Gathering micro-messages, in the recent “National Integrated Circuit Major Project Moved into Anhui Activities” held in Hefei, Chairman of Changxin Storage Technology Co., Ltd., Wang Ningguo, CEO of Corey IC Co., Ltd. introduced Hefei Changxin Memory Co., Ltd. Project's five-year plan: The construction of the first factory building in January 2018 is completed and equipment installation begins; the 8Gb DDR4 engineering sample will be mass-produced by the end of 2018; the 8Gb LPDDR4 will be mass-produced in 3Q2019; the production capacity will reach 20,000/month by the end of 2019; The second plant construction was planned for the year; 17 nanometer technology research and development was completed in 2021. Wang Ningguo expressed the hope that by the end of 2018, the first self-developed DRAM chip in China could be born in Hefei.
The development of China's DRAM memory is inseparable
Wang Ningguo said that memory, especially DRAM memory, is a very difficult technology. The success of the project can not be separated from the 'right time and good people', first in the 'time of day': The application of memory is very diverse, from the earliest desktop computers, personal computers Smartphones, tablets, big data, and future applications of artificial intelligence are inseparable from memory, and DRAM is even more ubiquitous. For this reason, the DRAM market is booming. Last year, 2017 reached 70 billion U.S. dollars. It may exceed 100 billion U.S. dollars. China consumes at least 1/2 to 1/3 of this market, which is nearly 30 to 50 billion U.S. dollars, but we are now producing zero-volume DRAM chips.
In addition, due to the difficulty of technology conversion, the speed of DRAM upgrade has gradually slowed down. In the 1990s, the storage density increased by 4 times every 3 years, but now it is 1.5-2 times every 4 years. Technology update speed The reduction is actually a good thing for the latecomers, who have the opportunity to achieve a curve overtaking, so the technical delay is meaningful to us.
At the same time, Wang Ningguo called for more equipment, accessories and materials companies to resolve to take root in Hefei. As long as they cooperate with Hefei's industries, they must develop rapidly. Only when Hefei establishes a complete industrial chain can China's integrated circuit industry grow. There is no way to grow up.
Finally, in terms of 'people and', Wang Ningguo said that the Ruili integration was established on July 13, 2016. At that time, there was only 1 person. After 21 months and 630 days, the current employees have reached 1539, equivalent to 2.5 people each day. It was reported that this was a very fast growth in less than two years. At present, there are 447 Taiwanese compatriots in the company and 1013 employees in mainland China, accounting for two-thirds of the total, and Anhui employees account for Two-thirds of mainland employees.
Changxin R&F focuses on independent research and development, and has signed contracts with North China Huachuang
According to Wang Ningguo, in fact, the research and development work of Changxin Ruili has been a year and a half. In terms of components, we have independently developed component module specifications. In terms of design, we have designed new repair lines (E-Fuse). Generated its own patents; In terms of photomasks, it has independently developed Optical Proximity Effect Correction (OPC); On the manufacturing side, 450 engineers with 15 years of average DRAM working experience optimized the process to increase the yield quickly, and developed independently. The most efficient IT system (big data analysis); In testing, we cooperated with several companies to develop a low cost RDBI wafer flow to help them manufacture the cheapest test equipment and reduce costs.
At the same time, Changxin Ruili also independently developed a smart manufacturing system, which can improve yield, productivity and quality. At present, more than 70 employees serve the system. In addition, Changxin Ruili has signed an agreement with China University of Science and Technology, and will 15 Chinese University students work together to make smart manufacturing systems better.
By the end of 2017, Changxin Ruili has applied for 354 patents and plans to apply for 1155 in 2018. Therefore, by the end of 2018, it is expected that the total number of patent applications will reach 1509.
Finally, Wang Ningguo revealed that Changxin Ruili has signed a contract with North Huachuang, and will sign contracts with more domestic equipment and material manufacturers in the future. He hopes to use the Changxin DRAM IDM platform to vigorously support the research and development of domestic semiconductor equipment and materials. And industrialization process.
2. Hefei Jinghe: We are actively importing domestically-made equipment. Three of them have been purchased;
According to the micro-network news, recently held in Hefei, the 'national integrated circuit major project into Anhui activities', Hefei Jinghe Integrated Circuit Co., Ltd. general manager Li Xiang Hubei said, Hefei Jinghe is actively importing domestic equipment, has been evaluated at this stage Six domestic equipment manufacturers, one of which has entered the factory for product verification, two have been installed in the plant, and the remaining three are in preparation. It is expected that within five to ten years, the integrated circuit manufacturing process required by the Hefei industry can be realized. 70% of the total.
According to Li Xiang’s introduction, the Ningjing N1 plant is positioned at 90nm and aluminum process, which is a good entry point for the domestic equipment and materials industry. Next, the N2, N3, and N4 plants will certainly enter 65nm, 45 Nano... At the same time into the copper process, this is a relatively mature field of technology.
At the same time, Li Xianghu said that the factory has entered full-automatic production, and it can be said that it is the world's most advanced smart factory. In terms of technology, the factory has installed 160 equipment, and the yield rate has also reached the level of Taiwan, the most important is the product Has passed reliability verification.
In terms of human resources, Hefei Jinghe currently has 260 Taiwanese technical talents who have more than a decade of working experience in the semiconductor field. At the same time, the company also recruited 800 newcomers in Hefei, and is fully training. It is expected that Left and right can be independent.
3. Hefei Tongfu: built a world-leading LCD driver chip packaging and testing production line in 3 years;
According to the micro-message news, in the recent “National Integrated Circuit Major Project Moved into Anhui Activities” held in Hefei, Shi Lei, President of Tongfu Microelectronics Co., Ltd. stated that after the approval of the '02 Special Project', Hefei Tongfu will be in 2017- 2019 Within three years, a world-leading LCD driver IC packaging and testing production line with more than 10 kinds of domestically-produced 12-inch equipment was built. Domestic equipment and material procurement exceeded RMB 1 billion. It is reported that R&D certification has been completed at Tongfu headquarters and will soon be in Hefei. Tongfu mass production line construction.
Shi Lei said that Hefei Tongfu's target sales revenue in 2018 exceeded 540 million, and the target production capacity would increase 1.5 times. At the same time, three new production lines will be added and the intelligent manufacturing system will be basically completed.
It is worth mentioning that Shi Lei said that thanks to the smooth implementation of the Hefei Ruili project and the active coordination of all levels of government, in March 2018 Hefei Tongfu was selected as the supplier of Hefei Ruili Subcontracting and Testing.
