TOKYO -- HiSilicon Technologies has cracked the global top 10 of semiconductor suppliers, but perhaps not for long as American trade sanctions continue to bite the Chinese technology sector.
HiSilicon's 49% year-on-year growth in semiconductor sales raised the wholly owned chip design unit of Huawei Technologies by six places to No. 10 in the first half of 2020, according to a research bulletin by U.S.-based IC Insights. The fabless company became the first Chinese player to make the list.
