In 2017, the output value of Dongtang's domestic IC design industry and the ranking of manufacturers' revenue.

This year's ranking of the top 10 IC design manufacturers has been slightly adjusted compared with the situation in 2016, Datang Semiconductor Design will not be in the top 10, and GigaDevice and Weir Semiconductor have entered the top 10 in terms of revenue with excellent revenue performance.

The top 10 are HiSilicon Semiconductor, Unisplendour Spreadtrum, Zhongxin Microelectronics, Huada Semiconductor, Goodix Technology, Zhixin Microelectronics, Silan Microelectronics, Weir Semiconductor, Zhongxing Microelectronics, and Trillion Innovation.

Recently, the list of "2017 Dongtang Mobile Phone Top Ten Best-Selling Brands in the World" was announced, and the sales of Huawei mobile phones in the first three quarters were as high as 147 million units in the world, ranking first in domestic mobile phones.

The distribution of chip brands in the Android camp in October shows that Huawei's Hisilicon Kirin ranks second with a market share of 14.65%, although it is far behind the 69.11% market share of Qualcomm, which is the first place, but it exceeds MediaTek (11.94%) and Sanxin (2.26%), which have many years of experience in chip research and development.

As a result, HiSilicon's revenue in 2017 maintained an annual growth rate of more than 25% thanks to the strong growth of mobile phone shipments from its parent company, Huawei, and the increase in the adoption rate of Kirin chips.

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

Spreadtrum and Alibaba have reached a baseline-level cooperation on AliOS, Spreadtrum's LTE chip platform has achieved full support for AliOS, and mobile terminal shipments have exceeded 10 million units.

However, subject to the fierce competition in the low-end mobile phone market, UNISOC has seen a pullback in its performance this year.

Zhongxin Microelectronics is a holding subsidiary of Zhongxin Communication, formerly known as the IC Design Department of Zhongxin Communication, and is now one of the largest IC design companies in Dongtang.

According to Zhongxin 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, the performance has performed well this year, with an estimated revenue growth of more than 30%.

Huada Semiconductor is an IC design company under Dongtang Electronic Information Industry Group (CEC), whose business involves smart cards and security chips, analog circuits, new displays and other fields.

With the support of the Group's resources, the revenue in 2017 will also exceed RMB 5 billion for the first time.

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

Goodix's penetration rate in terminal applications continues to increase, and in March this year, the shipment of fingerprint chips surpassed that of FPC to become the world's No. 1 in terms of shipments. It is expected that the revenue growth will also exceed 25% this year.

GigaDevice, which entered the top 10 in terms of revenue for the first time, is expected to exceed RMB 2 billion in 2017 with its excellent market performance in NOR Flash and 32-bit MCUs.

Well? Mr. Ren looked at Yu Mingguang and walked in with a strange face, and asked curiously:

"Why does Lao Yu have such an expression?"

"Mr. Ren, just look at it." After Yu Mingguang finished speaking, he handed an email to Mr. Ren.

After taking a look, Mr. Ren's eyes suddenly widened, and he quickly lifted his glasses to look again.

"No kidding?"

"I talked to Huang Haojie on the phone, and I confirmed that it was correct, 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.

"5nm chips, how do they do it? I haven't heard of ASML selling top-of-the-line lithography machines to China? Huaxin's will not arrive until 2019? How did they get the lithography machine?" Mr. Ren was puzzled after taking it.

"Huang Haojie didn't say anything, just said that he used the new process." Yu Mingguang also helplessly spread his hands.

"Let the inspection department take a look at this chip." Mr. Ren was also a little uncertain.

After all, 5nm chips, now various chip design companies are developing them, but the chip manufacturing companies that may have production capacity are just Taijidian, Sanxin, and even Intel are a little powerless.

However, the fastest base power will not be mass-produced until 2020.

In other words, there are no 5nm chips on the market now, so there is no OEM counterfeiting or the like.

Chen Jin called the "Hanxin No. 1" "invented" by the veterinary grinding trademark method, and with the help of "Hanxin No. 1", Chen Jin applied for dozens of scientific research projects and obtained scientific research funds of up to hundreds of millions of yuan.

Although Hua Wei does not have the ability to manufacture chips, it is still possible to test it, after all, after the foundry of Taiji Electric, these chips must be tested for themselves, otherwise they will be used directly if they are stupid, and if something goes wrong, they will really cheat.

The people in the testing department, after taking over this inspection task, were also very surprised.

5nm chips? Are you sure it's not satellites?

Although there are many doubts, what should I do?

For more than two hours, the person in charge of the testing department held the test report with an incredulous look and trotted to deliver the test report to Yu Mingguang's office.

"Mr. Yu! It's unbelievable, this chip really reaches the 5nm level, it integrates 13 billion transistors, and it is more perfect than ordinary chips, it can play 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 to let the head of the inspection department leave.

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

Mr. Ren read the test report.

"Mingguang! This time I went to Shanmei in person. ”

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

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

Wang Fei, president of Zhongxin Microelectronics, couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the test report:

"Galaxy Technology is really scary!"

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

"Is there a gap between geniuses and mortals? Born in the same era as Huang Haojie, this is a kind of helplessness! Wang Fei knew that if this was true.

Then Galaxy Technology and Huang Haojie will replace Hua as the company and become the scientific and technological representatives of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, and reach the peak of the Eastern Tang Dynasty.

Other companies have also received the news, although the invitation from Galaxy Technology only invites companies in the semiconductor sector.

But this kind of thing can't be hidden at all, and Galaxy Technology doesn't hide it either.

Soon the news shocked the whole world like the detonation of a nuclear bomb.

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

And these invited semiconductor companies are not hiding anything.

said that he did receive an invitation from Galaxy Semiconductor, a subsidiary of Galaxy Technology, to go to Shanmei to participate in the press conference of Galaxy Semiconductor's chip production line.

Even Huaxin International, Taijidian, Sanxin, Intel, Qualcomm, ASML and other companies have also sent requests to Galaxy Technology, hoping to send people to participate in this press conference.

After all, Huang Haojie planned to hold a small press conference at the beginning, and it was enough to invite some domestic semiconductor companies.

Seeing that everyone was so enthusiastic, he pushed the boat to expand the scale of the press conference.

Invitations have been sent to semiconductor companies all over the world, of course, Huang Haojie knows that among these companies, there must be ill intentions.

The competitors, in particular, are probably restless at this point.
