Samsung Semiconductor will reduce the amount of wafers put into wafers by 10%, and the EUV production line will be even worse

  According to Korean media Aju News,  Samsung  plans to reduce at least 10% of the wafer production at the S3 plant in South Korea’s Hwaseong Park starting from the third quarter of 2023. Samsung Semiconductor  will start reducing production at the S3 plant in Hwaseong Park in the third quarter. The S3 factory is a 12-inch production line built and put into operation by Samsung Semiconductor in 2018. It currently mainly produces 10nm to 7nm products. It is also one of the main production plants of Samsung Semiconductor's EUV advanced process. Samsung has deployed multiple ASML NXE3400 EUV lithography machines for it. . Aju News pointed out that this production cut is the first time in recent years that Samsung has artificially reduced the amount of wafers put into semiconductor factories. During the downturn in the semiconductor industry, in order to invest counter-cyclically to squeeze competitors such as TSMC,  Samsung  was still seeking to expand production until the beginning

The demand in the new energy market is hot, and semiconductor giants gather in GaN

  Recently, Europe has established a gallium nitride scientific research project of up to 60 million euros, aiming to establish a complete supply capacity from power chips to modules. In addition to  Infineon , another 45 of its partners are involved. There is no doubt that this large-scale and high-investment GaN project highlights Infineon's determination to increase the layout for three and a half generations. To some extent, this will also be an important step for Europe to increase its chip manufacturing share and create a resilient supply chain. In February last year, Infineon announced that it would spend more than 2 billion euros to build a third plant in Kulim, Malaysia, to produce SiC and GaN power semiconductors. At the same time, it said that in the future, the Si production line at the Villach plant in Austria will be transformed and converted to SiC and GaN production capacity. Earlier,  #Infineon  announced that it had signed a final agreement with GaN Systems to acq

STMicroelectronics and other European companies join Apple's clean energy plan

  On May 30th, Apple's spending on European suppliers has shown a continuous growth trend in recent years. It is reported that since 2018, Apple's spending on European suppliers has increased by more than 50%, totaling more than 85 billion euros. In 2022 alone, Apple will spend more than 20 billion euros in Europe. Apple works closely with more than 4,000 European suppliers who provide innovative components and technologies for the manufacture of Apple products. Innovations from these European suppliers can be found in every Apple product, from sensors for the Apple Watch, to lidar for the iPhone, and microcontrollers for the Mac. "The innovative spirit and incredible talent that brought Apple here in Europe more than 40 years ago has contributed more to our products than ever before," Cathy Kearney, Apple's vice president of operations, said in a release. So strong now. Our deep partnerships with European suppliers help us create breakthrough technologies, and we

After Micron, the second largest memory chip maker in the United States will merge with a Japanese company

  Memory chip manufacturers in 2023:  Micron , SK Hynix, and  Samsung , the three giants, lost a total of more than 50 billion in memory chips in the first quarter. In the second quarter, as the price further dropped and the demand market continued to slump, the agency predicted that the losses would be more serious. Even Samsung, a manufacturer that likes to gamble when it is low, dare not gamble, which shows how serious the situation is. Unlike other manufacturers, Micron has not passed the safety review in the Chinese market, so it is estimated that it will give up about 11% of the market share at most. There are already media reports that manufacturers such as Lenovo and Inspur have stopped purchasing Micron chips. Micron is the largest memory chip manufacturer in the United States, and DRAM+NAND accounts for about 20% of the global market. Therefore, Micron's unfavorable situation has a great impact on the US chip industry. However, after Micron, Western Digital, the second la
