<span style='color:red'>China</span>'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 <span style='color:red'>China</span>, 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 <span style='color:red'>China</span> 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.

AMEYA360:ASML Ban Affects <span style='color:red'>China</span>’s Advancement in Chips
  As part of an agreement between the U.S. government, the Netherlands, and Japan, ASML, Nikon, and Tokyo Electron won’t be supplying their high-end photolithography equipment to Chinese companies.  According to the Wall Street Journal, “the Netherlands will bar ASML Holding NV, a Dutch maker of photolithography machines, from selling to China at least some immersion lithography machines, the most advanced kind of gear in the company’s deep ultraviolet lithography line.”  ASML manufactures all of the world’s extreme ultraviolet lithography machines, which are critical for producing cutting-edge semiconductors.  China could easily circumvent the export bans for advanced semiconductors, as it has been doing for many years. Acquiring huge lithography machines is much more difficult, and making them from scratch is nearly impossible. Furthermore, only a few hundred of those machines are sold every year, making it much easier to control their destination.  ASML bans chip making equipment to China  It is unknown how much of that critical equipment has already been sold to China and what capacity Chinese companies already have to produce the most advanced semiconductors.  While China is unlikely to have the technology to produce sub-10nm chips, it is already investing in new fabs. Currently, only Taiwan’s TSMC can produce 5nm technology. To do that, it requires the advanced lithography machines that ASML has.  Lithography in the U.S.  A lithography system is a projection system. Light is projected through a blueprint of the pattern to print (known as a ‘mask’ or ‘reticle’). This process will be repeated 100 times or more, laying patterns on top of patterns to make a complete microchip.  This crucial technology was discovered in 1957 by Jay Lathrop and James Nall, of the U.S. Army’s Diamond Ordnance Fuse Laboratories in Maryland. They patented the photolithographic techniques used to deposit thin-film metal strips about 200 micrometers wide to connect discrete transistors on a ceramic substrate.  In 1959 Lathrop joined Texas Instruments, and Nall went to Fairchild Semiconductor. In 1958, engineers at Fairchild built one of the first “step-and-repeat” cameras to easily copy and multiply transistors on a single wafer using photolithography.  In the early 1980s, GCA Corp. was considered the worldwide leader in photolithography and celebrated as one of the “hottest high-technology companies.” They invented the wafer stepper (the step-and-repeat camera), a device similar to a slide projector or a photographic enlarger, enabling further reductions in chip size. It was the first technology to exceed the 1-micron limit.  At the time, Japanese competitors Nikon and Canon were catching up quickly and making bold technological investments. While American lithography companies were holding back in capital expenditures until they had a deal with semiconductor manufacturers, the Japanese worked hand-in-hand with them to define roadmaps and coordinate the delivery of new equipment.  “It was impossible to make semiconductors without lithography tools, but the only remaining U.S. producers were struggling to survive,” wrote Chris Miller in Chip War: The Fight for the World’s Most Critical Technology.  In 1993, after receiving at least $60 million in funds from the government-backed Sematech consortium, GCA closed its factory in Massachusetts as it could not compete with ASML, Nikon, and Canon.  ASML can’t meet demand  While other lithography manufacturers can print 10nm patterns, ASML’s EUV (extreme ultraviolet) technology enables the scale of the smallest feature to be reduced below that limit. That’s why they hold 100 percent of the market for the most advanced lithography machines.ASML Ban Affects China&#8217;s Advancement in Chips  Recently, ASML reported revenues of $23 billion and $6.05 billion in net income for FY2022. The Dutch company sold 317 new and 28 used lithography systems to their customers. They expect an increase of 25 percent in net sales for FY2023.  “For 2023, ASML expects continued strong growth with a net sales increase of more than 25 percent and a slight improvement in gross margin, relative to 2022. We expect first-quarter net sales between €6.1 billion and €6.5 billion with a gross margin between 49 percent and 50 percent,” said ASML President and CEO Peter Wennink.  The new restrictions on exporting equipment to China won’t hurt the company’s bottom line, as the demand from Taiwan, Europe, and the U.S. will continue to grow.  China might retaliate  Chip-making equipment is critical for China’s ambitions to lead in artificial intelligence and quantum computing technologies.  While it would be possible for large Chinese companies to source state-of-the-art chips and build new systems abroad, not being able to design and manufacture advanced semiconductors in mainland China is a step back in their ambitions.  The Chinese government has not issued any comment yet on the new restrictions, but it will likely react. One possibility is trade restrictions on Western businesses.

AMEYA360:A Refutation of “<span style='color:red'>China</span>’s Underground Market of Chips Draws Desperate Automakers” by Bloomberg 2
  In China, cars are basically standardized products when they leave the factory. In order to meet the personalized and diversified needs of car owners, there is a huge "car aftermarket", namely 4S stores, maintenance stations, and modification plants, where automobile enthusiasts can modify or add some products into their vehicles. Products in the aftermarket do not have to pass the vehicle regulations. These parts will never change the core electronic components or interfere with the car safety, as they belongs to peripheral products. I did a survey and found that most so-called car chips speculated in Huaqiangbei belong to this category! They do not belong to the ABS, ESP, and other parts asserted by Bloomberg in the article!  Introduction to Slkor in Chinese and English  III.Inspection of electronic components  I, SONG Shiqiang, as a stall economist in Huaqiangbei and the General Manager of Kinghelm and Slkor, explored some rules by using the basic theories of "Kondratieff waves" and "Fiboracci Arc" in Macroeconomics. With due consideration of the effect of the cyclical constraints of the electronic component industry, functions of the electronic component reservoir in sales order configuration, I found out some rules of electronic business in Huaqiangbei. Once I had drunk too much in Huaqiangbei, I spoke the knack out in bragging.         A businesswoman heard about my elucidation on the knack and was consequently enlightened. She followed the ways and means proposed in the elucidation in her speculation and made much profit worth several Bentley cars. She even sent a Bentley model to me to express her gratitude. Businesswomen in Huaqiangbei sighed with astonishment that in addition to writing jokes and advertisement, Mr. SONG from Kinghelm also knew a lot about stall business in Huaqiangbei, "How I wish to meet him  before my speculation rather than after that". One day, I was having tea with businesswomen in Huaqiangbei to do a pre-sale roadshow for my new book “Guide to Speculation in Huaqiangbei”. I accidentally saw a boss throwing a package of glittering items into the trash can behind a small counter. I picked the package up because I enjoy learning. I found it was a package of thin objects covered with a thin layer of blue film! Later, I asked experts of the industry and knew that they were wafer scraps with demerits sold to Huaqiangbei at lower prices from wafer fabs.           Afterthese wafer scraps are sealed and tested, they become electronic components sold in counters and stalls in Huaqiangbei. If you want to trace the brand, model, or even the production date, you can find a professional testing company for help. If you need a testing authority, the No. 5th Research Institute of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (CEPREI) in Guangzhou is recommended. In contrast, White Horse Laboratories is a more convenient choice. Additionally, 360IC also has a lab similar to this. By chance, I found ways and means to test electronic components. For problems arising out of the electronic components, causes of problems should be analyzed. If there are disputes, all responsibilities should be clearly defined, or some information should be traced and confirmed. Then the test and inspection of electronic components will play a role.  For example, a testing company has advanced ultrasonic testing equipment capable of doing non-destructive tests widely applied in material test, failure analysis, Research and Development (R&D), Quality Assurance and Reliability (QA/REL) tests. Items can be inspected include electronic components, LEDs, metal substrates, cracks, delamination, cavities and other irregularities. The image contrast can be used to identify the internal impedance anomalies of materials, to determine the shape and size of defects, and to determine the positions of defects. I observed wafer scraps mentioned above with a 1000x magnifying instrument lent from a friend of mine. They were found memory chip made by TSMC with models and capacity specifications clearly visible! Of course, the conventional opening, sol, electrical performance testing, sealing material testing, and sealing process analysis are all available. After this comprehensive test, similar to four ways of diagnosis --looking, listening, inquiring and feeling the pulse practiced by a doctor trained in the traditional Chinese medicine and blood test practiced by a doctor trained in the western medicine, the DNA result reveal the parents of a child clearly!  Test results of wafer scraps found in Huaqiangbei  What I want to state here under my name SONG Shiqiang from Kinghelm and Slkor is that in procurement of expensive chips especially those for vehicle use from Huaqingbei, the test report from the professional lab is prerequisite for the issuance of a Purchase Order from a customer for both samples and small batches. A buyer with rich procurement experience in Huaqiangbei knows the origin of a chip, the level of processing of a chip and stage of modifying for a chip through visual inspection with his naked eyes. That is why I was shocked by the simplicity involved in buying chips for vehicle use described in the article by Bloomberg easier than blowing a whistle. Too much emphasis on the importance of customer relationship in the article revealed a blurred business image in Huaqiangbei that is far away from real business practice. The prerequisite for business in Huaqiangbei is the stock available and the same stock with authenticity!
