iST(TWSE:3289) today (December 10, 2019) announced its net revenues on a consolidated basis, the revenues of November 2019 were approximately NTD$306 million, which increased 1.73% and 42.07% of MoM and YoY, respectively.
Since June this year, iST has maintained its single-month consolidated revenue at the NTD$300 million mark for six consecutive months, and its revenue in November was the second highest in a single month record. The good performance resulted from the US-China trade war, as well as the de-Americanization policy promoted in China, thus, as an alternative solution, the number of R&D open cases of semiconductor manufacturers in Taiwan has been increased and this has been the driving force of iST’s verification and analysis business. In addition, the growing demands of 5G and AI (Artificial Intelligence) products are also being the momentum of iST’s business in verification and analysis of advanced packaging.
iST further pointed, the fast-growing of 5G and AI have become an important driving force of the semiconductor industry. However, these applications are required to adopt the advanced functional chips featuring high speed computing, high speed transmission, low latency and high power consumption. To this end, the foundry and the packaging industry not only continuing to move toward to the advanced processes (5 Nano and 3 Nano), but beginning to develop a new generation of packaging technology to break the Moore’s law bottleneck. Thus, the new packaging forms of 2.5D/3D、3D-IC have emerged, each of these technologies has its own challenges, which presenting a business opportunity for verification testing.
