On July 17, the special policy of Hangzhou City to further encourage the accelerated development of the integrated circuit industry (hereinafter referred to as the "Special Policy") was officially released, a total of fourteen.
Xia Jiliang, director of the Hangzhou Economic and Information Committee, told the reporter that the "Special Policy" focused on supporting integrated circuit enterprise technology innovation, application innovation, and industrial chain integration projects, and is committed to cultivating a number of 'specialized, precise, special, new' integrated circuit enterprises, Hangzhou Create a strong sense of integrated circuit design innovation.
Established a state-owned integrated circuit industry investment platform
The integrated circuit industry is the industry of 'three highs'. The first is talent, the second is capital, and the third is technology. It has typical high talents, high thresholds, and high-tech characteristics.
The "Special Policy" clarifies that the special funds at all levels are arranged annually to support the development of the integrated circuit industry in Hangzhou, and the conditions, amount, and proportion of funding are explained. The scope of support includes R&D investment, IP (Intellectual Property) purchase. , streamline manufacturing, new or technological transformation projects, large-scale local applications of independent chips (modules) and new professional technical service platforms.
For example, for integrated circuit enterprises, for projects with a total investment of more than 3 million yuan (inclusive) for research and development, 20% of their actual R&D investment, and a subsidy of up to 10 million yuan;
For another example, for the newly-built technology or integrated technical service platform, 30% of the project equipment's self-raised investment will be given, and the maximum subsidy will not exceed 5 million yuan.
It is worth noting that the "Special Policy" proposes to establish a state-owned investment platform for integrated circuit industries, entrust professional institutions to operate, enter the IC industry capital field by means of equity investment, and encourage and guide social capital to support the Hangzhou IC industry project.
According to reports, the "Special Policy" will be implemented from August 12, 2018. All the legal entities (including foreign-invested enterprises) who are registered in the administrative area of Hangzhou, tax registered and engaged in integrated circuit design, manufacturing, packaging and testing, and supporting support. Can enjoy.
'This policy, I generally feel very grounded!' Yin Ming, general manager of Hangzhou Zhongke Microelectronics Co., Ltd. attended the press conference. After reading 14 new policies, he told reporters that R&D, IP purchase, mask The subsidies for printing and other aspects can be enjoyed by the company. 'Our annual R&D investment is tens of millions of yuan. This new policy is very real.'
Provincial micro-nano technology research and development open platform landing Qingshan Lake
After the press conference of the "Special Policy", the site also held a signing of the Zhejiang Micro-Nano Technology R&D and Open Platform.
The platform was jointly built by China Light and Power Haikang Group, National Intelligent Sensor Innovation Center and Qingshan Lake Technology City Management Committee. The goal is to develop a 12-inch high-end chip technology as the core, covering the open platform of general chip design and testing services.
Chen Guoquan, director of the Qingshan Lake Technology City Management Committee, said that the main functions of the open platform include the characteristic process R&D pilot, sensor and integrated circuit design, IP core in-depth development, featured chip tape foundry, wafer and chip inspection, EDA operation and maintenance. , equipment verification, product compliance and promotion, talent training and other services.
The micro-nano industry covers many fields such as integrated circuits, sensors, and MEMS. It has broad prospects. However, the industry barriers are high, equipment purchase and daily operation investment are very large, and small and medium-sized enterprises are unbearable.
The launch of the R&D open platform will forcefully change this situation and provide technical services and solutions for more companies, research institutes and innovation teams in IC design and manufacturing. 'Chen Guoquan said.
It is reported that Zhejiang Province Micro-Nano Technology R&D and Open Platform will be located in Qingshan Lake, Wei Na Zhizhi Town. The town has introduced 21 industrial projects with a total investment of about 6.3 billion yuan, and gathered 18 experts from the 'Thousand Talents Program'. Including the chip design, semiconductor equipment and other micro-nano industry main areas.
Create the capital of integrated circuit design innovation
The integrated circuit industry is a strategic, basic and leading industry for national economic and social development. It is an important support for transforming the mode of economic development, accelerating the transformation of old and new kinetic energy, and promoting the high-quality development of economy and society.
In the whole country, Hangzhou is one of the cities that developed the integrated circuit industry earlier. However, Hangzhou's advantages in this industry are mainly concentrated in the design field – it was selected as one of the first seven IC industry design bases in the country, and 'Hangzhou Design' Ranked 5th in the national cities, gathering more than 85% of IC design enterprises in the province and more than 95% of IC design revenue.
In the new era, how does Hangzhou's strong 'core' road go?
'In terms of specific development ideas, we must not only 'longen the board', but also play a good role in the design industry, and further pull the long board; we must 'compensate the short board', make up the materials, chip and equipment manufacturing and other fields. Leg', vigorously promote material production, chip manufacturing and equipment manufacturing projects in Hangzhou. 'Xia Jiliang said that the "Hangzhou IC Industry Development Plan" released last year clarified the development idea of "design-driven manufacturing".
Looking at the "Special Policy", its two major points are to encourage design companies and production enterprises to become bigger and stronger - to provide policy support for the full design process of eligible enterprises, to encourage industrial materials production, equipment manufacturing and other large projects to land in Hangzhou. .
It is understood that before the introduction of the New Deal, the policy drafting team investigated the development policies of integrated circuits industry in Wuhan, Hefei, Nanjing, Xiamen and other cities, and consulted widely with enterprises, industry associations, experts and other opinions.
'The spring of the development of Hangzhou IC industry is coming!' The Secretary General of Zhejiang Radio Frequency Industry Alliance, Hangzhou Yonggao Technology Co., Ltd. Wang Yonghe said excitedly.
