Memory ushers in a new era
Since the semiconductor memory was launched more than 30 years ago, it has undergone a change, and today it has ushered in a new era. The demand for storage "bit" will be expanded infinitely. In 1971, Intel Corporation developed 1Kb DRAM, which opened up the history of DRAM. In the 1970s, American companies became the world's best. In the 1980s, the large-scale computer market expanded and DRAM technology requirements were very strong. As an opportunity, Japanese DRAM companies took the time. DRAM technology requirements are lower, the winning and losing lies in mass production technology, which is the strength of Japanese companies. The United States turned to a higher-tech MPU represented by Intel. Therefore, the 1980s became the golden age of the Japanese semiconductor industry. In the medium term, Japan not only monopolizes 80% of the world's DRAM market share, but also surpasses the United States in the semiconductor industry as a whole, accounting for half of the country.
The world entered the 1990s, the mainframe sales were weak, and the PC was hot, which caused another huge change in DRAM production. Japan produced high-quality DRAM, which was guaranteed to work for 25 years, but the quality requirements of PC for DRAM were not so high, and reducing costs and increasing production were the key to success. South Korea and Taiwan's region have been riding in this situation. In 1998, South Korea rushed over Japan and became the world's number one DRAM producer. There are three ways to win in South Korea, namely, business, strategy and cost competition.
iSuppli predicts that in 2006, the world will produce 11.4 billion DRAMs in 256Mb DRAMs. In 2007, it will reach 18.5 billion. In 2010, it is expected to grow to 62.6 billion. The average annual growth rate from 2006 to 2010 is 53. %. The company also said that the world's DRAM production value in 2006 will be 33.9 billion US dollars, and will reach 45.7 billion US dollars in 2010, with an average annual growth rate of 7.7%.
Derek Lidon, CEO of iSuppli, predicted at the digital forum in Seoul, South Korea that China/Taiwan will surpass South Korea in the future. In 2006, South Korea's DRAMs, represented by Samsung and Hynix, accounted for 45% of production in the world market, while China/Taiwan's production accounted for 17%. In 2007, South Korea continued to increase to 47%, mainland China/Taiwan accounted for 31%, and other regions accounted for 22%. However, the gap will gradually narrow from 2008, when China/Taiwan will increase to 35%, South Korea will be slightly reduced to 46%, and it is expected that the 2010 original may surpass the latter in production.
Since the DRAM market collapsed in 1996 to 2001, the semiconductor equipment investment protagonist is represented by Intel as a microchip manufacturer. However, since 2002, the microchip processing technology has gradually approached the limit, and the proportion of memory investment represented by NAND flash is increasing. In recent years, its proportion has exceeded 40% in total semiconductor investment (Figure 6). The investment amount of each major storage company is shown in Table 2 (Table 2). Investment is a major traction in the development of semiconductor memory.

The electronic components semiconductor industry maintains growth in fluctuations. The South China Sea downlights account for half of the world's global standards. The global semiconductor IP market is gradually moving toward the mature Yinchuan lighting market. Perspectives on the lighting market in Shenzhen
