Although global semiconductor market downturn, but in 2011 the Chinese IC industry achieved 9.7% of the small increase, it benefited from China's integrated circuit industry explore the domestic market to get rid of downturn.

Why China Lighten Global Semiconductor Market
In 2011 the global semiconductor market scale is for $300.94 billion, and last year the global semiconductor industry
development suffered resistance, trapped in Japan earthquake Thailand floods, most structure of the global semiconductor
market share slowed down, only discrete components and sensor has certain growth. After the economic crisis and the weak
economic development, emerging market countries generally were under inflation state, semiconductor need go out of trouble.
In addition, semiconductor manufacturers in the financial crises of the investment to expand capacity of inverse city market
effect was released focused on the 2011, market slowing demand, manufacturing excess capacity led directly to the price
reducing and DRAM product prices suffer most. Global memory giants-Japan's Elpida also could not hold up finally, in
February 2012 it declared bankruptcy.

benefited from China's integrated circuit industry explore the domestic market to get rid of downturn. In the product structure,
EKC
memory is still the largest share of the products, accounting the market share of 21.3% in 2011. And compared with 2010, the
SE
market share drop nearly 3%. The reasons is that 2011 the price of DRAM, which takes a large market share in the memory of
product structure dropped, the mainstream PC DRAM product price once fell by more than 50%, leading to the second half of
2011 each big memory manufacturers reducing capacity production.
In application structure, computer, communication, and consumer electronics are still the main application market of the IC
market, the three combined together accounted for the overall market of 87.5% market share. From the development speed to
see, IC card application market replaced the previour fast growth car t electronic market, become 2011 the first China market
growth integrated circuit segments of the market. The computer class IC market in 2011 continued the first few years of the
growth trend, with the market growth of 9.2%.
In the next few years, if the global economy does not appear fluctuations, smooth, small growth mode will be the next few
years the market trend development of China's integrated circuit, the market in the next several years of growth will remain in
the 9% or so. The development of market main driving force is still mainly from PC, mobile phone, liquid crystal TV and other
ENTS
big producers of electronic products. In addition, emerging market growth in the future will be the one of the factors to promote
PON
market growth. Content online, cloud computing, new energy, semiconductor lighting, medical electronics and security

electronics and other emerging areas of development, will be China integrated circuit market new driving force, MID, portable
SE
intelligent products, intelligent instrument and energy control and other new products to the market influence will be increasing,
these and other emerging electronic product market will also be on certain level to promote the development of the
semiconductor market.
What’s more, recently, the global chip heavyweights giant, including QUALCOMM, nVidia, TI has launched four nuclear and
multi nuclear chip, it is worth noting that, Intel and Microsoft decided to tap into communication market together, which will
benefit the Taiwan semiconductor manufacturers, ASE for high-end process layout of the leading technology, will hopefully to
be benefit.
In the smart phone market, chip manufacturers are developing through high-end market development, but also the front
extends to tablet computer market, qualcomm uses ARM architecture into S4 chip tablet PC market, Intel is developing to the
direction of high efficiency, low cost with AtomZ2460 processor (with 32 nm), and it will support Android system. As for
Microsoft, it launches Windows8 dramas, location for the mobile world innovation platform, and can be used in x86 and ARM
architecture, and synchronous support Tablet, NB, DT and other products, to hope further unified PC and flat equipment

operation system, the Microsoft can use existing PC system, the consumer and the PC industry, to expand the use of
equipment flat experience.
From chip manufacturer actively introduce high-end product trend, for 28 nm advanced processing demand also synchronous
raising temperature, TSMC in 28 nanotechnology layout to lead points, and it benefits the biggest degree, and with the main
seal factory including ASE, all can benefit from.
