This reporter has learned that in September 2015, the Administrative Committee of Liangjiang New Area and Wan Guo Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as AOS) signed a 12-inch power semiconductor chip manufacturing and packaging and testing production base project investment agreement ', while AOS and Chongqing Strategy Fund, Liangjiang Strategic Fund reached a joint venture agreement, on April 22, 2016 Chongqing Wan Guo Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Chongqing IWC).
Chongqing Wan Guo has a registered capital of 330 million U.S. dollars, of which 545 million U.S. dollars are invested by the Two Rivers Strategic Fund.The project is located in the Industrial Park of Water and Soil Conservation in Liangjiang New District of Chongqing with a total investment of 1 billion U.S. dollars and covers an area of about 220,000 square meters with production, sales, Wafer manufacturing, packaging and testing capabilities of the entire industry chain, will be divided into two phases.
Among them, the first phase of the project invests about 500 million US dollars, is expected to produce 20,000 chips per month, packaging and testing 500 million chips; two investment of about 500 million US dollars, is expected to produce 50,000 per month chip, package test 1.25 billion Semiconductor chip.
Chongqing Wan Guo relevant person in charge, at present, the project plant has completed the cap, is in the mechanical and electrical installation is expected in March this year, packaging and testing plant will begin trial production; the third quarter of this year, the fab will begin trial production; the end of this year, all engineering Will be fully completed and started production.
The industry said that the global semiconductor market is now steady growth in the next few years, the Chinese semiconductor market will remain at 205 billion to 210 billion US dollars.For Chongqing, the IC industry is one of the top ten emerging industries, Through vertical integration of the cluster development model, Chongqing is forming a "raw material - single crystal silicon - IC design - IC manufacturing - package testing - industrial support 'multi-standard, full process integrated circuit industry system. Chongqing million countries will help Chongqing build national importance IC industry base to promote Chongqing electronic information industry from the laptop base to the core of the screen core intelligent terminal industry chain layout of the whole industry.
Founded in September 2000 and headquartered in Silicon Valley, California, USA, AOS is the first high-tech company in the world engaged in R & D and production of power semiconductors, integrating semiconductor design, wafer fabrication and packaging testing, mainly in power In the field of notebook computers, LCD TVs, smartphones, home appliances, communications equipment, industrial control, lighting applications, automotive electronics and other fields, the company has a turnover of nearly 400 million U.S. dollars in 2017.
At present, AOS has a number of production bases and R & D centers in the United States, Shanghai and other places. Its distribution service network covers over 600 countries including Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Britain, Germany and other countries and regions. It has more than 600 patents and over 130 pending patents.
AOS has two key technologies: one is EPI (Epitaxial Wafer) technology, which is one of the core technologies for wafer manufacturing; the other is packaging technology. In the multi-chip packaging field, AOS can encapsulate the same chip into smaller modules, And make it have better thermal performance.At present, the cooperation of customers, including Samsung, Lenovo, Huawei, Xiaomi and other world-renowned enterprises.
