YMTC's capital arm enters FD-SOI as China's 12-inch SOI build-out accelerates

YMTC's investment arm has joined an FD-SOI project, accelerating the formation of China's 12-inch silicon-on-insulator supply chain. The move expands local chipmaking capacity that sidesteps restrictions on advanced nodes.

• YMTC's capital arm joins a new FD-SOI funding round
• China is building a 12-inch SOI wafer supply chain
• FD-SOI enables chips without advanced lithography
