Although the scale of integrated circuit industry in Wuxi City in the country for many years in the 'First Corps', but the distribution of industries is not balanced, mainly in the field of IC packaging and testing, upstream design and manufacturing sectors lack of motivation, but starting last year, the IC Industrial Cluster With remarkable results and joint development of all links in the industry chain.Nowadays, Wuxi has more than 200 IC enterprises in various industries, covering many areas such as circuit design, wafer manufacturing, packaging and testing, and ancillary equipment and materials. It has not only formed the IC industry Cluster, with nearly 50,000 employees, but also gathered a number of semiconductor equipment engineering, special gas and other supporting enterprises. Sales volume ranked third in the world, the country's first long-term technology, many years of careful operation has been pulled out A complete after-industrial chain, covering wafer manufacturing, packaging and testing, supporting industries and other fields.It is understood that Wuxi City, the layout of integrated circuit layout and the number of patents all year round in the province and even the forefront of the country, China Resources Branch of Silicon, , Force core microelectronics, micro-core core friends, Jiangsu Zhuo-chip microelectronics are included in the layout of the national integrated circuit design company.
The government continued to exert efforts in attracting industry growth: During the 13th FYP period, a total investment of 20 billion yuan was set up in the industry. 'Last year, the IC industry special policy was honored for the first time,' the official said.
