China’s semiconductor output jumps 40% in first quarter amid growing dominance in legacy chips
US exports control could unintentionally lead to a Chinese dominance of global legacy-chip production, researchers say.
The output has soared thanks partly to strong demand from downstream sectors, such as new energy vehicles and smartphones US exports control could unintentionally lead to a Chinese dominance of global legacy-chip production, researchers say China’s total integrated circuit (IC) output surged 40 per cent to 98.1 billion units in the first quarter, a sign that the country is expanding its production of older-generation chips while being constrained by US trade restrictions on advanced chip-making equipment. “An unintended consequence of US export controls on advanced chip technology to China may be a wave of state-backed investment leading to overproduction and, potentially, Chinese dominance of global legacy-chip production,” researchers wrote.
