ICC news Russia's semiconductor chips are heavily dependent on imports. In the last half year, it also suffered from chip panic. In the future, it can only strengthen domestic chip production. For this reason, Mikron, the country's largest semiconductor factory, received 7 billion rubles, about 800 million yuan, in subsidies to expand semiconductor production capacity.
according to foreign media reports, the Russian state-owned group veb RF provided Mikron with this life-saving money, but this subsidy is not free. In essence, it is more like a loan, requiring Mikron to use the equipment as collateral, and the repayment period is 10 years.
Mikron is the largest microelectronic manufacturer, chip manufacturer and importer in Russia. It mainly produces integrated circuits, electronic components and other products. Its exports can account for more than 50% of Russia's Microelectronic exports, which has a great impact.
Mikron's current semiconductor production can produce 180nm to 90nm chips, which is not advanced compared with other wafer factories and can not be used in mobile phones, computers and other equipment, but it is still possible to meet some special chips, such as the Mir national payment system developed by Russia itself. It is possible to use their chips for smart card chips.
at present, Mikron's main problem is lack of capacity. The monthly wafer output is only 6000, and expanding production requires a large amount of capital and equipment support
