I have interacted with the people working among such companies they are still trying to develop an export grade IC. Not very successful. They are used in some low grade calC or toys
Sir, I believe you have been misled. This are lot of Chinese and Taiwanese design houses designing state of art chips.
Chinese Example : Allwinner Technology, Actions Semiconductor, Leadcore Technology, Rockchip, Spreadtrum, Nufront, Quectel, Ingenic Semiconductor, etc.
Tiwanese Example : MediaTek, Realtek, Nuvoton, Silicon Integrated Systems, Siliconware Precision Industries, VIA Technologies, MStar, Global Unichip Corporation, etc.
Those companies emerge as startups and endup in loss or sold to some other firm. They are at very very early stage.
That is the fate of 99% of startups regardless of country.
These are known as pure play foundries which I already mentioned. They are not IDMs
Eg:TSMC is pure play fab where as IBM is integrated device manufacturing ( design and manufacture) as you said Fabless
Kindly refer my first point.
What you are talking about are IDM's/Fabless they are known as so. They are not pure play foundries.
The pure play foundries were shifted to Electronic Economic corridor which is yet to be built.
You can RTI, there is full fledge report why they were not being set in Bangalore etc, one reason is lack of clean water due to pollution. Only designing firms are there.
Do you know there are several pharmaceutical plants located in/near Bangalore. Won't they also face same problem yet they are operating (exporting) medicine.
The area where the fabs are located have extremely low air pollution, even the TSMC pollution monitor officials in North Taiwan work towards controlling the air pollution in the city. You can check on internet.
Totally incorrect statement. Kindly find our more about Tianjin and Shenzhen.
Ground reality is quite different.
The companies don't take chance they have maintained standards..and this is why they did not put their plants they simply said NO.
You cannot tell the these rhetoric.
Pollution has nothing to do with production or designing. You can always control environment, purify water.
The only reason we don't have semi-conductor industry is because we don't have a market.
