again.

"Aren't you kidding?"

"I talked to Huang Junjie on the phone and it was confirmed. By the way, there is this thing!" After Yu Mingguang finished speaking, he took a No. 0 chip from the assistant and handed it to Mr. Ren.

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

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

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

After all, various chip design companies are currently developing 5-nanometer chips, but the only chip manufacturing companies that may have production capacity are Taiji Electric, Sanxin, and even Intel are somewhat unable to do so.

However, Taiji Electric, which is the fastest, has no plans to mass-produce it until 2020.

In other words, there are currently no 5-nanometer chips on the market, so there is no such thing as OEM or counterfeiting.

The previous Hanxin incident brought great embarrassment to the country. Chen Jin claimed that the "Hanxin No. 1" "invented" by the trademark law was used by animals. With the help of "Hanxin No. 1", Chen Jin applied for dozens more Scientific research projects have received scientific research funds worth hundreds of millions of yuan.

Although Huawei does not have the ability to manufacture chips, it is still possible to test them. After all, after being OEMed by Taiji Electric, Huawei must test these chips by itself, otherwise it will be foolish to use them directly, and if something goes wrong, it will really be a scam.

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

5nm chip? Are you sure it’s not a satellite?

Although there are many doubts, what should be done is done.

For more than two hours, the person in charge of the testing department took the test report with a look of disbelief on his face and trotted to deliver the test report to Yu Mingguang's office.

"Mr. Yu! It's unbelievable. This chip really reaches the 5-nanometer level and integrates 13 billion transistors. It is more perfect than ordinary chips. It can exert the performance of 15 billion transistors, but their design is very rough. , and there are signs of plagiarism.”

"Got it." Yu Mingguang waved his hand and asked the person in charge of the testing department to leave.

Regarding the latter two questions, Yu Mingguang knew that it might be because the chip was an experimental product.

After Mr. Ren read the test report.

"Mingguang! This time I will go to Shanmei in person."

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

At the same time, domestic semiconductor design companies such as Unisoc Spreadtrum, Zhongxin Microelectronics, Huada Semiconductor, Goodix Technology, Zhixin Microelectronics, Silan Microelectronics, Weir Semiconductor, Vimicro Microelectronics, and Trillion Innovation have also received Invitation letter from Galaxy Technology.

Wang Fei, the president of Sino-Singapore Microelectronics, couldn’t help but sigh when looking at the test report:

"Galaxy technology is really scary!"

"Yes! Their semiconductor company has only been established for four months, and they have already completed large silicon wafers and developed 5-nanometer chips. I really can't imagine how powerful their scientific research capabilities are." The chief technology officer sighed to himself.

"Is there a difference between genius and mortal? Being born in the same era as Huang Haojie, this is a kind of helplessness!" Wang Fei knew if this matter was true.

Then Galaxy Technology and Huang Haojie will replace Huawei Company and become the technological representatives of Eastern Tang Dynasty, and reach the pinnacle of Eastern Tang Dynasty.

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

But this kind of thing cannot be hidden at all, and Galaxy Technology did not hide it either.

Soon the news was like a nuclear bomb detonating, shocking the whole world.

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

And these invited semiconductor companies didn’t hide anything.

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

Now it’s real, and companies such as Huaxin International, Taiji Electric, Sanxin, Intel, Qualcomm, and ASML have also sent requests to Galaxy Technology, hoping to send people to attend this conference.

After all, Huang Haojie originally planned to hold a small press conference and just invite some domestic semiconductor companies.

Seeing how enthusiastic everyone was, he took advantage of the situation and expanded the scale of the press conference.

Invitations were sent to semiconductor companies all over the world. Of course, Huang Junjie knew that there must be some with evil intentions among these companies.

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