Smaller size, multi-industry development brings opportunities for chip components

Chip components are the mainstream of the development of electronic components. At present, the chip conversion rate of various electronic components has reached 70%. In various types of complete machine circuits, the ratio of chip components to semiconductor active devices is usually around 20:1 to 50:1. Among them, the ratio of chip components in some high-end electronic products, such as mobile phones and notebook computers, Even higher, sometimes reaching 100:1. In 2005, affected by the international economic environment, my country's chip component import and export trade was active, and the export value of capacitors was US$1.573 billion, a year-on-year increase of 15%. Among them, the export value of chip ceramic capacitors was US$553 million, an increase of 23.69% year-on-year; the export value of chip tantalum electrolytic capacitors was US$147 million, an increase of 70.46%; the export value of chip resistors was US$157 million, an increase of 25.51% year-on-year. In the future, the mainstream products of chip components will gradually transition from 0603 to 0402 or even 0201, and the demand for chip components will continue to grow.

    With the continuous increase of new functions of mobile phones, the combination of mobile phones, consumer electronics, and computers will be the two major trends in the future. Mobile phones will have more development prospects than PCs, and mobile phones will replace PCs as a new stage of technology competition. In response to this change, miniaturized, integrated, high-frequency, and high-capacity electronic components will be widely used, and with the increase in mounting density, the use of chip components will increase significantly. MLCC and Chip on 3G mobile phones -R. The amount of chip inductors will increase sharply, from an average of more than 300 to more than 600, and the amount of chip inductors will double to more than 60, which will bring new value to electronic component suppliers Business.

    The development situation of chip electronic components is the same as the macro situation. From January to September 2008, the export of electronic components all registered positive growth year-on-year. In the second half of the year, as the export growth rate of GSM, GPRS mobile phones, displays and other complete machine products turns from positive to negative, the chip components supporting them will also be impacted. Beginning in October, the import and export of chip components fell sharply year-on-year compared with January-September. In November, the import and export trade of chip components was not immune to double-digit negative growth. Among them, chip ceramic capacitors declined. The amplitude is the largest, all exceeding 40%.

    The accelerated upgrading of chip components, the rise of the passive integration industry and the adjustment of the worldwide industrial structure provide historical opportunities for the development of my country's chip component industry. Seizing these opportunities and investing efforts to research and develop a new generation of chip components and integrated devices with independent intellectual property rights will be the only way for my country to move from a big country in electronic components to a powerful country in electronic components.
