TipWhy This Matters

SMIC’s founding fab (entity registered 21 December 2000, 张江路18号) — the 8-inch campus the tracker’s SMIC coverage omitted while following the new mega-JVs. It remains the backbone of SMIC’s 200mm base (~355,000 wafers/month group 8-inch across Shanghai/Tianjin/Shenzhen, running at ~96% utilization in 2025 Q3, with BCD prices raised ~10% from December 2025 as global 8-inch supply tightened).

Chinese name: 中芯国际集成电路制造(上海)有限公司 (Zhōngxīn Shànghǎi (Zhāngjiāng))

What does this facility make?

Mature-node 200mm logic, analog/power (BCD), and embedded-nonvolatile wafers.

Why does it matter?

The 8-inch legacy fabs are where the 2025-26 mature-node price cycle actually bites — SMIC’s >95% utilization on these lines, not the headline 28nm JVs, is the volume story of China’s foundry expansion.
