The production of smartphone is exposed to the risk of shutdown by earthquake "internal injury"

Smartphone faces shutdown risk Japan earthquake caused global 90%BT resin production yesterday, the water Qing Shuiqingmuhua Research Center Research director Zhou Yanwu to the West China City newspaper reporter revealed that the recent media reported Toshiba Flash memory chip affected by the earthquake is not accurate, its main production in far away from the earthquake center Srs, still in normal production. The real damage is Mitsubishi Gas and Hitachi, the two production of BT resin mainly used in smartphones, and occupy more than 90% of the world's market, and no production base outside Japan, there is no short-term alternative sources.　　According to this, the smartphone fear is the biggest victim of the earthquake in Japan, the flash product is only skin trauma. Flash memory only skin trauma Toshiba Flash chip Use range: All kinds of mobile storage, such as U disk, digital camera SD card, CF card, cell phone TF card, solid hard disk, etc. "Toshiba Flash chip production base in Sanchong County Srs, the earthquake that day just stopped half a day of electricity, has not been directly damaged." Zhou Yanwu said Toshiba plans to build a NAND flash chip factory in Yanshou County, but did not actually put it into production, after media reports mentioned Toshiba's factory in Yanshou County, mainly the production of logic ICS and CMOS sensors for digital cameras, "there are alternatives." "It is reported that Toshiba and SanDisk joint venture NAND Flash factory FAB3 and FAB4 located in Japan Sanchong County Srs (Yokkaichi), Kansai Nagoya, near the epicenter of about 800 kilometers away, far away, there is no serious disaster.　　SanDisk issued an official note that the earthquake occurred when the production line had a brief shutdown, but soon resumed normal production.　　But Zhou Yanwu said Toshiba was still assessing the effects of the collateral damage caused by the quake, such as the supply of raw materials, the disruption of traffic and the impact on Japan's infrastructure. Smartphone becomes the biggest victim BT resin use range: All kinds of smart phone chip packaging essential materials Mitsubishi Gas and Hitachi (hitachichemical) separation of the world's first and second largest integrated circuit (IC) substrate materials suppliers, mainly supply mobile phone chips required by the BT resin substrate,　　Production base in Fuk Island County, Baihe County, Cicheng County built West, are in Japan's Super earthquake area. Zhou Yanwu told reporters that these two companies accounted for 90% of the global market of BT resin, and no Japanese production base, short-term also no alternative sources, the impact is very large. "Almost all smartphones around the world, including the ipad, will use BT resin packaging chips, and if the production cannot resume after two months, the smartphone won't be available."　　"It is reported that in the second quarter of the major brands of smart phone when the new machine is listed, Japanese business if not immediately restore supply, two months later will face no mobile phone can ship broken chain phenomenon, and affect the concept of smart phone unit performance." But Zhou Yanwu that high-end smartphone price increase is unlikely, "shipments will be reduced, but the mobile phone is not a necessity, people look at the high price, to buy cheap mobile phones."
