On July 7, the United Microelectronics Center (UMEC), jointly established by China Electronics and Chongqing Municipal People's Government, was officially unveiled.
According to reports, the project plans a total investment of about 10 billion yuan, will create 8-inch and 12-inch high-end specialty process integrated circuit manufacturing pilot platform, integrated circuit collaborative design platform, heterogeneous three-dimensional integrated packaging platform.
UMEC will undertake national, local and enterprise science and technology innovation projects and military-civilian integration projects, which can provide a full set of IP required for integrated circuits 'design-process-products', which will help automotive electronics, optical communications, artificial intelligence and other products.
UMEC will bring together high-end talents of ICs at home and abroad in Chongqing, promote the breakthrough of Chongqing IC core technology, form advanced product design and high-end process manufacturing technology achievements, build a leading joint R&D and collaborative innovation platform, and create a good integrated circuit industry ecology.
