In recent years, the number of flying China Beijing, Shenzhen and Shanghai has increased ... "The chairman of a semiconductor equipment company was a bit happy and somewhat helpless to say that in recent years the semiconductor industry in mainland China has boomed. In the past, his major big client From Taiwan's semiconductor company, but now, his orders for semiconductor equipment purchased by customers in mainland China than in previous years are much higher; even more surprising is that he recently in mainland China's main semiconductor business contacts, and more It was a high-level supervisor who had dealt with in Taiwan before.
A bunch of talented people switch to China
In late October, the chairman walked into a new 29-storey glass curtain building at the Ziguang Group in Haidian District, Beijing, where he routinely visited senior management and negotiated business. Recently, he has had more opportunities to visit mainland China, Also observed the rapid flow of high-level talent from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. However, it was somewhat shocking to see with his own eyes. "Sun Shiwei's office on the 28th floor is next door to Gao Qizuan (office)!" Said the chairman with a smile.
Sun Shiwei is the former UMC executive vice president, chief operating officer, chief executive officer and vice chairman of the old Union Power; Gao Qijun is the former South Asia Branch, Hua Yakou front Dongzuo, and "Taiwan DRAM (dynamic random access memory) Godfather. "In the past, two people in Taiwan's semiconductor industry, each with a single day, now work together for the Ziguang Group in Beijing and are in charge of military and memory operations.
From these two were born in Taiwan's semiconductor, memory, general manager of the Group in the vicinity of the Office of the Group can be seen next, the future of the Group's semiconductor and memory will be dual-track strategy.
Sun Shiwei and Gao Qiquan are not the few cases in mainland China that have been hiring Taiwan's top talent for semiconductor companies. On October 16, a personnel press release issued by SMIC officially announced that TSMC's former director of research and development Liang Meisong will take over the joint chief executive officer Executive Director, the same shocked the semiconductor industry across the Taiwan Strait.
The other day, SMIC closed at HK $ 10.14 (about NT $ 39.66), a rise of 1.5% over the closing price of HK $ 9.99 (NTD 39.08) on the 16th. It is obvious that the market is generally optimistic about the news that Leong Meng-song will join SMIC; more Some people claim that Liang Mingsong may be the future number one influence on the global wafer pattern, because he has long-R & D talent, best at the core technology of advanced process ─FinFET (FinFET).
Dig dig dig technology into TSMC
Industry insiders estimate that after Leong Mingsong joined SMIC, he had the opportunity to rapidly raise the yield of SMIC's 28nm process and even squeezed the market penetration of 28nm including TSMC, which is bound to affect other Competitors pose a threat.
Prior to joining Liang Mengsong, SMIC announced on December 21, 2016 that Jiang Shangyi, the former co-chief operating officer of TSMC, was hired as an independent director, which at the time also made the industry across the Taiwan Strait rise in an uproar.
