In recent years, semiconductor raw material silicon wafers are out of stock globally. The Science Park Trade Association has applied to Taiwan’s “International Trade Bureau†at the beginning of the year. It is recommended to open China to manufacture 12-inch silicon wafer imports without harming Taiwan’s safety and having no serious adverse impact on the industry; Taiwan The Ministry of Economic Affairs decided to temporarily reserve after the review at the end of June, and only allowed the project to be imported. According to reports, the main reason is that Taiwanese joint venture silicon wafer manufacturers strongly believe that although mainland China has not yet mass-produced silicon wafers, its manufacturers accept huge government subsidies. If it is rushed to open sales to Taiwan, it will lead to price competition and serious harm. Taiwanese industry.
Silicon wafers are the main raw materials for semiconductors. The research and development institutions predict that under the 12-inch wafer fab in mainland China, the global shortage of silicon wafers will continue until 2020; at present, only Taiwan is allowed to manufacture silicon below 12 inches. Wafer import. At the beginning of this year, the Science and Technology Association of the Science Park Association held a proposal to open a 12-inch silicon wafer imported from China to Taiwan's “International Trade Bureau†on the “pre-production in mainland China†and through the proposal of semiconductor member manufacturers.
Taiwan’s “Ministry of Economic Affairs†held a project review meeting at the end of June. The Semiconductor Industry Association agreed to import, claiming that Taiwan’s 12-inch silicon wafers are in demand more than supply, and global shortages. Under free market competition, if there is no adverse impact, they can agree to import. .
However, silicon wafer manufacturer Tsinghua Shenggao stressed that Taiwan customers are not out of stock at present, and China's silicon wafer fab accepts huge government subsidies. If the rush to open sales to Taiwan will lead to price competition, it will seriously harm Taiwan's blank silicon crystal. Round industry; another manufacturer, Global Wafer, believes that if it considers the import of Chinese mainland products, it is hoped that government units can establish a regular review mechanism or deal with projects to protect the rights of Taiwanese manufacturers.
If the manufacturer has a demand, it can be handled by means of project import.
After the project review meeting, the proposal was retained because there were still objections from the manufacturers. After the next meeting, the manufacturers could handle the project on a case-by-case basis.
According to official sources, after the expansion of Sino-US trade frictions, the United States has set out to target the "Made in China 2025" industry, including semiconductor-related products such as integrated circuits. Although the current 12-inch silicon wafers are out of stock globally, it is difficult to protect the future. After the production capacity of the Chinese factory is opened, it will not be rejected by the United States, and all goods will be dumped to Taiwan.
Taiwan’s “Trade Bureau†said that because the open standards for mainland China’s goods are more rigorous, it is necessary to consult the relevant opinions of Taiwan’s relevant manufacturers before discussing whether it is open. At present, if the manufacturer can apply for import, the Taiwan “Trade Bureau†will be based in Taiwan. Whether there are principles of production, special needs, and a small amount of review.
