State-backed maker of power semiconductors and MOSFETs plus a foundry business for third-party chip designers.
State-backed maker of power semiconductors and MOSFETs plus a foundry business for third-party chip designers.
Is an integrated maker: it designs its own power chips and also runs the factories that make them, selling both finished chips and wafer-manufacturing capacity to outside designers. China Resources, a state-owned conglomerate, controls it.
In one line: China's answer to ON Semiconductor/Infineon in power discretes.
Moat: narrow (scale, distribution, installed base). Backed by state conglomerate China Resources, with an integrated design-and-foundry model in power semiconductors.
