Taiwan becomes the world's largest semiconductor chip manufacturing base

Global semiconductor chip manufacturing share share in July 2011 The semiconductor chip manufacturing industry has a significant impact on the IT electronics product industry. CPU, memory, and other core components of these servers and network devices. Relevant media in the statistics of global semiconductor chip manufacturing share, found that Taiwan is currently the world's largest semiconductor chip manufacturing base. In July 2011, Taiwan accounted for 21% of the global semiconductor chip manufacturing industry. For the first time, Taiwan surpassed Japan and South Korea to mention storage, which accounted for the largest share in the world.

According to research data from IC Insights, a research institute, in July 2011, China’s Taiwan accounted for 21% of the world’s semiconductor chip manufacturing industry, out of 200mm chip production.

The statistics are based on the location of the manufacturing plant. For example, the manufacturing base of a foreign company in Taiwan counts its chip shipments in Taiwan, and the amount of chips produced by South Korea’s Samsung’s construction base in the United States also counts as the US’s share.

In second place is Japan, which holds a 19.7% share, followed by South Korea’s 16.8%, the United States’ share of 14.7%, and China’s share of 8.9%, slightly higher than Europe’s 8.1%.

Other countries and regions not mentioned above, such as Singapore, Russia, South America and Africa, etc., have a share of 10.8%.

In July 2011, according to statistics of the Taiwan Semiconductor Association (TSIA), Taiwan has 263 chip design companies. The scale and output value are second only to the United States, far more than South Korea and China; there are 15 chip manufacturers and the highest density in the world12 The plant community is second only to South Korea; with 32 packages and 37 test plants, it ranks first in the world. Overall, Taiwan has produced more than half of the world's chips.

Among these companies, chip design companies such as MTK, Novatek, Mstar, Realtek, etc., and wafer foundries TSMC and UMC, believe that most of us Have heard of it.

In addition to occupying the top spot in the 200mm-size semiconductor chip manufacturing share, Taiwan is also leading the rest of the region in chips of other size classes. For example, in 2011, Taiwan’s share of the world's 300mm-sized chip manufacturing segment occupied Taiwan’s share of 25.4%.
