If someone is going to invest 1bln € in a chip factory, you will need more than just defense customers to make it worthwhile.

The cost of a lapse in national security in times of crisis (look up the Iranian fiasco with their assassinated scientists and generals) would be comfortably more than $1 billion.

$1 billion spent for national security pays back in tangible and intangible ways.

This is the semiconductor technology that Israel has developed until now!

Where did you get this infographic from?

Apart from TowerJazz and Intel, are there any other wafer fabs in operation over there? I do not know of any.

Is this infographic on TowerJazz developed technology nodes? I believe they acquired a few fabs in Japan and the USA where more advanced technology nodes are produced.

Most wafer fab capacity is located in East Asia and the USA (titled North America here).

Taiwan Edges South Korea as Largest Base for IC Wafer Capacity

China capacity expansion forecast to push the country into second place in the regional rankings in 2022, trailing only Taiwan in size.

www.design-reuse.com

To clarify what the data represents, each regional number is the total installed monthly capacity of fabs located in that region regardless of the headquarters location for the companies that own the fabs. For example, the wafer capacity that South Korea-based Samsung has installed in the U.S. is counted in the North America capacity total, not in the South Korea capacity total. The ROW “region” consists primarily of Singapore, Israel, and Malaysia, but also includes countries/regions such as Russia, Belarus, and Australia.

The most complicated technologies, arguably, involve logic ICs. Microprocessors FPGA and such.

TowerJazz to the best of my knowledge has no presence in the sector,

 

[what]

I know its in German, but it shows the process and the leading companies in each step of the process currently.

 

[ekemenirtu]

As a side note Çakıl is initially being produced by a Taiwanese foundry and the specs can be higher than the Yital in-house production.

That is totally fine for beginners.

Taiwanese foundries have cornered the market.

Even China with its massive 1400 million people can not find adequate trained talent for their wafer foundries and need to poach Taiwanese and Korean engineers.

India, Brazil, Indonesia, Iran, Turkey, Pakistan, Mexico or Vietnam are completely out of the reckoning.

For complete beginners, it is fine to have Taiwanese foundries fabricate the chips.

The number of chip manufacturers in accordance to manufacturing processes. Competition at upper leagues are deadly and A few institutes can stay on elite league in this sector.

View attachment 7248

BTW, Chinese SMIC joined into elite’s league with 14nm tech but ~80 of the chip and microwave market is dominated by a single institute in upper league.Taiwanese TSMC. They have reached 3nm production process.

I see no Micron.

TSMC was founded by Morris Chang, quite a legend in his own way. Born in Mainland China.

The irony is China lacks adequate number of trained talent in the sector and needs to poach Taiwanese and Korean engineers.

Extremely high costs of developing more advanced technology nodes prevents more competitors from staying in the market. It is equally true for many other industries.

How many wide body passenger aircraft manufacturers are there? How many high bypass turbofan manufacturing companies remain today? How many low bypass turbofan manufacturers are competitive today? How many search engines dominate the global search engine market? How many companies dominate social media and mass media?

How many companies are in the business of manufacturing nuclear powered submarines and aircraft carriers today?

"Industrial organization" explains why and how these events occur.

 

[ekemenirtu]

I dont want to be that guy but do we have any project on nanometer CNC machines. Its as important as chip itself. Only three country can produce this machines and its USA, Japan and Netherlands. And they dont sell this machines to china. And Huawei cant produce chips in home country. They make it taiwan.

beside that, This is still hell of a development.

Only three companies produce photolithography equipment.

They are Canon, Nikon and ASML (formerly Philips, I believe).

Two of them from Japan, one from Netherlands.

The laser source for these equipment comes from Gigaphoton Inc of Japan or Cymer Inc of the USA.

One reason there are very few players in the market is the market size.

Annual market for photolithography machinery is worth no more than a few $billion.

Each photolithography machine may cost more than $100 m.

When the annual global demand for these systems is only a few pieces, not many suppliers can survive in the market.

 

[ekemenirtu]

Isn't that called photolithography, I wonder if South Korea has their own.

China, Korea and Taiwan are net importers of this type of equipment.

Japan, NL, the USA are net exporters of this type of equipment.

It is produced in Malaysia, not Taiwan.

It is produced in Malaysia, not Taiwan.

An agreement was announced with a company that has invested $ 1.6 billion to produce chips in Malaysia. Under the cooperation of Pakistan, Turkey, Indonesia will carry out joint production. 2-sentence summary.

National rail system collaboration institute (TÜRASAŞ) will reveal National high speed train and metro train sets until 2023.

National locomotives will pass into production in 2022.

National EMU (160km/h) will pass into production in 2021.

 

[Cabatli_TR]

The institute is developing 8 cylinder min 1200hp diesel engine prototypes for trains.


This is the 6cylinder 1000hp engine developed by Tülomsaş (3 big institutes (Tülomsaş, Tüvasaş and Tüdemsaş) working in rail system technologies formed a strong collaboratiom under the roof of Türasaş at present.

How different are these engines from the engines for armored vehicles? Bigger?

 

[Test7]

Bozankaya firm was set to work to produce Turkey's first indigenous subway. It will be designed and produced in the company's Ankara facilities. It was announced that 28 metro vehicle contracts were signed and the delivery of the vehicles will begin in the last quarter of 2022. It will be approximately 90 meters long and have a capacity of at least 1,080 passengers.

Bozankaya announced last year that it signed a contract with the Romanian Municipality of Iaşi to supply 16 trams with a total value of approximately 30 million Euros.

How different are these engines from the engines for armored vehicles? Bigger?

Probably larger and heavier for the same power.

In order to improve the properties of steel parts used in the automotive industry, using the electrochemical based boring method developed by the project team, it can be used as a final product with high wear resistance, high hardness, self-lubrication, impact absorption, high performance new generation boronized steel parts with fully national resources and technologies. High-alloy steels are used in automotive, especially in cases where friction, corrosion, wear are in question (gear gear, piston segment, valves, etc.) and for flat parts where impact resistance is required, and additionally costly surface treatments (chrome plating, carburizing, nitriding, stellite etc.) are applied. In the project, the surfaces of relatively inexpensive steel parts used in mid-low segment cars and due to the material composition are modified with KRTD-Boron (Cathodic-Reduction Thermal-Diffusion Method Boring) method to develop new products that provide high performance and service life and design is the main goal. It is predicted that the iron boride (FeBX x? 0.5) layers to be formed on the selected steel surfaces will increase the service life and performance as a result of the preliminary studies and literature data. metal boride MeXBY compounds (Me: Metal X, Y? 0,5) are formed on the surface by penetrating inside with the effect of heat. National KRTD-Boron is fast (minimum 8 times), economical (5-100 times depending on the number of cycles) according to the foreign-patented box / pie boring method that is dominant in the world. Considering these advantages, the obstacle (high cost and long processing times) in the spread of boring technology is overcome with KRTD-Boron. Thus, the use of boron in our country and in the world will increase. Our country will provide a competitive advantage in this expanding market by using the national method in the production of end products with high added value and its own boron reserves. The new generation boron automotive parts have a high commercialization potential with the breakthroughs in the automotive sector in our country in recent years. As an example of the economic return of the project, the annual consumption of the engine-valves produced by imported or licensed is 870x106 pieces. (1.11x109 Euros). With the boron steels to be developed as a result of the project, it will be possible to become a technology leader in this and similar product market.
