Xiamen's Integrated Circuit Industry Highlights | Semiconductor Council Annual Meeting Held in Xiamen

The daily meeting of the 22nd World Semiconductor Council (hereinafter referred to as the “WSC”) held by San Diego Daily in San Diego, USA, ended on the basis of the “Joint Statement” issued at the annual meeting, which shows that the 23rd World Semiconductor Council Annual Conference It will be held on May 23 next year in Xiamen, China. The conference will be organized by China Semiconductor Industry Association.

The reporter learned that WSC is a non-governmental international organization and its members include six semiconductor associations in the United States, Europe, South Korea, Japan, China and Taiwan, representing more than 95% of global semiconductor industry scale and more than 80% market size. As an important institution for researching and formulating global semiconductor industry development policies, the resolutions formed by WSC not only concern the development of the international semiconductor industry and information industry, but also have a very important influence on the operating activities of semiconductor companies in various countries.

Each session of the WSC Annual Meeting Starlight, the main participants are the chairman and CEO of major semiconductor companies worldwide. Participating companies include Intel, Qualcomm, Samsung, Fujitsu, Panasonic, NXP, TSMC, UMC, SMIC, etc. The flowering of Xiamen at the WSC annual meeting is not only a microcosm of the continued “brick effect” but also reflects Xiamen’s growing position in the global semiconductor industry.

Integrated circuits are large-scale collections of circuits made of semiconductor materials. In recent years, the Xiamen Municipal Committee and the municipal government have attached great importance to and strongly supported the integrated circuit industry, and issued the “Outline of Xiamen's integrated circuit industry development plan” “Xiamen City to accelerate the development of the integrated circuit industry. The "Implementation Opinions" "Xiamen City Accelerates the Implementation of the Integrated Circuit Industry Implementation Regulations", etc., through the policy 'combination boxing' with precision and force, to exert precision on all levels from the top-level design to the specific promotion, strengthen the IC industry chain, innovation chain, The combination of financial chain. At present, Xiamen has formed a complete industrial chain layout covering design, manufacturing, packaging and testing, materials and applications, with Lianxin, Ziguang Zengrui, Sanan, Shilanwei, Tongfu Microelectronics, Corelight. Runze and many other leading projects. As an important carrier for the development of the Xiamen integrated circuit industry, Xiamen Torch Hi-tech Zone has maintained a growth rate of more than 20% in its annual output value since 2015. In 2017, it achieved a total output value of 14.4 billion yuan. Currently, the park has There are nearly 150 integrated circuits and supporting enterprises, and the fifth largest industrial scale in the country.
