中国半导体行业历史及现状

A change of pace for the semiconductor industry?

2 Structure of the study

This study consists of four parts. The first part (chapter B) starts with an article

by Peter Bauer, CEO of Infineon Technologies AG, on prospects in the semi-

conductor industry. This is followed by a market overview, which analyses the

value chain, the business models and the competitive environment. In the

analysis of the competition, we use selected parameters to detail special

features and mechanisms of the individual business models.

Chapter C deals with technology and technology trends. The technology drivers

production, feature size, functionality and wafer diameter are used to examine

the current state of technology and discuss expected developments.

Chapter D shows our market forecasts until 2012, broken down according to

applications, components and regions.

Chapter E, the fourth and final part, offers our conclusion and provides an

overview beyond the period covered by the study. Summary
