? Malaysia Wafer Production Base
?As the first manufacturer to invest in the construction of a fab in Malaysia, Hynix Semiconductor was warmly welcomed by the government and was given great tax reduction and exemption policies and land purchase incentives.
Hynix honestly and bluntly occupied a piece of land of four square kilometers in the suburbs of Kuala Lumpur to build a Hynix high-tech industrial park.
In the suburbs of Kuala Lumpur
Such a large piece of land is worth 650 million U.S. dollars, and Hynix only spent 150 million U.S. dollars to get it, which is simply the price of cabbage.
Hynix Industrial Park is about 37 kilometers south of Kuala Lumpur city center and is located in the Banting area. It is a contiguous emerging industrial area with complete transportation facilities and supporting enterprises.
It is less than 8 kilometers away from the famous coast of Malacca to the west, and only 13.5 kilometers away from Kuala Lumpur International Airport to the east. The geographical location is very superior.
? After more than a year of construction, the industrial park has taken shape.
At present, two eight-inch fabs have been put into production successively, with a monthly production capacity of up to 60,000 pieces, all of which are international application chip foundry orders.
Looking from a distance
The huge blue and white connected factory buildings, as well as the office building area standing tall at the front of the factory area, show the different style of modern high-tech enterprises.
?Great hand, large investment, high output, representing the international cutting-edge technology.
This is the case in the publicity. In fact, the two eight-inch production lines were dismantled from the acquired Toshiba Semiconductor. Not counting the cost of land and factory buildings, the total cost of all equipment did not exceed 875 million US dollars.
Compared with the new production line, it is no different from the price of cabbage.
? Wang Yaocheng is keen on the merger and acquisition of closed fabs, among which the eight-inch wafer production line is the primary target.
Since the development of Atlantic Jinko, together with Helix Semiconductor, it has a total of 13 eight-inch wafer production lines, including six old lines and seven new production lines.
some of
Including one eight-inch wafer production line of Fujitsu Co., Ltd., three eight-inch wafer production lines of Hynix Semiconductor, and two eight-inch wafer production lines of Toshiba Semiconductor, a total of six old lines.
?Because this part of the eight-inch wafer production line was put into production earlier, ranging from 7 to 10 years ago, the technical equipment is relatively backward, and it is mainly used in the production of low-end application chips, which are widely demanded bulk products in the international market.
Eight-inch wafers cost a lot of money to upgrade and transform, and add high-end equipment to produce high-end application chips.
However, the world's advanced high-precision lithography machine costs tens of millions of dollars, and a high-performance evaporation machine costs millions of dollars. It costs a lot to transform the production line. Even Atlantic Jinko, which is rich and powerful, is reluctant to invest such a huge amount of money. .
Therefore, it is possible to produce cpu chips with a 0.13-micron process technology representing the world's top level, all of which are in the seven new production lines.
now
There are about 42 eight-inch wafer production lines in the world, and eleven of them are planned to be built. Atlantic Jinko has 13 eight-inch wafer lines in stock, which is about one-third weaker.
From the perspective of market position, Atlantic Jinko, as the world's top manufacturer, accounts for more than half of the world's memory chip production capacity, 26.3% of the application chip market, and 79.2% of the advanced process microprocessor chip market share.
?Belongs to a comprehensive chip manufacturer, its subsidiary Hynix specializes in the chip foundry market, and its market positioning overlaps with TSMC.
Even after 20 years, the eight-inch wafer line is still not far behind.
And with the rapid expansion of market demand, the original semiconductor manufacturers eliminated outdated equipment, and the existing eight-inch wafer production line became more and more popular.
Many lighting, communication, automobile, television, audio and other application chip products do not require advanced process technology, but are very price sensitive.
"What? The creditors of Novaray rejected our offer and were unwilling to sell to us. I need a reason."
Wang Yaocheng looked at the gentle and elegant middle-aged man in front of him with an unfriendly expression. This man was called Tao Lexing, a Chinese-American.
He is a master of mergers and acquisitions trained by Mr. Huo Jiaguang. He has a doctorate degree from the Business School of Princeton University. He once worked as a senior partner of Lehman Brothers. He is currently the executive vice president of Caribbean Company, in charge of corporate mergers and acquisitions and integration.
"Boss, this is not a crime of war."
Tao Lexing smiled bitterly, and said: "Although Taiwan Island is currently open to mainland private tourism and family visits, and the restraint policy on Taiwanese businessmen is gradually loosening, obstacles still exist, and we are highly vigilant against northern capital, including our Hong Kong capital. "
"We are inWhy is it so difficult to travel in Taiwan and Europe? "
"Boss, these years, the demons have danced wildly on Taiwan Island, and there have been many chaos. Brother Bian, who is in charge now, is not a good friend. What's more, the creditors of Lianrui Company hate us to the bone. It is mostly due to us to go bankrupt today. The resistance is very serious, but anyone who has a choice may really not want to cooperate with us."
Wang Yaocheng smiled contemptuously: "Hehe, is there anyone intervening?"
"It's Zhang Zhongmou of TSMC. They also proposed an overall acquisition plan, but there is no offer yet."
"TSMC?"
Wang Yaocheng chewed these three words thoughtfully, feeling a little surprised and reasonable.
TSMC is the leading Taiwan-funded chip manufacturer and is strongly supported by the Taiwan Island government. Its full name is Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. The list of major shareholders includes Philips of the Netherlands and the Executive Yuan, with a deep background.
Reminiscent of Philips's stake in the Korean-owned LG Group, this potential European competitor emerged.
As a world-renowned veteran electronics giant, Philips of the Netherlands provides a wide range of electronic products, ranging from radar to aviation communication and navigation equipment, from household appliances to lighting, and covers everything.
Philips itself needs a wide variety of application chips and a huge quantity, which is related to the core competitiveness of the enterprise.
Due to high production costs, Philips has withdrawn from the field of chip production, but in Micron, LG Group and TSMC have layouts, and use the method of equity participation to master a certain amount of chip production capacity to ensure their own needs.
From this point of view, the water behind TSMC is very deep.
Thinking of this, Wang Yaocheng said; "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you can win a hundred battles. This incident of Lianrui has reminded us that competitors are never idle and will do everything possible to cause trouble for us. We must collect more relevant information. Make more plans to avoid being caught off guard."
"Boss, we can actually intervene from another aspect."
"how do I say this?"
Tao Lexing explained; "The purpose of our intervention in the acquisition of Lianrui is to obtain their production capacity at the lowest price. Due to non-commercial reasons, it seems that this way is not feasible now.
That is, we can bear a certain bridge price, and we can ask American capital to sell, acquire and resell it to us. "
Wang Yaocheng thought about it, and said; "As a backup plan, you can contact relevant parties to prepare for intervention. The specific transaction needs to be discussed in depth before deciding."
"Got it, boss, I'm going down to prepare."
"Okay, let's go."
Looking at the back of Tao Lexing leaving, Wang Yaocheng fell into deep thought, how to break this situation?
Whether it is the field of advanced wafer production or liquid crystal display production, it is a place where Taiwan and island manufacturers gather together densely, forming an emerging force that cannot be ignored in the world market.
In order to dominate the world market in these two fields, manufacturers from Taiwan and Taiwan are problems that cannot be bypassed.
The incorporation is still suppressed across the board, involving a huge cost of tens of billions of dollars, which is not something that can be easily accomplished.
Which one to go and which one to follow needs to be carefully considered. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
