Shen Weiguo believes that in the future, integrated circuits will be technology-oriented, with more and more advanced manufacturing processes and higher integration; at the same time, they will increasingly focus on the application of emerging industries, such as supporting 5G, automotive electronics, and Networking and other development, leading and driving the rapid development of related industries.
Fund size 50 billion yuan
The Shanghai Integrated Circuit Industry Fund was established in 2015. The fund size is RMB 50 billion (RMB, the same below). The fund adopts a “3+1+1” pattern to set up three industry funds, that is, 10 billion yuan for the design industry M&A fund, RMB 10 billion. Yuan Equipment Materials Industry Fund, 30 billion yuan manufacturing fund.
Shen Weiguo pointed out that the Shanghai IC Industrial Investment Fund has completed investments with a contracted amount of more than 20 billion yuan. In the future, the fund will effectively benchmark the development status of high-end chips at home and abroad in mainland China and accelerate the localization of high-end chips in Shanghai.
Shanghai actively supports the semiconductor industry. In May of this year, Shanghai National IC, the smart sensor innovation center construction program has been approved by experts. The two centers were led by Fudan University and Shanghai Micro-Tech Industrial Research Institute. This is the first time that Shanghai has been approved for construction. National manufacturing innovation center.
It is reported that the Shanghai National Integrated Circuit Innovation Center was led by Fudan University, and two well-known integrated circuit manufacturing companies, SMIC and Hua Hong Microelectronics, jointly developed common technologies for integrated circuits. The main focus is on integrated circuits of 5nm and below. Focus on the new device development, advanced simulation and simulation technology, EUV lithography and OPC technology, advanced integrated technology and other four common technologies.
Demand for land-made chips exploded
According to statistics from the mainland Customs, in recent years, mainland IC imports have continued to rise. In 2017, IC imports reached US$26.14 billion, an increase of 14.60%, and reached a record high again, accounting for 68.8% of the world. Reducing import dependence and increasing self-sufficiency The urgent demand will drive the industry to usher in a period of rapid development. Especially after the ZTE incident, the research, development and manufacturing of domestic chips are expected to grow rapidly. Some institutions have forecasted that the mainland's demand for the domestic chip market in 2018 is estimated to be around 45 billion yuan.
