With the establishment of an international scientific research team, Jiangsu Boyao Electronics Technology has developed high-purity chemicals for microelectronics that catch up with similar international products in just two years, breaking the 40-year technology blockade and market monopoly of Japanese and Korean companies. For the scientific researcher to test the product.
On April 3rd, Hua Hong Semiconductor (Wuxi) Co., Ltd. started the first phase of the pile foundation project. This is the largest single-unit investment project in Wuxi so far. The estimated annual production value will reach 5 billion yuan. After the project is completed, Wuxi will The shortcomings of chip design and proprietary intellectual property rights have helped the Wuxi IC industry to form a scale of 100 billion yuan.
Wuxi is the earliest area where China’s integrated circuit industry started. In recent years, Wuxi has taken full advantage of its strong initial base in the development of the integrated circuit industry and continued to strengthen the chain to promote the high-quality development of the integrated circuit industry. The new era 'Oriental Silicon Valley'.
The '908' project made a lot of efforts
Wuxi is the earliest start-up region for China’s integrated circuit industry. The first ultra-large-scale integrated circuit in China was born here. As early as in the early 1990s, the Chinese government issued joint efforts by several national ministries in order to accelerate the development of semiconductors and smart sensors. Force, squeeze out capital, concentrate forces, start implementation of '908' project in Wuxi.
The '908' project has made a lot of efforts. Wang Hongjin, former chairman of the China Huajing Group, who was awarded the 'Lifetime Achievement Award' by the China Semiconductor Industry Association, said: 'Wuxi Huajing Group, with the support of the state and local governments, was the first in the country in the early 1990s. It will build a 12,000-month, 6-inch chip production line, and will become the 'Huangpu base' for the training of the South China base of the national microelectronics industry and IC personnel. '
Huang Qin, deputy secretary of the Wuxi municipal party committee, explained that due to the implementation of the '908' project, integrated circuits and related supporting industries developed rapidly in Wuxi, in the integrated circuit design industry, manufacturing industry, packaging and testing industry, supporting equipment and materials industry. In many fields, we created a first-mover advantage. Wuxi became one of the eight national integrated circuit design industrialization bases approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology, and together with Shanghai, the only two national high-tech microelectronics companies recognized by the National Development and Reform Commission. Technology Industry Base.
In the eyes of Yu Jiankang, Executive Vice President of the Semiconductor Industry Association of China Semiconductor Industry Association, Wuxi not only took the initiative in the integrated circuit industry, but also led the surrounding areas and major cities in China development of.
20 billion yuan to create IC industry advantages
In recent years, faced with the rapid development of domestic and foreign integrated circuit industries, Wuxi has accelerated the adjustment of IC industry planning in the implementation of the “strong industrial market” strategy and issued “Three-year Action to Accelerate the Development of a New Generation of IT Industry with Internet of Things as the Lead”. The plan “Opinions on Further Supporting the Development of the Integrated Circuit Industry” and set up a fund of 20 billion yuan in integrated circuit industry investment to create an advantage in Wuxi’s IC industry.
'Wuxi is a solid city with a solid economic foundation. Through policy guidance and financial support, it encourages companies to innovate independently, increase investment in R&D, integrate ICs with local traditional industries, and effectively increase the application space. At the same time, it integrates the Internet of Things, the Internet, and the cloud. Computing, big data, automotive electronics, LED lighting, sensors, smart homes, etc., implemented strong-chain complements and, in a number of applications, captured a number of key core technologies and formed a number of leading technologies and products at home and abroad. The National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Gao Yaguang, deputy mayor of Wuxi City, said.
Today, Wuxi has more than 200 integrated circuit research and production enterprises and employs nearly 50,000 people. Among them, there are 107 companies listed, 18 companies listed on the market and new 3rd board listed companies. In 2017, the annual integrated circuit output value reached 89.27 billion yuan. With a year-on-year increase of 11%, the scale of analog chip production ranks first in the country, and the total number of enterprises is the first in the country, with an output value of over 50% in Jiangsu.
Mergers and reorganizations staged 'Snapping Swallows'
Last year, Wuxi and Hua Hong signed an agreement to build an integrated circuit R&D and manufacturing base project. The total investment of the single monomer reached a record high of US$10 billion. In March of this year, the base started construction. It is expected to gather 5000 IC engineers after it is put into operation.
Wuxi also signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Tianjin Zhonghuan and Zhejiang Jingsheng for the development and production of large silicon wafers for integrated circuits, and jointly established the nation's largest production platform for large-diameter silicon wafers for integrated circuits. The total investment of the project is about 3 billion US dollars.
It is understood that in order to maintain a competitive advantage in the development of the integrated circuit industry, Wuxi is working with international scientific research teams to introduce a number of major projects and encourage companies to implement mergers and acquisitions and other effective measures to create a complete industrial ecology.
In the eyes of Wei Shaojun, head of the National Institute of Microelectronics, a key project leader of the National Nuclear Foundation, the new generation of emerging industries such as smart manufacturing, Internet of Things, big data, and cloud computing, which are planned and developed in China, are inseparable from integrated circuits. Merger and reorganization is also one of the ways to strengthen the industry.
Xingke Jinpeng is the fourth largest professional packaging and testing plant in the world, and possesses the technological advantages and high-end customers that Changdian Electronics does not have. Changjiang Science & Technology Co., Ltd. has established a world-class company to catch up with the world's leading companies in order to break through technical bottlenecks. Invested 750 million U.S. dollars, successfully acquired Starco.com, and staged a good drama of 'snakes and swallows,' becoming China's industry leader, ranking third in the world.
At present, among the 102 integrated circuit design companies in Wuxi, the 12 companies with a production value of over 100 million have sales accounts for about 1/3 of the entire local design industry. Many small companies have insufficient profitability, but they have solidified a lot of manpower, material and financial resources. Reorganization will facilitate the integration of resources and improve the company's ability to resist risks.
Wuxi, on the other hand, is just a microcosm of China's integrated circuit industry to accelerate independent innovation and enhance the competitiveness of the international market.
Integrated circuits, China is catching up. At present, there are 10 new large-scale integrated circuit production lines on the international market. There are 10 in China. With the increasing demand for downstream IC products, China has become the largest sales market for global semiconductors. , to provide new impetus to the development of the semiconductor industry. By 2020, China's integrated circuit industry will reach one trillion yuan in output value.
