In the current era of intelligence, information technology, the chip market is increasingly becoming a huge market.
Zhang Rujing respondents for the map
Huangpu District and GDD ushered in the CIDM project.As early as September this year, Huangpu District Government and Guangzhou Development Zone Administrative Committee signed a cooperation memorandum with Dr. Zhang Rujing, the leader of Chinese chip leader, and Zhang Rujing and team plan Joint chip design company, end application companies and chip manufacturing plants, a total investment of 6800000000 yuan to build collaborative chip manufacturing (CIDM) project, put into operation after the estimated output value of 3.16 billion yuan.
At the helm of the project, Zhang Rujing witnessed the development of the domestic integrated circuit industry.SMC International founded in Shanghai in 2004 became the world's third largest foundry, and since then, Zhang Rujing investment in the past three years, 4 LED Enterprises, with a total investment of more than 3.5 billion yuan, covering LED upstream substrate materials, chips and downstream lighting applications.
This time, the projects brought by Zhang Rujing will fill the vacancy in Guangzhou and drive the concentration of upstream and downstream industries to realize the high-end and high-quality development of industries such as consumer electronics, industrial control and equipment manufacturing.
Or will crack Guangzhou 's lack of pain'
Chip as the heart of all the equipment, has been hailed as 'industrial food', especially in the current era of intelligent and informative, the chip market is increasingly becoming a huge market.Related data show that in 2016 the global chip market reached 3397 billion US dollars, an increase of 1.5%, 2017 is expected to more than 400 billion US dollars, up more than 10%.
At present, China is the world's largest consumer of chips, digesting nearly a third of the market demand, but in the face of huge demand, more than 90% of China's chips rely on imports and spend nearly twice as much on chip imports. Similarly, Guangzhou is also facing a 'lack of control' and has long been lacking in large-scale chip manufacturing projects.
This reporter has learned that the so-called collaborative chip manufacturing (CIDM) model, refers to the chip design company, terminal application companies and chip manufacturers to participate in project investment, through the establishment of a joint venture company will be multi-resource integration. The company not only owns the chip Manufacturing capacity scale and technical support, as well as end-application enterprises to provide a stable product market protection.
In fact, there is a precedent for this kind of 'win-win-win' approach to achieving win-win situation. For example, TECH Singapore is an IDM company (production storage-based) jointly established by several companies. The four letters of TECH represent TI Texas Instruments, Singapore government EDS Economic Development Board, Canon Canon, Hewlett-Packard Hewlett-Packard. By design, own production, own sales, TECH companies from the second year to maintain a stable profit.
'The advantage of the CIDM model is that it is' offensive, offensive and defensive.' "Mr Cheung said that in the CIDM model, the allocation of production capacity can be internally negotiated and capacity can be increased if necessary, and services can be provided to customers if there is excess capacity To solve the problem.CIDM not only share the risk model, synergies are greatly enhanced, in many ways more than an advanced foundry more convenient operation.
Zhang Rujing said that CIDM is still a fresh concept in China and hopes to put the concept to the ground as soon as possible to provide replicable samples for other regions. 'We are willing to be the first person to eat crabs.'
It is reported that the first phase of the project a total investment of about 6.8 billion yuan, about 200,000 square meters of land area, capacity design for the 8-inch chip 30,000 per month, 12-inch chip 10,000 per month, is expected to reach output value of 3.16 billion yuan The project has now entered the company registration and arrangements for the land phase.
After the project is successfully completed, it will be expected to become a landmark project for the development of IAB industry in Guangzhou and a demonstration area for the Guangzhou and even Guangdong regions that will bring integrated circuit industry chain. This project will not only attract a large number of professional and technical personnel to take root in the project, but will also lead to a batch of projects Integrated circuit design, packaging and testing, equipment materials, design services, upstream and downstream industry concentration, promote consumer electronics, industrial control, equipment manufacturing and other industries of high-end and high-quality development.
According to reports, the domestic and especially the Guangdong Province, a number of upstream and downstream integrated circuits have expressed their expectation to participate in the project.
Chip manufacturing new fertile soil
The co-operative chip manufacturing (CIDM) project will eventually be located in Huangpu District and Guangzhou Development Zone, which is inseparable from its positioning as the core area of Guangzhou International Science and Technology Innovation Hub.
Zhang Rujing said that the vast market is an important reason for him to choose Huangpu District and Guangzhou Development Zone.At present, Guangzhou is vigorously developing the IAB industry and plans to reach a new generation of IT output value of 700 billion yuan by the end of 2019, resulting in a huge chip market demand 2016. In 2016, the output value of the electronics and communications equipment manufacturing industry in Huangpu District and Guangzhou Development Zone exceeded 230 billion yuan, accounting for 80% of the city's total, providing huge user docking and market resources for chip projects.
At the same time, Huangpu District and Guangzhou Development Zone also have a good 'gene' for developing chip projects.In terms of integrated circuits, the integrated circuit industry in the area is mainly concentrated in the fields of design, packaging and testing, and Hagl communications, Ankai, Hui Zhi Microelectronics, the Thai Doo Microelectronics, Xingsen fast more than 20 companies.Among them, the Thai Microelectronics is the first integrated radio, baseband and flash memory 'three in one' solution manufacturers, in the field of car Beidou navigation Accounting for about 70% of the market share; Guangzhou Xingsen Express Circuit Technology Co., Ltd. is the largest manufacturer of printed circuit board small batch plate shipment.
This year, Huangpu District and Guangzhou Development Zone have also introduced a batch of 'new forces' in IC projects, for example, on October 26, the district signed an investment cooperation agreement with Guangdong Gaoyun Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd. Gaoyun Semiconductor More than 50 types of domestic FPGA chips have been introduced. All the innovations have completely independent intellectual property rights. The project technology has filled the gap in China and broke the international monopoly. China has become the second country in the world to independently develop and industrialize FPGA chips.
In addition, Huangpu District, Guangzhou Development Zone is planning to build a new generation of 4.2 square kilometers of information technology value innovation park for the future development of integrated circuits and a new generation of information technology industry leave room to build a strong leading enterprises, the industry chain integrity, integration of production and life, Ecological as one of the new park.
Zhang Rujing said that the Huangpu District and Guangzhou Development Zone have a favorable investment environment, a vast market and a pragmatic and efficient government. They believe that they can do something new here.
