Hua Hong Semiconductor (HHS) is China's second-largest chip manufacturer; trailing just behind its main rival: Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC)—a recent recruitment drive has signalled the company's desire to advance further. Nikkei Asia believes that the recruitment of a former Intel executive—Bai Peng—will boost the development of logic chips, and in turn generate greater revenue. A late 2024 reshuffling of leadership positions produced a notable vacancy: company president—Bai Peng assumed this role, effective January 1. His career at Intel spanned three decades—by 2015 he became Team Blue's corporate vice president, although his tenure ended at some point in 2022 (according to a LinkedIn profile).
Industry watchdogs reckon that Hua Hong Semiconductor's freshly established chief will be tasked with advancing semiconductor production technologies. Peng's experience—being a former co-director of Logic Technology Development at the Intel Technology and Manufacturing Group—is cited as a crucial factor in diversifying the firm's product portfolio. HHS foundries produce a lot of 100+ nm-based designs—mostly in the fields of power semiconductors, analog chips, and embedded memory—but two locations are capable of churning out relatively complex silicon via a 40 nm process node. A new plant—based in Wuxi—is supposedly ready to push into sub-forty digits. The latest industry reports suggest that Peng and his colleagues will be focused on improving HSS's manufacturing processes—targeted advancements could open up new product lines: high-end enterprise and AI processors.
