Korean industry minister Bai Yunkui (Paik Un-gyu) on Monday (30) visited the main semiconductor production line of 005930-KR and 000660-KR, and vowed to invest 1 trillion and 500 billion won ($1 billion 340 million) in the next 10 years to strengthen the competitiveness of South Korean semiconductors.

Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) announced 2, global semiconductor sales in May 2018 was US $38 billion 700 million. Compared with the previous month, sales increased by 3% in May. Compared with the same period last year, sales surged by 21%.

In order to strengthen the core technology competitiveness of the Taiwan semiconductor industry in the artificial intelligent terminal (AI Edge), Taiwan science and technology minister Chen Liangji announced the launch of the "semiconductor shooting plan" on 28 days. The Ministry of science and technology will invest 1 billion NT dollars for 4 years in a row, and invites scholars and industries to invest in artificial intelligence chips, new semiconductor manufacturing processes, Memory and information security, forward-looking sensing, four major spindles, and expect Taiwan to become a key zero component supplier and talent pool in the world's AI terminal in 2022.

In the first quarter of 2018, the global semiconductor industry achieved sales of US $115 billion 800 million. Even if the total revenue of the semiconductor industry fell a bit in the quarter, the NAND market still created the second highest quarterly revenue in history, with the strongest demand from enterprises and the consumer solid state disk (SSD) market.

Across multiple electronic applications, the world's leading semiconductor provider Italy semiconductor is accelerating the development of the mobile network to a more convenient and secure interconnected world. It is the first certificate to be approved by the GSMA Association, to be approved for the pre installation of the embedded SIM (eSIM) chip and the operator's configuration documents. ESIM manufacturer.

Driven by the development of new technology, such as the Internet of things, artificial intelligence, data center, virtual reality / augmented reality, the demand of all kinds of semiconductor products is increasing, and the growth of the global semiconductor equipment industry is also promoted.

According to Korea BusinessKorea Beijing time reported on June 9th, Samsung Electronics continues to maintain its leading position in the global semiconductor market this year. As the growth of Intel (55.05, -0.83, -1.49%) slows down and the memory chip market is booming, Samsung Electronics is likely to dominate the semiconductor industry for second years in a row.

The semiconductor industry is still in the upscale cycle of the cycle, and the IC insight survey, a market investigative agency, said the capital expenditure of the global semiconductor industry in 2018 would break through the hundreds of billions of dollars.

A Morimi semiconductor has announced the acquisition of SensL Technologies Ltd (hereinafter referred to as "SensL"). The acquisition is expected to immediately increase the non GAAP (Non-GAAP) earnings per share of A Morimi semiconductor. SensL, headquartered in Ireland, is a technical leader for the automotive, medical, industrial and consumer markets for silicon photomultiplier (SiPM), single photon avalanche diode (SPAD) and LiDAR (LiDAR) sensing products.

Sina U. S. Stock News 24 Beijing time news agency reported that South Korea's top two semiconductor giants Samsung Electronics and SK helix in the first quarter of this year is happy, and it is expected to promote the semiconductor industry again this year to become the leader of South Korea's export.
