PROVIDE OVERALL SOLUTION FOR SEMICONDUCTOR PACKAGING PROCESS

MCU and PMIC bear the brunt of further extension of chip delivery date

According to the research of Susquehanna Financial Group, the delivery time -- the delay between chip ordering and delivery -- increased by two days last month to 26.6 weeks. Although chip users face longer waiting time again, the growth rate of delivery time is much slower than that in 2021, when many industries were forced to reduce production due to the lack of key components. According to a report by Susquehanna analyst Chris Rolland, the lead time for most chip types has increased, including power management, microcontrollers, analog and memory. He said that the war in Ukraine, the Covid-19 blockade in some parts of China and the earthquake in Japan "will have a short-term impact in the first quarter, but may have a lingering impact on the severely restricted supply chain throughout the year". The global semiconductor shortage began in the first half of 2020, driven by the epidemic driven consumer technology and automobile demand. Semiconductor manufacturers reduced their investment in increasing factory output, and the sudden shortage of chips disrupted the production of all products from smartphones to pickup trucks. It also contributes to inflation by raising supply costs. Chip industry executives warn that some customers will find it difficult to obtain adequate supply until 2023. Intel and other companies have increased the construction of new factories on a large scale, most of which will not be put into production until next year.
