Global 12-inch wafer output growth rate of 29% next year

Stanley T. Myers, president and chief executive of the International Semiconductor Equipment Materials Industry Association (SEMI), said on the 11th that global 12-inch wafer output will grow 59 percent year-on-year this year. Twenty-nine percent. Among them, Taiwan will surpass South Korea for the first time next year, becoming the largest producer of 12-inch wafer capacity. Analysts believe that the island's solar radiation, silicon products, Licheng, Jingyuan Electric and other back-end packaging and testing plants will benefit the most.

According to Taiwan’s “Economic Daily” report, “SEMICONTaiwan II???? Seven Taiwan Semiconductor Equipment and Materials Exhibition” was held in Taipei World Trade Center 1 and Hall 3 for three days from the 12th. There are more than 750 manufacturers this year. Exhibitors have created the highest record of exhibitors in recent years.
The organizer of SEMI, Meyer, pointed out at a press conference on the 11th that due to the driving of consumer electronics, the semiconductor industry is facing an important change, including cost adhesion and innovation-oriented applications, including die attach, wire bonding, packaging, etc. Technology continues to develop towards advanced processes.
Meyer stressed that although the absolute output of the chip has been rising over the past five years, the unit price has been decreasing due to consumer electronics. The current price of IC is lower than the average price of the second semiconductor. US$52 billion, a slight increase of 1.6% over last year’s US$248 billion, but the total semiconductor equipment and purchases will increase by US$82 billion due to advanced processes. In Taiwan, the total investment in semiconductor equipment and materials in the second seven years will reach US$16.6 billion, second only to Japan, becoming the world's second largest semiconductor equipment material. The pressure is increasing NEDO will entrust the development of organic EL lighting to three companies. The British Football Club will provide lighting with wind power. The World Bank will launch the African lighting program to promote the popularization of the wide-format laser/LED hardware shipments in 2010. 44,450 ABB signed with Kenya Power and Lighting. contract
