This "world-class material" will become a fertile ground for the development of the integrated circuit industry, and the beautiful scenery will attract a good project, InnoSeco | a batch | industry
In the western part of Shanghai, along the beautiful blue and green "blue pearl chain", a "micro city" resembling a forest town is gradually taking shape, connected by landscape loops and small trains within the area. This is the Huawei Qingpu R&D Center project, which is expected to be launched next year and will bring in more than 30000 technology R&D personnel in the future.
Not far away in Jiashan, Zhejiang, there have also been good news recently: Jiashan Fudan Research Institute has officially opened, consisting of Xiangfudang Design and Testing Center and Xinda Park Small and Medium sized Test Base. It will carry out basic research and industrialization promotion in the fields of integrated circuits, communication electronics, big data, etc.
In the Fenhu High tech Zone of Wujiang District, Suzhou, Jiangsu, the global semiconductor industry leader InnoTech has landed and laid out its Suzhou factory. Since mass production in June 2021, it has supplied over 270 million silicon-based gallium nitride chips to the market, accounting for more than 95% of domestic gallium nitride product shipments.
Huawei Qingpu R&D Center, Jiashan Fudan Research Institute, and InnoTech are just a microcosm of the booming development of the integrated circuit industry in the Yangtze River Delta Ecological Green Integration Development Demonstration Zone. The beautiful scenery has attracted a new economy. On this fertile land full of water and charm of Jiangnan, a group of leading enterprises, research institutions, and financial institutions in the integrated circuit industry have begun to layout, releasing incredibly strong industrial development momentum. On the afternoon of August 18th, the joint promotion and cultivation conference for the integrated circuit industry in the pilot zone was held in Jinze Town. Jinze, Zhujiajiao, Lili, Xitang, and Yaozhuang towns will jointly build a highland for the integrated circuit industry.
The Yangtze River Delta Ecological Green Integration Development Demonstration Zone is known as a "world-class good material". What industry should be developed on this "good material"? Since the official unveiling of the demonstration zone, this issue has been frequently raised. Overall, technology empowerment, innovation leadership, environmental friendliness, and high industrial level are the principles for the development of industries in demonstration zones. As early as the 2020 version of the "Guidelines for Industrial Development in Demonstration Zones", five types of industries were clearly included, namely functional headquarters economy, characteristic service economy, integrated digital economy, cutting-edge innovation economy, and ecological lake area economy.
Just last month, the Industrial Development Plan for the Yangtze River Delta Ecological Green Integration Development Demonstration Zone was officially released, further clarifying the five industries mentioned above. It pointed out that in the digital economy, we should layout the research and industrialization of technologies such as the metaverse, Beidou navigation, quantum communication, and next-generation mobile communication, and develop new industries, formats, and models such as "Beidou+", "AI+", "5G+", and "big data+". Integrated circuits are the industry that is suitable for development on this "good material".
In the pilot launch zone of the demonstration zone, a group of leading enterprises such as InnoTech, Jiaxin Semiconductor, Zhizhan Technology, and Pachiweiye have gathered, as well as a group of research and development institutions such as Jiashan Fudan Research Institute and Suzhou Microelectronics Integration Technology Research Institute, as well as a group of financial institutions such as Juntong Capital, Fenhu High tech Zone Industrial Guidance Fund, and Jiashan Integrated Circuit Fund. The development of the integrated circuit industry cluster has inherent conditions.
"The industrial resource endowments of the five towns in the pilot zone each have their own characteristics. Some have a good talent environment and strong research and development capabilities, some have sufficient land reserves and broad development space for the manufacturing industry, and some have attracted industry leaders and leading enterprises. A complete upstream and downstream industrial chain can be laid out around the 'leaders'. As for the so-called' co introduction and co cultivation 'of industries, we hope to form a joint force for industry attraction in the future. The five towns are cooperative relationships rather than competitive relationships. Good projects can be landed in the R&D center, pilot testing room, manufacturing factory, etc. in one go in the five towns in the pilot zone." Zhang Jingyue, Deputy Director of the Economic Development Office of Jinze Town, told reporters.
According to the agreement on co introduction and co education, the five towns in the demonstration zone will jointly promote the layout of the entire industry chain from integrated circuit design, packaging to material manufacturing, while fully leveraging the functions of platforms such as Xicen Science and Technology Innovation Center, Suzhou South Station Science and Technology Innovation New City, and Xiangfudang Science and Technology Innovation Center, to build a collaborative innovation ecosystem of "innovation policy sources+achievement transformation". On August 18th, the "Chain 40" Integrated Circuit Industry Alliance was officially launched during the event. The alliance is composed of 40 member enterprises in the pilot launch area, aiming to build a platform for the coordinated development of the integrated circuit industry in five towns and promote cross regional coupling and linkage of technology and industry.
"InnoTech Suzhou Factory is a factory that produces third-generation semiconductors on a large scale. In the future, we will continue to make efforts in scientific research and research, fully guarantee the research and development testing of third-generation semiconductor wafers and related products, and contribute to the development of high-tech industries in the demonstration zone." said Zhong Shan, Chief Financial Officer of InnoTech Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Chen Enhua, consultant of Jiaxin Semiconductor Equipment Technology Co., Ltd., said that the company has built a domestic semiconductor equipment industrial base in Xitang Town. "In October of this year, the 140000 square meter Jiaxin Semiconductor New Base will be completed and put into operation. In the future, it will leverage the opportunity and advantages of integrated development in the Yangtze River Delta to assist in the localization of chip manufacturing equipment."
"The integrated circuit industry is the core and cornerstone of modern information society, with huge market potential and strategic value. The Yangtze River Delta region is the most important integrated circuit development and production base in China. With the construction of the Yangtze River Delta digital trunk line as the driving force, Qingpu will focus on original innovation and improving the ability to tackle key areas, accelerate the construction of an 'innovation field' and 'incubator' for the integrated circuit industry, and comprehensively enhance the competitiveness of the regional integrated circuit industry," said the relevant person in charge of Qingpu District.
