Abstract

In the wake of the declaration made by China's government to make efforts to build an indigenous semiconductor industry in February 2014, SMIC (Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation) - China's leading wafer foundry - and JCET (Jiangsu Changjiang Electronics Technology Co.) - the leading packaging service provider in China - announced that they will jointly build an 12" bumping and testing facility, in which SMIC and JCET holds 51% and 49% stake, respectively. This report points out the reasons behind the SMIC-JCET cooperation and provides in-depth analysis of China's rise and the consequences thereof for the global semiconductor industry.
