Former UMC CEO to lead Wuhan Xinxin

Friday 30 August 2019

Shih-Wei Sun, ex-CEO of Taiwan-based foundry United Microelectronics (UMC) who joined China's state-owned Tsinghua Unigroup in 2017, has been recently appointed as president and CEO for Wuhan Xinxin Semiconductor Manufacturing (XMC).

XMC is owned by Yangtze Memory Technologies (YMTC), and has now played a role in the group's semiconductor ambitions.

Sun has replaced Charles Kao and taken the helm at XMC. Kao is still the CEO of Tsinghua Unigroup's DRAM business group, which was established recently to demonstrate the state-backed conglomerate's determination to develop DRAM memory in-house.

Both Sun and Kao are semiconductor veterans from Taiwan.

Sun joined UMC in 1995 and held a number of senior management positions at the Taiwan-based foundry. In November 2012, Sun stepped down as CEO of UMC and became the company's vice chairman. Prior to joining Tsinghua Unigroup in 2017, Sun retired and resigned from all positions he held within the Taiwan-based foundry.

Prior to joining Tsinghua Unigroup in 2015, Kao held several senior management positions at Taiwan-based DRAM chipmakers Nanya Technology and Inotera Memories. Inotera is now a production unit of Micron Technology.

Kao played a key figure in making YMTC the first China-based homegrown NAND flash chipmaker. YMTC has disclosed plans to enter the production of 64-layer 3D NAND chips in small volume in the fourth quarter of 2019 followed by commercial production in early 2020. YMTC is also looking to move directly to the 128-layer generation, with sample deliveries slated for as early as 2020.

XMC is a 12-inch foundry and has expanded its target markets to include 3D ICs and microcontrollers in addition to NOR flash memory.
