In September 2015, the Administrative Committee of Liangjiang New Area and the International Technology Co., Ltd. (AOS) signed the "12-inch power semiconductor chip manufacturing and packaging test production base project investment agreement", at the same time, AOS and Chongqing strategic fund, two rivers strategy The fund reached a joint venture agreement and on April 22, 2016, Chongqing Wanguo Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Chongqing Wanguo) was established with a registered capital of US$330 million. The project is located in the water and soil industrial development zone of Chongqing Liangjiang New District with a total investment of US$1 billion. Covering an area of about 220,000 square meters, it has the capability of production and sales, chip design, wafer manufacturing, and packaging and testing. It will be constructed in two phases. Among them, the first phase of the project will be invested about 500 million U.S. dollars, and is expected to produce 20,000 yuan per month. Chips, packaging and testing of 500 million chips; second phase of investment of about 500 million US dollars, is expected to produce 50,000 chips per month, packaging and testing 1.25 billion semiconductor chips.
The person in charge of Chongqing Wanguo introduced that at present, the project plant has been completed and the installation of electromechanical equipment is underway. It is expected that the package and test plant will start trial production in March this year; in the third quarter of this year, the fab will begin trial production; by the end of the year, all The project will be fully completed and production will start.
The Chongqing Wanguo Project will help Chongqing to build a national key integrated circuit industrial base and promote Chongqing's electronic information industry from laptops, computer bases to the 'core-screen-core' intelligent terminal's industrial-wide ecological chain layout.
Founded in September 2000, AOS is headquartered in Silicon Valley, California, USA. The company is the first high-tech company in the world to research, develop and produce power semiconductors. It integrates semiconductor design, wafer manufacturing, and packaging and testing. It is mainly engaged in power. Semiconductor product design and manufacturing, products related to notebook computers, LCD TVs, smart phones, home appliances, communications equipment, industrial control, lighting applications, automotive electronics and other fields, 2017 turnover of nearly 400 million US dollars.
