The '2021 China Integrated Circuit Design Innovation Conference and IC Application Expo', organized by ICDIA, was grandly held at the Shizhuang International Conference Center in Suzhou on July 15-16, 2021. XTX Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as 'XTX') was invited to participate in this expo. At the conference, focusing on the theme of '5G+AIoT', Mr. Wang Bin, Executive Vice President of XTX, shared opportunities for domestic storage chip manufacturers in the current era.
In his speech, Mr. Wang Bin cited data from third-party research institutions, indicating that the total value of global 5G-related products and services will reach $12 trillion by 2035, and the annual average growth rate of the global AIoT market will be 28.65%.
Mr. Wang Bin elaborated on how XTX is seizing opportunities in the '5G+AIoT era':
First, by adhering to the company's core values of 'integrity, win-win, openness, innovation, perseverance, and excellence,' XTX aims to become an outstanding general-purpose chip design company. It has also developed the 'Siliconbay' system software to support the development of multiple product lines. Currently, mass-produced products include Nor Flash, Nand Flash, and MCU. New product lines, such as power products, are also in the planning stage.
Second, XTX's comprehensive product lines cover applications in the 5G+AIoT era, including touch displays, smart wearables, IoT, smart homes, smart security, and 5G communications, accurately capturing application needs. The company continuously increases R&D investment based on market demand, actively plans advanced process nodes, evolving NOR process technology from 65 nanometers to 55 nanometers, and is preparing for 50 nanometer process nodes. Through continuous innovation, it enhances product performance, reliability, and stability, meeting IoT requirements for small packaging and low power consumption. XTX has successively launched industry-leading ultra-low power, ultra-small package, high-reliability products that support up to 105°C high temperatures.
Third, XTX constantly optimizes its industrial cooperation model, adheres to positive-sum games, and uses digital tools to improve operational efficiency. It collaborates with global ecosystem partners (SoC manufacturers) for multi-application compatibility, expanding market scale while rooting in China, strategically cooperating with local wafer fabs and packaging/test houses to jointly manufacture high-performance-cost ratio products. Additionally, the company collaborates with leading industry players and signs global distributor partners to support global customers.
As society moves towards digitization, companies are undergoing digital transformation. In his concluding speech, Mr. Wang Bin grandly introduced XTX's digital management tool—Siliconbay CRM. Siliconbay CRM was designed for the semiconductor industry, managing the entire sales funnel process from lead generation to design-in/design-win to final sale, along with after-sales service management, significantly enhancing the efficiency of the company's entire sales process. Besides CRM, Siliconbay software will also cover IPD product development management and SCM supply chain management, achieving full-process management and data analysis from market demand to product definition, from product development to market launch, and from customer orders to delivery, thereby boosting product competitiveness, supply chain competitiveness, decision quality, and overall operational efficiency, ensuring sustainable rapid development of the enterprise.
