Needless to say, the importance of semiconductor technology to the future is no longer necessary. Now major countries and regions in the world are actively developing. Among them, the European Union also hopes to get a share of the advanced technology.last year17EU countries have launched new plans to invest in1450Billion euros, about1.2Trillion RMB to develop semiconductors.
According to the plan of the European Union, they mainly have2Goals, one is hope2030Doubled chip production in the year and increased market share to20%, The other is planning to make more advanced chips,Committed to2030Annual production5nmTo2nmChip.
The EU region’s own semiconductor technology is very strong, and even more globally knownIMECBelgian Microelectronics Center,ASMLAsme and other R&D centers, among themASMLIs the only mass production in the worldEUVLithography machine company, EU development2nmCraftsmanship is essential.
In addition, the EU has many global semiconductor giants, such asSTSTMicroelectronics, Infineon,NXPNXP and so on,GFGF also has a fab in Dresden, Germany, which seems to have the right time and place.
However the EU’s2nmThe process plan was not supported by the local company, at leastSTBoth ST and Infineon do not plan to participate.The reason given by Infineon is simple-the EU wants2nmWhat is the use of a fab?Who would consider being in the EU2nmfactory produced2nmchip?
ST, Infineon’s reasons are very good,2nmCraftsmanship is very important, but if you want to build it2nmProcess, the first thing to be solved is2nmThe craftsmanship can really be developed, and who will use it?This is actually the development of various countries2nmThe core issue of the craft.
STInfineon2nmThe reason why the process is against the tune is also very simple, because the EU’s own chip companies do not need the chips that they are good at and need2nmSuch advanced technology,ST, Infineon,NXPThe core business of the company is mainly automotive chips, power chips, etc. Many chips still stay in90nm、65nm、55nm、40nm、28nmWait for the node, even if it is more advanced,16 / 14nm、7nmNodes can also meet future needs, there is no2nmProcess requirements.
