China IC Monthly (CICM) Reports

The English language CICM reports are dedicated to international IC/VLSI/chip communities who want to have a first hand research and analysis about the Chinese chip industry and market on timely basis. This report is the only one of that kind available to foreign chip businesses, and covers key development areas such as (fundamental) research and development, design technology, eda vendors, foundries, testing, packaging, market, investment as well as key government policy, plans and programs in mainland China (excl. H.K. and Taiwan, ROC). This report was initiated as a result of our own studies of the chip technologies and industry, along with our fundamental researches (combinatorics and graph theory etc) in chip design and manufacturing in collaboration with research institutes and universities in China and other countries. The report was started upon the requests of our clients over the years. We also need these compilations for our own researches and development.

The CICM reports are prepared by the first class industry insiders, therefore I can assure you, once you own it, you will find it extremely worthwhile your investment and time reading and analyzing our reports. We know the Chinese chip industry that is undergoing drastic change right now. And like many other industry sectors, if you do not follow up it well on timely manner, you will loose your chance and market. Remember, China is the world's largest chip market therefore noone can afford to stay away from that market if he or she wants to be among the global players.

There is also a Chinese version for the Chinese chip designers, manufacturers and service companies who want to have a first hand info about the worldwide chip development, both traditional and novel tech (quantum, photonic, atomic, bio/DNA etc).

See ChinaICReports_Month_Intro.pdf () for a quick view of how this report is designed.

In additional to the textual reports (with options of accompanying media files such as pictures, audio and video files), we're also delivering the socalled China IC Databases (CICD), which is presented as a form of MySQL databases as well as sectional presentations in pdf (R&D, designers,eda vendors, foundries, key equpment suppliers, testers and packagers, key investors and traders etc), with all necessary details for your further studies and contacts.

Stay informed with the Chinese IC industry with our above products and services.

Book titled “Silicon IP – More than just Design”

====================================================

This book or rather a platform, a knowledge center, an information hub or an interactive venue on the Internet is being prepared along with my design work. It contains all aspects of the IP core business, industry, technology as well as design process. It will become a book in huge volume - perhaps thousands of pages in A4 size, possibly web based and forever-updated (in the area of IP Core) with an interim title of "Silicon IP – More than just Design". The topic will go far beyond just the design aspect of the IP industry, and it will eventually all major sectors of this business. I will publish a small part of it in document formats such as Word or PDF, and also a small part of it will be made available at my website. But if you want more, you need pay for them.
