摘要 The worldwide smartphone market’s wild years have passed, while PC market continue to
decline. On top of that, Moore’s Law is reaching its physical limits. At each node, process costs
and complexity are skyrocketing. In addition, fewer foundry customers can afford to move to
advanced nodes. The semiconductor industry is undergoing massive transformation as the
strategies for next big IC growth in 5G, Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI),
and automotive have become fundamental. Over the past three years, the global semiconductor
industry has been reshaped by historical waves of M&A. The combined value of these
transactions in M&A agreements in the semiconductor industry reached a historical high in
2015 and 2016. However, a combination of factors may hinder large transactions in the
semiconductor industry in the foreseeable future, including growing trade tensions, increasing
scrutiny of investment from regulators, and rising protectionism among different countries. In
this paper, a case study on Qualcomm to Acquire has been analyzed from different perspectives.
