It is reported that STMicroelectronics will enter the 10nm process in the future.

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen OC_Formula for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, December 10, semiconductor analyst Dylan Patel said STMicros will enter the 10nm process in the future, but considering that the mentioned wafer factories will not be able to produce the 18nm process at full capacity until 2026, the specific time for the implementation of the 10nm process may be late.

The person said that STMicroelectronics will produce 50,000 wafers of 18nm FDSOI per month, and then move to the next node, using the 10nm process, which will be produced in cooperation with GlobalFoundries.

CTOnews.com learned that in July this year, St and GE announced an investment of 5.7 billion euros (about 41.838 billion yuan) to build a new semiconductor factory in France. The new plant, located near the existing 12-inch 300mm fab of Crolles, will employ 1000 people and will receive substantial financial support from the French government. The target will be full production by 2026, when the annual production capacity will reach 620,000 300mm wafers.

Italian semiconductors had net revenue of $4.32 billion (about 31.32 billion yuan) in the third quarter of this year, gross profit margin of 47.6%, operating profit margin of 29.4% and net profit of $1.1 billion (about 7.975 billion yuan). In terms of business outlook, St guidelines (median) for the fourth quarter of 2022 are expected to have net revenue of $4.4 billion (about 31.9 billion yuan), an increase of about 1.8% month-on-month, and a gross profit margin of about 47.3%.
