National Silicon Industry’s Monthly Production Capacity of 300 mm Silicon Wafer Exceeding 250,000 Pieces

SHANGHAI, Aug 31 (SMM) - National Silicon Industry released its 2021 semi-annual report on August 27. The report showed that the company achieved revenue of 1.12 billion yuan in H1 2021, a year-on-year increase of 31.44%, with net profit attributable to the parent company at 105 million yuan.

The net profit attributable to the parent company excluding non-recurring gains and losses was negative 76.53 million yuan, and the loss was further narrowed compared with the same period last year.

According to the company, the revenue rose because the semiconductor demand was strong in the first half of the year, and its income from 300 mm semiconductor silicon wafer increased significantly with higher production capacities. The higher revenue and expanded gross profit margin made up the deficits and brought surpluses to the company.

The semi-annual report shows that National Silicon’s subsidiary company Zingsemi has achieved the production capacity of 300 mm semiconductor silicon wafer at 250,000 pieces/month.

National Silicon’s capacity utilisation rate of the 200 mm and below products (including SOI wafers) remains at a high level, and the capacity utilisation rate and shipments of 300mm wafers have increased significantly. As of the end of H1, the company has shipped more than 3 million large 300mm silicon wafers.

In response to the strong downstream demand, the company keeps expanding its production capacity.

During the reporting period, the company’s fixed increase of 5 billion yuan project has passed the review of the Shanghai Stock Exchange and entered the registration stage of the China Securities Regulatory Commission. Zingsemi’s production capacity of 300 mm silicon wafer will be expanded from 300,000 pieces/month to 600,000 mt/month.
