November 20, according to the German "Der Spiegel" magazine reported: Ai Siqiang 18 evening announced that China Fujian Hongxin Fund 676 million euros of the tender offer by the United States Foreign Investment Committee (CFIUS) to stop.
By the end of July 2016, Fujian Hongxin Fund to Aisi Jiang issued 676 million euros (65% of the shares) of the offer to pay 6 euros per share. In early September, the German Ministry of Economic Affairs examined and approved the case; however, unexpectedly, the German Ministry of Economic Affairs in a month later withdrew the approval for the acquisition, said the need to re-examine. In this regard, the German "Business Daily" pointed out that the case was stopped because the US intelligence agencies to intervene in the German Chancellor's Office to put pressure on the United States believes that Ai Siqiang products may be used by the Chinese government nuclear projects, will make it safe by the Threat.
Data show that Ai Siqiang is a specialized manufacturer of semiconductor chip manufacturing equipment manufacturer, by RWTH Aachen Institute of semiconductor technology (RWTH Aachen), a member of the Institute of semiconductor technology was founded in 1983. The devices are available for the manufacture of advanced electronic and optoelectronic application components. These components include LED applications, display technology, data storage, data transmission, energy management and transformation, communications, signal and lighting technology and other cutting-edge technology. In this case,
In recent years, Chinese enterprises in overseas acquisitions set off a wave, especially the preference for German enterprises. According to the German Federal M & A General Manager Ma Kurig said: "Up to now, Germany has about 200 companies have been mergers and acquisitions in China in the enterprises interested in Germany is mainly automobile manufacturing, machinery manufacturing industry, the electronics industry, Injection molding industry, Chinese enterprises are also very interested.
As part of a computer or other electronic device, the chip is generally referred to as all the electronic components, is a collection of a variety of electronic components on the silicon board to achieve a specific function of the circuit module. Chip size is very small, the role is very important, is the most important part of all electronic devices. If the CPU CPU analogy as the heart of the entire computer system, then the chipset on the motherboard is the whole body of the trunk. For the motherboard, the chipset is almost decided that the function of this motherboard, thus affecting the performance of the entire computer system play. Can be said that the chipset is the soul of the motherboard. In this case,
In fact, the Chinese chip maker is not nothing. In recent years, a large number of semiconductor companies represented by HiSilicon, especially IC design companies, have achieved good results in recent years due to China's huge market. Benefit from the huge sales of Huawei mobile phones, coupled with the performance of video decoding chip tough, the leading domestic Huawei HiSys annual revenue reached about 22.1 billion. Tsinghua Unisplendour Spreadtrum, in recent years, a strong performance in the communications technology, stable domestic IC design firm second position.
However, Chinese companies want to buy "Ai Siqiang" of other semiconductor companies to upgrade their core technology breakthrough surrounded, it seems unrealistic. According to the global economic development of the semiconductor industry, the status quo of China's chip manufacturing industry in China may not be suitable for the industry in full swing, but should focus on the relative strength of two breakthroughs. On the one hand, China's chip manufacturers need to narrow the gap between the process and advanced, including the realization of 28-nanometer production and accelerate to 16/14 nm and below the R & D process; the other hand, to expand the mature process of market share, or In the "super Moore" has made a contribution.
Previously, China worried about China's purchase of chips for weapons design, the United States strictly limit the export of high-performance semiconductors to China, which makes China forced to use their own research and development supercomputer CPU "Shenwei Taihu light." Have to say, China's computer-related industries from the initial toddler is now surrounded by heavy self-improvement is not easy.
