I-Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. (I-SMIC) isanda kusho ukuthi ibhekene nezinselelo ekuhlangabezaneni nezidingo zamakhasimende. Lawa ma-odolo ubuchwepheshe obuvuthiwe emafektri abesebenza ngokugcwele ezindaweni eziningi.
Ngokwalo mbiko ReutersIsikhulu sale nkampani uZhao Haijun wenze lesi simemezelo ngesonto eledlule ngesikhathi kunengqungquthela ngemuva kokubika imiphumela yakamuva yekota. ISMIC njengamanje ingumenzi omkhulu wama-chip eChina, kepha ingaphansi kwengcindezi evela unswinyo lwase-US oluthinta ukusebenza kwayo futhi lube nomthelela ekukhuleni kwemali engenayo. Kwikota yesine yokugcina yanyakenye, inkampani ibike ukuthengiswa kwezigidi ezingama- $ 981 million, kukhuphuke u-16,9% kusukela esikhathini esifanayo ngonyaka odlule.
Kodwa-ke, ngaphandle kokukhula okuphawulekayo ngalesi sikhathi, inkampani ilindele ukukhuphuka kwamadijithi owodwa kuphela kwemali engenayo kulo nyaka, kusuka kokuphakathi kuya phezulu. Ngokusho kwesikhulu esiphezulu, “iSMIC ibingaligcina izinga lokukhula kwerekhodi nyakenye” ukube bekungengenxa yalesi simo esikhona njengamanje. UZhao uphinde wengeza ukuthi "yize singeke silawule amandla angaphandle, sizokwakha amathuba namathuba amasha lapho kubhekene nobunzima noshintsho." Njengomuntu ovelele emakethe yama-semiconductor eChina, uhulumeni wasekhaya ubuye abheje kule femu ukuze athuthukise futhi akhulise imboni ye-semiconductor yendawo.
Le nkampani kumanje ixoxa nabaphakeli bayo kanye nohulumeni waseMelika, ngethemba lokuthola amalayisense azoyivumela ukuthi ithenge imishini yokwengeza amandla okukhiqiza. ISMIC njengamanje ibheke ukukhulisa umthamo wayo wokukhiqiza ezitshalweni zayo eziyi-12 "ngama-wafers ayi-10 000 ngenyanga kanye nama-wafers angama-45 ezitshalo eziyi-000". Kepha inkampani ilindele ukubambezeleka ekusebenziseni izinhlelo zayo ngenxa yezikhathi ezinde zokuthenga imishini yalokhu kuthutha.
