Decoma/Tacoma CIS Fabs (Huai’an & Nanjing — cancelled) · 江苏德淮半导体有限公司（前身淮安德科码）
Jiangsu Decoma Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd. | Fab
The two half-built CIS-fab scams of the same promoter — Huai’an (德科码 → renamed 德淮 after litigation) and Nanjing (Tacoma (Nanjing) Semiconductor 南京德科码, a 2017 TowerJazz-licensed CIS/RF-SOI paper JV that built nothing and was declared bankrupt 22 June 2020; the Wikipedia ‘Tower Tacoma Nanjing’ row) — resolved as one tracker entry since the Wikipedia dump splits them.
Chinese name: 江苏德淮半导体有限公司（前身淮安德科码） (Jiāngsū Déhuái Bàndǎotǐ)
What does this facility make?
Nothing: bankrupt, assets auctioned — Huai’an’s 62 tool sets (AMAT/Nikon/KLA/TEL/LAM), 19 buildings and 171,000 m² land appraised ¥2.38B for JD auction from ¥1.666B (Aug 2021; result not verified).
Why does it matter?
Shows the Decoma/Tacoma chain (Shenzhen Sile, Wuhan Xiaoxin, Changshu Zhongwei also surfaced in the same 2021 OFweek exposé) exploiting the 2016-2018 CIS investment wave with tool-count theatre; the government-takeover-then-auction sequence is the standard lifecycle of the cancelled-fab cohort this entry and HSMC document.
