Considerations in Developing Manufacturable IC Technologies

SMIC

Co-CEO

Haijun Zhao

Dr. Haijun Zhao’s presentation will focus on the necessity of our foundry’s commitment to developing IC manufacturing technology and how to collaborate with and support our customers. At present, China’s semiconductor Industry continues to grow and Chinese foundries have risen to join other leading global foundries. To better support customers’ demands for mobile computing, AI, 5G, IoT, cloud, and other areas, foundries should focus on two things: strategic cooperation with customers to develop technologies and building capacity to support customers’ development. As a foundry, SMIC is committed to improving manufacturing capabilities to meet customers’ requirements for differentiated technologies and products. Besides, more overseas players are coming to China to find strategic partners and SMIC is the perfect partner in China for such customers. Our goal is not only to develop advanced technologies, but also to build our brand and expand the scale to support the development of our global customers.
