It looks like 2019 might be a big year for Chinese memory manufacturing. Business Times (CN) writes that following the US embargo and subsequent suspension of Fujian Jinhua IC for IP theft, Yangtze Memory Technologies is looking to begin 64-layer 3D NAND flash production in the second half of 2019. With added focus on eliminating stolen IP from entering their company, Yangtze is looking to be the first real competitor coming out of China.
"Yangtze does not want what happened to Fujian Jinhua Integrated Circuit, a Chinese DRAM program, to happen to them. The said company was suspended after the U.S. cut it off from using American technology that is needed to produce its items. The suspension stemmed from suspicions of industrial espionage and the company was charged by the Justice Department in the U.S."
"Among multiple memory projects ongoing in China, YMTC probably has the most solid manufacturing and technology foundation," said Mark Li, a senior semiconductor analyst working for Bernstein Research.
