Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation
Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC) is a semiconductor foundry, one of the largest contract chip manufacturers globally. The ultimate holding company, Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation, was incorporated as an exempted company under the laws of the Cayman Islands on 3 April 2000, with its Cayman registered office at P.O. Box 2681, Cricket Square, Hutchins Drive, Grand Cayman KY1-1111. Its principal place of business and operational headquarters is at 18 Zhangjiang Road, Pudong New Area, Shanghai, China, 201203 – an address that matches this WordPress record’s on-file postal code (201203) and city (Shanghai), indicating this record reflects SMIC’s mainland China operating base rather than its Cayman Islands legal domicile. This is a genuine jurisdiction distinction worth noting explicitly: SMIC’s country of incorporation is the Cayman Islands, while its principal operations and this record’s address are in mainland China.
SMIC manufactures semiconductors for third-party customers (foundry model) and operates wafer fabrication facilities across mainland China, including 300mm and 200mm fabs in Shanghai, a 300mm fab and a majority-owned advanced-node 300mm fab in Beijing, and 200mm fabs in Tianjin and Shenzhen. The company is dual-listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX: 0981) and the Shanghai Stock Exchange STAR Market (SSE: 688981). In 2020, the U.S. Department of Commerce added SMIC to its Entity List, restricting the export of certain U.S.-origin technology to the company, which has materially affected its access to advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment.

Group Structure
Data availability: Partial.
SMIC operates as an investment holding company (Cayman Islands-incorporated) with wafer fabrication operations conducted through mainland Chinese subsidiaries and joint ventures, including facilities in Shanghai (300mm and 200mm), Beijing (300mm, including a majority-owned advanced-node joint venture), Tianjin (200mm), and Shenzhen (200mm). On-file registry data for this specific record states no parent/subsidiary linkage is currently available, which is consistent with this record representing an operating-location entry rather than a fully mapped corporate-group filing. A complete, verified subsidiary list was not compiled for this review; readers should consult SMIC’s official annual report (Form 20-F historically, or its HKEX/SSE annual report) for the authoritative group structure.

In 2020, the U.S. Department of Commerce added SMIC to its Entity List, restricting the export of certain U.S.-origin technology to the company. This has been reported to materially affect SMIC’s access to some advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment.
Is SMIC’s current group/subsidiary structure fully documented in this profile?
No. On-file registry data for this specific record states no parent/subsidiary linkage is currently available. A complete, independently verified subsidiary list was not compiled for this review; SMIC’s official annual report is the authoritative source for its full corporate group structure.
Why might this record show ‘CN’ rather than ‘Cayman Islands’ as SMIC’s jurisdiction?
Company registries and data providers sometimes tag large multinational holding companies by their principal operating location rather than their strict country of legal incorporation. In SMIC’s case, its legal domicile is the Cayman Islands, but essentially all of its manufacturing operations, workforce, and its listed operational headquarters address are in mainland China, which likely explains the CN tag on this specific record.
