Sanan IC (Sanan Optoelectronics foundry arm) | Compound Semiconductor
The foundry arm of Sanan Optoelectronics (separate from the Changsha SiC IDM and the Jinan ST JV this tracker already carries) — 三安集成’s Xiamen 6-inch line was China’s first compound foundry, and its GaN RF PA work won a National Science & Technology Progress first prize (2023). 2025 IC-segment revenue ¥29.16亿 (+2.1%), with filter capacity at 150 million die/month. Quanzhou campus plan reported at ~$4.6B in Wikipedia-era coverage; treat as site-plan not verified total.
Chinese name: 厦门市三安集成电路有限公司 / 泉州市三安集成电路有限公司 (Sān’ān Jíchéng Diànlù)
What does this facility make?
GaAs/GaN RF, SiC and InP optoelectronic wafers as a foundry; SAW filters for mobile.
Why does it matter?
RF front-end localization (GaAs/GaN PA + domestic SAW) is a direct answer to the Qualcomm/Skyworks chokepoint; governance flag: from June 2026 creditors petitioned to restructure the holding companies 厦门三安电子/三安集团 (real controllers’ 留置 episode May-Oct 2026) — fabs operating, ownership under restructuring review.
