8 inches of second-hand semiconductor equipment market in China

The rapid development of China's semiconductor industry has brought a broad market for the semiconductor equipment industry, but also provides a good market opportunity for second-hand semiconductor equipment. Held in the day before the second-hand semiconductor equipment seminar, many experts at home and abroad comprehensively and objectively analyses the second-hand equipment and market prospect in the purchase process should pay attention to the problem.

Second hand equipment market in China

Due to the inherent price advantage of the second - hand semiconductor equipment, it is the main equipment of the production line below 8 inches. SEMI2005 according to the latest statistics report shows that in 2004 China used semiconductor equipment sales of $180 million, with the world's leading semiconductor manufacturers gradually by 12 inch wafer and 90 nm and below the technology, with 8 inches and 0.25 micron technology two hand equipment market will be formed in the mainland Chinese.

China electronic equipment industry association secretary general Jin Cunzhong on the above ideas further explained that in recent years China's IC production line investment mostly concentrated in 8 inches below the production line, and integrated circuit enterprises in the United States and Japan, the 12 inch production line began to sing the protagonist, 8 inch production line is gradually phased out, which provide a sufficient supply for China's second-hand semiconductor equipment market.

At the same time, China's domestic semiconductor equipment manufacturers and research in the renovation of second-hand semiconductor equipment has begun to break through, for domestic enterprises to purchase and use of second-hand equipment to provide a convenient.

Jin Cunzhong said that due to some of the advantages of second-hand equipment, such as the renovation can basically achieve the level of new equipment, low price, short delivery time, etc., second-hand equipment in my Congress has a good market prospect. He stressed that the renovation also has a good social and economic benefits, it will not only promote the development of China's semiconductor industry, but also to the development of China's semiconductor equipment manufacturers to bring new opportunities.

The best service model is the key cooperation

Second hand equipment in China has broad market prospects this view has been widely recognized in the industry, but what is the best service model of second-hand equipment? Dense silicon (Changzhou) board electronic equipment Co., Ltd. deputy general manager Wang he gave an answer, he said to reporters, China customers, purchasing second-hand equipment prices should be the purchase of new equipment price of 30%-40% will be accepted, and the current general situation is the domestic price of second-hand equipment is a new equipment of 60%-70%. How to reduce the purchase cost of second-hand equipment? He pointed out that the key is to cooperate for a domestic qualified third party equipment renovation services, to establish cooperative relations with the manufacturers, to support the original technology vendors, and can provide local customer service service and technical support ability.

So, what are the conditions for the establishment of cooperation?

Wang He told reporters that the cooperation is the two sides, so refurbished equipment manufacturers and customers have to bear some responsibility, to do the corresponding obligations. Refurbished manufacturers necessary conditions are: 1 a large number of old equipment supply channels, with imported equipment and parts of the license; 2 can help customers find the required equipment, and has the strength of 3 devices to determine the status quo; have a good relationship with the original manufacturers, can be obtained from the original factory support, can increase the chances of success 4; have qualified technical team with rich experience in actual combat; 5 good communication and parts manufacturers, supported the right technology; 6 and customers to participate in the whole process of equipment renovation; 7 with new technology to increase efficiency, reduce the cost, such as the remote diagnosis system; 8 can provide the product warranty and Follow-Up Services necessary. When the required parts produced according to the transformation of demand.

Customers should do: buy 1 direct device to device owners, also let the third party vendors to confirm the status of equipment renovation, avoid buying poor equipment, in order to minimize costs; 2 only really need to buy parts; 3 for equipment refurbishment partner with enough trust and support; and then completed 4 equipment renovation work.

Second hand equipment should pay attention to the purchase price

Although the second-hand equipment can be achieved by the renovation or basic to achieve the level of new equipment, but it is after all the equipment used, so the domestic manufacturers in the purchase of second-hand equipment should be particularly careful in the process.

To this end, the experts expressed their views.

Jin Cunzhong said that the purchase of second-hand equipment should confirm the original equipment manufacturer, type and configuration details; understand the status of equipment, is the original machine or refurbished equipment, the price difference between the two great; to revamp the company's credibility, customer service and technical service personnel experience and professional technical level is one of the criteria to select the renovation company, try not to choose a company to renovate the entire production line equipment, because this company is refurbished equipment can not be more than professional renovation company refurbished equipment, should choose the number of refurbished products, it may be very troublesome, but will receive very good results; refurbished equipment inspection standard should reach the original equipment standard packing and transport equipment, should also be in accordance with the original equipment standards for the operation.

The general manager of Shanghai nanpre Mechanical Engineering Co., Cheng Jianrui said that the purchase of second-hand equipment must pay attention to the ratio of performance to price, the two can not be biased; should be direct and professional and technical services company, to avoid the company subcontract; comprehensive study of spare parts and consumables supply, avoid afford, can not afford.
