The Rise & Fall of the Japanese Semiconductor Industry, 1970 †2000 Ess

The Rise & F altogether of the lacquerese Semiconductor Industry, 1970 2000 abbreviationThe semiconductor device was the created with the innovation of transistor byBell Corporation. The industry was determined by the of great USelectronic giants such as everyday Electronic, Texas Instruments andothers. These US giants conquered most of the world trade touchrs.However in the dynamic world economy the grocery always moveshere to there. Nothing was antithetic in the case of semiconductorindustry. With the span of time US step by step lost control of thesemiconductor market constituents and Japan captured the industry.Nevertheless, it was only a matter of period to misplace the marketshare of semiconductor note by Japan. The time frame ofsemiconductor disdain started immediately later on WWII and menstruatening evennow.In a way the changes took place and how the pattern of distribution ofmarket has been changed was grounded by all time great market andeconomic mechanisms . Some argues those g all overnment policies andeconomic mechanisms in an optimistic standstill some obviously in seesin pessimistic view. However, this is kn have got to all that the policiesthat have been part of the cause have made those countries the worldsleader in electronic production as well as the economic super power ofthe planet.Although US is the originator and architect of the semiconductortechnology, especially was outstanding in fluidram (Digital random AccessMemory) assembly, US actually struggled to stay in the competition inlong run because of the excellent Nipponese policy more or less the foreigndirect enthronisation in Japan. M both may argue with various benefits ofgreen theatre investment that it is good for the host country but Japan neer encouraged Greenfield investment by US or by any other countriesespecially in semiconductor industry. Forget about the encouragement,Japan had a great barrier and restrictions on this semiconductorindustry. The policy o f Japanese government, Ministry of InternationalTrade and Industry (MITI), deliberately made US firms to go for jointadventure with the Japanese companies. Initially US firms were making take in but with the help of Japanese government policy Japanese firmstook over 80% of global market share of chip making businessespecially semiconductor industry where US was the innovator of thefluid drachm.Afterward tremendous... ... elaborationed DRAM market share in Japan. Even in 1988 Samsung never producedDRAM but in 1994 got more than 12 percent of market share lot ahead ofJapanese giants like Mitsubishi or NEC. The investment on plants ofdigital chip making was lot higher by the Korean and Taiwanese companycompared than Japanese or US. South Korean firms invested 55 percentof the revenue from the semiconductor revenue whereas Japanese didonly 15 percent. The aggressive move from South Korea and Taiwan madethem able to labor the market share of Japan. Still now from 1991Japan is losing it s market share in semiconductor business.Also, The U.S. comeback in chips was due primarily to fast growth inthe market for microprocessors, the chips that act as the brains ofpersonal computers. That market is dominated by Intel & Motorola.Intels semiconductor sales increased from $1 jillion in 1986 to about$4 billion in 1991, a gain that by itself is responsible for the U.S.share of the world market being about 5% higher than it otherwisewould be. The Japanese attempt to develop its own microprocessordesign standard TRON failed in large part because there was nosoftware to support it.
