Nexperia China Says MOSFET, Logic IC Supply Chains Complete as Independent Operations Largely in Place

　　After last year’s control dispute between Wingtech and Nexperia’s Netherlands headquarters sent shockwaves through the industry, Nexperia China now says it has made significant progress in building independent operations. According to EE Times China, Wingtech Chairwoman Ruby Yang announced on May 29 that Nexperia China has largely completed the setup of its independent operating system.　　Yang revealed that Nexperia China’s core management, R&D, and market teams are now fully based in China. The report notes that the company’s capacity and delivery capabilities have steadily recovered, while it continues to build a “China for China, China for Global” full-stack supply chain across wafer manufacturing, packaging and testing, and quality control.　　The announcement comes as Wingtech faces mounting pressure. According to ESM China, the company said on April 29 that its auditor issued a “disclaimer of opinion” on its 2025 financial report, triggering a delisting risk warning under relevant rules.　　Full-Stack Supply Chains Advance Across Key Product Lines　　In terms of product layout, Nexperia China currently covers three core business lines: MOSFETs, logic ICs, and bipolar transistors, including protection devices. Yang said none of the three previously had a fully domestic, full-stack supply chain. However, according to the report, MOSFET and logic IC products have now established such supply chains.　　The bipolar transistor line is being upgraded to a 12-inch platform and is expected to complete its full-stack domestic supply chain within 2026. Bipolar transistors entered small-batch mass production in March 2026, with capacity for protection devices such as ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) and TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) products expected to gradually come online in the second half of 2026, the report notes.　　Under the plan, 19 products are expected to be ready for supply by next month, covering more than 80% of demand, the report adds. Despite the severe supply-chain fallout from last year’s Wingtech-Nexperia control dispute, the report indicates that Nexperia China has maintained large-scale delivery capabilities. Since mid-October 2025, it has shipped more than 11 billion chips to over 800 customers.　　Wingtech Seeks Court Action in Nexperia Control Dispute　　Meanwhile, the battle for control of Nexperia has escalated further. According to South China Morning Post, Wingtech said last week that it had filed a lawsuit in a court in China’s southern Guangdong province against Nexperia and three of its executives. The suit demands the restoration of full corporate control and 8 billion yuan, or US$1.18 billion, in compensation.　　As Bloomberg notes, Wingtech asked the court to order the defendants to stop carrying out or supporting the disputed measures, including by withdrawing legal proceedings in the Netherlands and revoking a Dutch ministerial order issued last September under the Goods Availability Act. If the defendants fail to comply, Wingtech would seek the transfer of Nexperia and related subsidiaries to the company free of charge.

SMIC Founder Says China May Gain Edge in Niche Chips as 80% of Demand Lies Outside Advanced Nodes

　　As China pushes to strengthen its chip industry, Richard Chang, founder of SMIC, China’s largest foundry, suggests that success in semiconductors is not solely about winning the 2nm or 3nm race, with niche markets potentially emerging as a key competitive advantage for China. According to STAR Market Daily, Chang said that niche markets have become a key breakthrough point for China’s semiconductor industry, adding that advancing in specialized market segments could help strengthen the country’s overall chip capabilities.　　SMIC remains limited to the 7nm node due to its reliance on older DUV lithography equipment. However, Richard Chang’s emphasis on niche markets suggests that the company’s mature-node technologies could still find meaningful opportunities across a range of applications, as noted by Wccftech.　　SMIC Founder Highlights Opportunity Beyond Advanced Nodes　　As noted by STAR Market Daily, Richard Chang argued that semiconductor success should not be defined solely by achieving 3nm or 2nm nodes, describing such thinking as a misconception and highlighting niche markets as a key opportunity for China’s chip industry.　　Chang further noted that advanced nodes account for less than 20% of the global semiconductor market by product volume, while more than 80% of demand comes from mature-node and specialty-process segments. According to Chang, many niche markets still dominated by overseas players could represent key breakthrough opportunities for Chinese semiconductor companies.　　The trend may already be emerging across parts of the supply chain. According to TrendForce, with Taiwanese foundries shifting capacity and raising prices, customers in HV processes and CIS applications are increasingly turning to Chinese foundries for more stable pricing and capacity availability. This order migration has been evident since the second half of 2025, driving strong demand for 90 nm-and-above 12-inch wafers among Chinese players.　　Beyond Large Models: Richard Chang Highlights Edge AI Potential　　In addition, Richard Chang argued that edge AI and scenario-driven applications remain underappreciated opportunities within the broader AI landscape. As STAR Market Daily notes, Chang said sectors such as industrial control, automotive electronics, and wearable devices could create strong demand for application-specific semiconductor solutions, offering startups room to pursue differentiated strategies outside direct competition with global AI giants.

China's SiC capacity is expected to account for 50% of the world's share in 2024

　　As reported by Taiwanese media, there’s a gradual uptick in TSMC’s capacity utilization lately, accompanied by a noticeable surge in orders from TSMC’s clients. Some segments of the market are showing signs of rekindled demand, hinting at a possible upswing in the semiconductor industry. Nevertheless, certain semiconductor manufacturing firms remain cautious in their industry outlook.　　TSMC’s Capacity Utilization Rate on the Rise　　Media’s report indicates that TSMC’s capacity utilization rate has gradually recovered. The 7/6nm utilization, which had dropped to 40% at one point, is now around 60% and could potentially reach 70% by the end of the year. Similarly, the 5/4nm utilization is at 75-80%, and the 3nm capacity, which increases seasonally, is approximately 80%.　　Concurrently, TSMC is experiencing a significant uptick in orders from their clients, including tech giants like Apple, MediaTek, NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, Broadcom, Marvell, and STMicroelectronics. Furthermore, AI chip clients such as AMD’s subsidiary Xilinx, Amazon, Cisco, Google, Microsoft, and Tesla have all accepted TSMC’s plan for a price increase in 2024.　　Taking Tesla as an example, they are building a supercomputer facility in Austin to accelerate the development of their autonomous driving system, expanding the computing power of Dojo. The core D1 of Dojo is produced using TSMC’s 7nm process and advanced packaging technology. Based on this, Tesla is deepening its collaboration with TSMC, and it’s expected that their order volume will increase from around 5,000 pieces this year to 10,000 pieces next year.　　Amid the ongoing AI surge, NVIDIA is actively seeking additional production capacity. On October 19th, NVIDIA’s CEO, Jensen Huang, revealed in an interview that the global demand for AI chips remains robust. He has met with TSMC’s CEO, C.C. Wei, to discuss providing more capacity to serve customers. NVIDIA is in the planning stages for the next generation of chips designed for AI-based infrastructure and has also engaged in discussions with partners such as Quanta and ASUS to strategize collaboration.　　Is the Semiconductor Industry on the Rebound?　　During TSMC’s Q3 earnings call, C.C. Wei pointed out that, in addition to strong AI demand, there’s a rebound in demand for smartphones and personal computers. As for automotive electronics, benefiting from the continued growth of electric vehicles, the demand for next year is expected to be quite robust. Regarding when the semiconductor industry might hit bottom, Wei remarked that there are some early signs appearing in the PC and mobile phone sectors. However, it remains challenging to predict a strong resurgence as customers are still cautiously managing their inventories.　　In response to industry concerns about smartphone growth, TSMC’s CFO, Wendell Huang, noted that smartphone growth is anticipated to remain lower than the company’s future growth rate. High-Performance Computing (HPC) is expected to be the most robust growth segment, making substantial contributions to growth in the coming years.　　On the other hand, other semiconductor foundry companies, such as PSMC, have also shared their perspectives on the fourth quarter and future industry developments. Recently, PSMC’s President, Brian Shieh, pointed out that the supply chain’s inventory seems to have reached a reasonable level, with growing demand for mobile panel driver ICs, surveillance system CIS chips, and visibility extending beyond one quarter. Prices for special memory products have started to show an upward trend. Demand for Power Management ICs (PMIC) also displays signs of recovery, even though the trend isn’t as pronounced as that of driver ICs and CIS chips.　　Regarding UMC, the company is scheduled to hold an earning call on 25th October. In their previous earnings call for the last quarter, UMC mentioned that due to ongoing adjustments in the supply chain’s inventory, the outlook for wafer demand remains uncertain. Although the industry glimpsed a modest recovery in the second quarter, the overall sentiment in the end-market remains subdued, and customers continue to maintain stringent inventory management practices.

Qualcomm Initiates Major Layoffs in China, Shanghai R&D Center Closure Rumored

　　According to TechNews, the ongoing soft demand for smartphones, combined with Huawei’s launch of the Mate 60 Pro, has severely impacted Qualcomm. Reports within the Chinese industry suggest that Qualcomm is planning significant layoffs in China, with severance costs estimated to be as high as N+7.　　Based on discussions in Chinese forums and media reports, Qualcomm’s Shanghai R&D center is set to undergo substantial layoffs. This center primarily focuses on wireless-related businesses. The severance standards for permanent employees are at least N+4, which means the employee’s tenure plus an additional 4 months are considered for severance pay. As for contract employees, the severance compensation is set at N+7.　　In fact, Qualcomm announced its downsizing plan in August, with reports suggesting that Qualcomm Taiwan plans to lay off about 200 employees in October. Ths will affect personnel in product engineering, testing, and verification fields, comprising 11.8% of the total workforce. The company is also implementing cost-saving measures such as eliminating annual salary adjustments and reducing bonuses to 70%.　　This downsizing rumor has also extended to China, with reports at the time suggesting that Qualcomm China might lay off up to 40% of its workforce. The main reasons cited were sluggish demand for smartphones and Huawei’s new Kirin processor.　　Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of TF International Securities stated that Huawei is expected to fully adopt its own designed Kirin processors in its upcoming phones next year. Qualcomm will be the major loser in this scenario, losing Huawei’s orders entirely.　　According to Kuo’s data, Huawei purchased 23 to 25 million smartphone SoCs (System on a Chip) from Qualcomm in 2022, but this number increased to 40 to 42 million in 2023. However, starting in 2024, Huawei will use its own chip designs, causing Qualcomm to not only lose orders but also face the risk of declining shipments from other Chinese brand customers due to Huawei’s increased market share.　　Kuo also expects that, influenced by Huawei’s actions, Qualcomm’s SoC shipments to Chinese smartphone brands will decrease by 50 to 60 million units next year and continue to decline in the following years.　　With a significant potential decline in performance in the Chinese market and increasing price competition towards the end of the year, Qualcomm is expected to carry out more layoffs. As of September last year, Qualcomm had approximately 51,000 employees worldwide. The company’s restructuring costs in the last quarter amounted to $285 million, with most of it being severance pay. In June of this year, the U.S. headquarters also reduced around 415 positions.

BYD’s Acquisition of Jabil’s China Factory: Expanding Beyond iPhone Casings into EMS Orders

　　Last month, the primary iPhone casing supplier, American company Jabil, announced that it had reached a preliminary agreement with China’s prominent EMS (Electronic Manufacturing Services) firm, BYD, to sell its Mobile Business Unit for $2.2 billion. The completion of the subsequent transaction will depend on due diligence findings and final agreement terms.　　AMEYA360 analysis reveals that as Jabil’s main focus in its Mobile Business Unit is iPhone casing manufacturing, the successful conclusion of this deal would leave iPhone casing supply primarily in the hands of Chinese and Taiwanese manufacturers, potentially bolstering China’s position in the supply chain.　　Furthermore, BYD’s acquisition of Jabil’s China Metal Business not only marks its formal entry into the iPhone supply chain, expanding its presence, but also signals its aspirations to become a supplier in the iPhone assembly business.　　Jabil’s main production facilities for its Mobile Business Unit are located in Wuxi and Chengdu, China. Wuxi primarily handles iPhone aluminum frame manufacturing, while Chengdu focuses on stainless steel components. This year, the iPhone 15 Pro features a titanium alloy frame for the first time, and Jabil is a key supplier for this component.　　In terms of operational performance, Jabil’s Wuxi facility, due to its smaller scale compared to Foxconn and Lens Tech, and lower product prices, has underperformed expectations. Conversely, Chengdu, responsible for high-end metal components, has superior technical capabilities and better performance.　　Considering Jabil Group’s global footprint and the configuration of its key customer supply chains, the company had been seeking a buyer for some time. Initially, Luxshare was a contender in the acquisition, but a consensus on the purchase price was not reached, leading BYD to secure the deal at a higher price.　　AMEYA360 believes that BYD’s acquisition presents an opportunity to replicate Lens Tech’s experience in acquiring the Catcher’s Taizhou factory in 2020, becoming a direct supplier of iPhone casings. Given Jabil’s involvement in both high-end and low-end iPhone casing businesses, BYD might even be in a position to directly compete with Foxconn for high-end orders. This move would make it difficult for Lens Tech, which still lacks a high-end product line and advanced manufacturing processes, to join the ranks of high-end product suppliers.　　In the long term,AMEYA360 believes that BYD, which is already an iPad EMS supplier, aims to leverage its position in critical components to venture into iPhone EMS business in the future, expanding its EMS business footprint.
