The design field of the chip industry 8837840 refers to all processes from specification formulation, architecture design to tape-out. Many friends may not know what tape out is. In other words, for chip design, in a simple and popular way, all processes before chip production in the wafer factory belong to the design field. In the chip industry, we call those companies that are only engaged in chip design and do not have other production, packaging and testing businesses as failures or design houses, such as Huawei HiSilicon, Ziguang Zhanrui, ZTE Microelectronics, Bitland, Cambrian, Huiding Technology and Quanzhi in China. Qualcomm and Broadcom in the United States also belong to this category. The company that has both chip business and chip wafer manufacturing business is called IDM (Integrated Device Manufacturing). The domestic company is also one of these enterprises, including Intel in the United States, Samsung and Hynix in South Korea, and Italian and French semiconductors in Italy.
