WEBINAR’S PROGRAM

• Power SiC
  The electrification of China’s automotive park is skyrocketing, with more than 20% of vehicles produced based on BEV platforms. Chinese players are gaining market share at the SiC wafer and epiwafer levels, and significant capacity is planned in the coming five years. For example, more than 40% of the total SiC wafer capacity in 2027 will be from China. Many regions in China are currently developing SiC businesses. More than US$1.5 billion in investments has been announced in SiC in China since 2022.
  Speaker: Poshun Chiu, Senior Technology & Market Analyst, Compound Semiconductor & Emerging Substrates at Yole Intelligence
• Computing
  The automotive ADAS/AD processor market is rapidly growing, with a CAGR of around 20%, and China is eager to be part of it. Tesla FSD HW4, Apple A17, HiSilicon 9000s: advanced computing chips are providing incredible performance with advanced nodes, and China intends to stay in the game. In a more than US$180 billion processor market, whether for consumer, automotive, or data center, China is investing heavily to reduce its dependence on foreign semiconductor technologies.
  Speakers: Ying-Wu Liu, Technology & Cost Analyst, Yole SystemPlus, and Adrien Sanchez, Senior, Technology & Market Analyst, Computing & Software
• Memory
  Combined stand-alone NAND and DRAM sales to China were worth around US$138 billion in 2022, corresponding to around 32% of all NAND and DRAM sales worldwide. Chinese players are developing and adopting hybrid bonding interconnection technology as an alternative to dimensional scaling. DRAM-Logic Integration: logic die and DRAM die bonded together through copper-to-copper hybrid bonding to increase chip bandwidth.
  Speaker: Simone Bertolazzi, Principal Technology & Market Analyst, Memory at Yole Intelligence.
• Semiconductor packaging
  The total revenue of the top ten Chinese OSATs grew 8% from 2021 to 2022, from US$11.4 billion to US$12.2 billion. Chinese OSATs are mainly focusing on mid-end Advanced Packaging platforms and targeting high-end technologies for the future. Significant investments by mainland China’s OSATs of more than US$4 million have been announced.
  Speaker: Yik Yee Tan, Ph.D., Senior Market & Technology Analyst, Semiconductor Packaging & Assembly at Yole Intelligence.
• Wafer Fab Equipment
  Substantial WFE revenue growth is expected in the areas where China invests: mature foundries, specialty and advanced packaging/OSATs. In terms of technology for >28 nm production, several WFE makers can already replace international equipment, but production capacities are limited.
  Speaker: Taguhi Yeghoyan, Senior Technology & Market Analyst, Semiconductor Equipment, Subsystems, and Testing
