美光科技与福建晋华达成全球和解
美国半导体公司美光科技和中国国企福建晋华已达成全球和解。据彭博社报道，美光科技发言人星期天（12月24日）在一份媒体电邮声明中说，已与福建省晋华集成电路有限公司达成全球和解协议。
发言人称，“两家公司将在全球范围内各自撤销对对方的起诉，结束双方之间的所有诉讼”，但拒绝提供更多细节。
福建晋华成立于2016年，由福建省电子信息集团、晋江能源投资集团有限公司等共同出资，通过与台湾联华电子技术（联电）合作，建立了这个专门制造动态随机存取存储器（DRAM）内存的企业。
2017年12月，美光在美国加州联邦法庭起诉福建晋华和联电，称联电通过美光台湾员工窃取其知识产权，包括DRAM的关键技术，并交付福建晋华。
Micron Technology reaches a global settlement with Fujian Jinhua
American semiconductor company Micron Technology and Chinese state-owned enterprise Fujian Jinhua have reached a global settlement.
According to Bloomberg, a spokesperson for Micron Technology said in a media email statement Sunday (December 24) that it had reached a global settlement agreement with Fujian Jinhua Integrated Circuit Co., Ltd.
The spokesperson said that "the two companies will each withdraw their lawsuits against each other globally and end all lawsuits between the two parties", but refused to provide more details.
Fujian Jinhua was established in 2016 and was jointly funded by Fujian Electronic Information Group, Jinjiang Energy Investment Group Co., Ltd. and others. Through cooperation with Taiwan Unihua Electronic Technology (UNP), it has established this enterprise specializing in the manufacturing of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) memory.
In December 2017, Micron sued Fujian Jinhua and UMC in a federal court in California, claiming that UMC stole its intellectual property rights, including key DRAM technologies, through Micron's Taiwanese employees, and delivered them to Fujian Jinhua.
No. Fujian Jinhua likey won. Their lawsuit against micron was counter suit against microns initial lawsuit.
Micron went on the attack, Fujian fought back, making micron back off their initial lawsuit
Especially since the US DOJ lost against Fujian, Micron decided to pull back. So semantics doesn't matter. Micron essentially lost their lawsuit.
The Reuters article clearly states JHICC was found not guilty of wrongdoing. Micron lost the case it is as simple as that. And they lost in a US court.
This was the main legal lawsuit. And they lost.
Of course what you got in the Western media, and this video, is how UMC had to fork out money for one of its employees taking some files from his previous job with him. And that they had to comply with US investigations on the matter. But that doesn't mean those files either reached or were used in work they made for JHICC. Or that JHICC asked for this to be done.
They clearly failed to prove that.

Asianometry is Taiwanese and is friends with SemiAnalysis founder Dylan. They don't look for information that disagrees with their worldview.
Here’s a more detailed presentation on this ADC chip. Talks about Wassenaar restrictions on ADC, applications in telecom, radar/EW, medical device, AI optical interconnects and instruments. Fabbed and packaged by domestic fabs (likely 28nm), which requires specialized mixed signal 28nm process, not your ordinary logic cmos process
yes, this is very big deal.
Interesting enough, they also talked about a 8-bit 64 GSPS ADC chip that can operate in 29GHz range, also 28nm process. and has started mass production.
