Causes of Electronic Component Shortages: A Closer Look at the Past Two Years

Slkor Semiconductor Song Shiqiang said, review the first two years of electronic components of the shortage of what is the reason? The first because of the epidemic seal control, everyone home office and classes suddenly increased the large number of mobile phones and tablet computers, these products are the use of electronic components, the second is the outbreak of the demand for electronic components used in a number of intelligent terminals, such as mobile phones, fingerprint lock chips occupy a large amount of production capacity, as well as fingerprint chips for smart door locks at this time to form a large wave of climax, the third is also because of the U.S. sanctions Huawei, Huawei grabbed the supply before actively stocking up to take up TSMC's production capacity, squeezing the space of other chip manufacturers, but also let the semiconductor industry chain there is an imbalance between supply and demand. The superposition of these several situations, the formation of a large-scale shortage of electronic components, followed by the terminal of the factory panic a large number of stockpiling, the intermediate distribution chain of agents, Huaqiang North and the surrounding traders take the opportunity to hoard and wait for the price increase, which further pushed the market to form a substantial price increases.

At that time to break through or improve the situation, we must think of ways to break through the constraints in all aspects of the semiconductor industry chain. Semiconductor industry chain is the key node of the Foundry plant, because of the large investment, long cycle, so the cyclical impact on the semiconductor industry is the largest, Foundry plant a moment to expand production is too late, the cycle is about 3-5 years. In this wave of price increases, slkor (www.slkormicro.com) semiconductor usually actively do a good job of product "domestic substitution", because well-prepared usually practiced the basics, but also did not take the opportunity to increase the price, so the R & D and production of mos tubes, TVS diodes, igbt tubes, etc. were many! Customers accepted, slkor brand reputation and the market share of Sacco micro-products continue to expand!
