Yesterday, the Hangzhou Municipal Government Information Office and the Municipal Economic and Information Committee held a press conference to officially release the “Special Policy for Hangzhou to Further Encourage the Development of the Integrated Circuit Industry” (hereinafter referred to as the “Special Policy”). The three major safeguard measures, accurately supporting the six major areas, provide a strong guarantee for Hangzhou to become an integrated circuit design innovation capital.
IC industry, Hangzhou originally had material and design advantages
The integrated circuit is hailed as the 'food' of modern industry. Without the support of the integrated circuit industry, there is no driving force for the development of the digital economy.
In terms of integrated circuits, Hangzhou originally had certain industrial advantages. Xia Jiliang, director of the Party Committee of the Municipal Economic and Information Committee, said that Hangzhou is one of the first seven IC design bases in the country, gathering more than 85% of the province's integrated circuits. Design companies and more than 95% of design revenue. In 2017, the city's integrated circuit companies realized a main business income of 16.5 billion yuan, of which more than 50% is design revenue, in embedded CPU, microwave millimeter wave RF integrated circuits, digital sound Video and other segments are at the domestic leading level.
According to reports, Hangzhou's main competitive advantages in integrated circuit materials and integrated circuit design. But for the integrated circuit industry, manufacturing and packaging testing in two major areas, the lack of obvious.
Fourteen incentive policies
Accurately support six major areas
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.
In order to give full play to the leading role of the integrated circuit industry in the information economy. Yesterday, the Hangzhou Municipal Government also issued a "special policy" to further encourage the development of the integrated circuit industry.
The 14 special policies issued this time mainly clarify the annual arrangement of special funds at various levels to support the development of the integrated circuit industry in the city, and explain the funding conditions, amount, proportion, etc. R&D investment, IP (intellectual property) purchase, film production, new or technological transformation projects, large-scale local application of independent chips (modules), and new professional technical service platforms.
Xia Jiliang introduced that the support projects introduced by the government in the past mainly focused on subsidies for infrastructure, plant and other hardware. This time, the focus was on 'soft support' in research and development, software purchase and so on.
For example, investing more than 3 million yuan (inclusive) in the R&D of the integrated circuit industry, giving 20% of its actual R&D investment, up to a maximum of 10 million yuan; for integrated circuit companies with an investment scale of 50 million yuan or more The newly built or technical renovation project will give 15% of its actual investment (including equipment and software investment), and the subsidy of a single enterprise will not exceed 35 million yuan.
According to reports, the "Special Policy" will be implemented from August 12, 2018. All enterprises in the administrative area of Hangzhou, registered in the taxation and engaged in integrated circuit design, manufacturing, packaging and testing, and supporting enterprises (including foreign-funded enterprises) ) can enjoy.
Create an industry R&D open platform
Give full play to the advantages of Hangzhou
Yesterday, Qingshanhu Science and Technology City and China Light and Power Haikang Group, the National Intelligent Sensor Innovation Center held a signing ceremony to jointly build Zhejiang Province micro-nano technology research and development open platform, and actively promote the Yangtze River Delta integrated circuit industry collaborative innovation and development.
According to reports, Zhejiang Province Micro-Nano Technology R&D Open Platform is a public service platform clearly defined by the Hangzhou Municipal Government and the CLP Haikang Group Strategic Cooperation Agreement. The goal is to develop a 12-inch high-end chip process as the core, covering the general chip design and testing. The open platform of the service. 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, and products. Standards and referrals, talent training and other services.
