Contract chipmaker Hua Hong Semiconductor has long played second fiddle to China’s national champion Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp in their home base of Shanghai, but US restrictions on advanced technology and Beijing’s yearning for chip self-sufficiency have thrust it into the spotlight.Already listed in Hong Kong, China’s second-largest chip foundry received regulatory approval last month for a $2.5bn secondary listing in Shanghai on the tech-centric Star Market. Most of the funds to be raised are intended for upgrading and expanding its production facilities.
相对于manbetx3.0 的国家冠军企业中芯国际(SMIC),总部同在上海的代工芯片制造商华虹半导体(Hua Hong Semiconductor)长期扮演次要角色,但美国对先进技术的限制以及北京方面对芯片自给自足的渴望使其站到聚光灯下。
