Intel: Breakthrough progress has been made in chip interconnection, and the inter-line capacitance has been reduced by 25%. Recently, Intel OEM announced a major breakthrough in on-chip interconnection technology. The latest subtractive Ruthenium interconnection technology of the company can reduce the inter-line capacitance by up to 25%, effectively improving the on-chip interconnection. According to reports, the subtractive ruthenium interconnection technology has achieved great progress in interconnection miniaturization by using ruthenium, a new, key and alternative metallization material, and using thin film resistivity and airgap. This process does not need an expensive photolithographic air gap exclusion zone around the via, and it can also avoid using a self-aligned via that is selectively etched. When the spacing is less than or equal to 25 nm, the air gap realized by reducing ruthenium interconnection technology can reduce the capacitance between lines by up to 25%, which can be used as a metallization scheme to replace copper damascene process in closely spaced layers. It is reported that this solution is expected to be applied in the future process nodes of Intel OEM.

(CCTV News)The deposit interest rate is declining, and the interbank deposit receipt fund is popular. Under the background of the current downward trend of non-bank interbank deposit interest rate, the interbank deposit receipt rate is relatively more attractive, and the interbank deposit receipt fund has recently gained the popularity of funds. On December 12, Hongta laterite fund announced that the company held a meeting of fund share holders of the 7-day holding fund of Hongta laterite CSI interbank deposit certificate AAA index by means of communication to review the proposal on matters related to the continuous operation of the fund. Previously, the fund had a net asset value of less than 50 million yuan for 60 consecutive working days. However, the fund shares voted at the fund share holders' meeting were less than half of the total fund shares on the equity registration date, and failed to meet the effective meeting conditions. On December 5th, the 7-day holding period of the AAA index of China National Securities Interbank Deposit Certificate also announced the convening of the holders' meeting on the continuous operation of the fund, and the fund manager proposed to continue to operate the fund.

This year, the amount of M&A transactions involving listed companies in Hong Kong has reached 38 billion US dollars, which has triggered a rare bidding war. This year is expected to be the busiest year for M&A transactions involving listed companies in Hong Kong in the past decade, with industries ranging from skin care products to logistics real estate, and the bidding war has also warmed up. It is reported that China Mobile's bid for Hongkong Broadband may face competition from American private equity firm I Squared Capital. Bi Hua, chairman of Fenmei Packaging, is negotiating with Qihao Capital to jointly counter the privatization offer of Shandong Xinjufeng. The data shows that the scale of M&A transactions for listed companies in Hong Kong has reached $38 billion this year, the highest level since 2017, including the merger of Guotai Junan Securities and Haitong Securities, a smaller competitor, to become the largest brokerage firm in China.Nanchang land port "Changsha-Xiamen-Hong Kong Link" rail-sea intermodal train was opened. On the morning of December 12th, two trains loaded with "Made in Jiangxi" drove out of Nanchang land port in turn under the supervision of Ganjiang New District Customs, marking the official opening of the "Changsha-Xiamen-Hong Kong Link" rail-sea intermodal train from Nanchang land port to Xiamen Port, which greatly boosted the construction of modern logistics system in Jiangxi to a new level. Compared with the past, under the new mode of "Changsha-Xiamen-Hong Kong Link", the transportation efficiency of goods destined for Southeast Asia is shortened by 5-7 days, and the transportation cost is reduced by 20%.

Sources: The Bank of Japan tends to keep interest rates unchanged next week. Five sources familiar with the Bank of Japan's thinking said that the Bank of Japan tends to keep interest rates unchanged next week because policymakers tend to spend more time examining overseas risks and clues about salary increase next year. Any similar decision will increase the possibility that the Bank of Japan will raise interest rates at its meeting in January or March next year, when there will be more information about the wage increase next year. The source also said that there was no consensus within the Bank of Japan on the final decision, and some people in the Committee still believed that Japan had met the conditions for raising interest rates in December. This decision will depend on each member's belief in the possibility of achieving wage-driven sustained price increases in Japan. If upcoming events, such as next week's meeting of the Federal Reserve, trigger another sharp fall in the yen, thus intensifying inflationary pressure, the Bank of Japan may also agree to raise interest rates. But overall, many BoJ policymakers seem to be in no hurry to pull the trigger.The main contract of CSI 500 stock index futures (IC) expanded to 1.00% in the day and is now reported at 6104.4 points.
