Beijing Shuangyi Microelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Shuangyi Microelectronics") plans to invest 1 billion yuan in the Beijing Yizhuang Economic and Technological Development Zone (hereinafter referred to as the "Development Zone") to build the only one in the country with large-scale mass production capabilities. Advanced process technology production line for foundry services of gallium arsenide microwave integrated circuit (GaAsMMIC) chips. The project is expected to be put into production in early 2019.
According to the relevant person in charge of Shuangyi Microelectronics, after the project is completed, the 6-inch GaAs MMIC chip foundry will have a capacity of 20,000 pieces per month.
Since the mid-1990s, GaAs MMIC has become an indispensable IC component for the wireless communications industry, and has basically replaced low-performance silicon-based integrated circuits in the RF and microwave fields. Because the process of manufacturing gallium arsenide devices is much more difficult than that of silicon devices, so far, no mature company in China can produce gallium arsenide MMIC chips. All gallium arsenide MMIC chips required by mobile phone manufacturers rely on imports. China's semiconductor industry and communication industry have caused huge hidden dangers. It is reported that the ultimate goal of the project is to become the world's top supplier of microwave integrated circuits (MMIC), to meet the domestic market's urgent demand for gallium arsenide MMIC chips, and to reverse the unfavorable situation that domestic gallium arsenide MMIC chips are completely dependent on imports.
Beijing Shuangyi Microelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. is a technology startup that aims to develop new solutions to the challenges encountered in the 5G and IoT millimeter wave market, providing high-performance RF components. Shuangyi Microelectronics GaAs monolithic microwave integrated circuit research and development and industrialization project will lease part of the plant and site of Beijing Yandong Microelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. to build, through renovation and reconstruction to build the country's only advanced mass production capacity Process technology production line for foundry services of MMIC chips.
The Shuangyi Microelectronics GaAs monolithic microwave integrated circuit R & D and industrialization project settled in the development zone and leased the Yandong Microelectronics factory building, indicating that the concentration effect of the integrated circuit industry in Yizhuang Development Zone is increasing. Today, the Beijing Yizhuang Development Zone has gathered nearly 100 upstream and downstream integrated circuit companies. It is estimated that by 2020, the integrated circuit industry in the development zone can achieve an annual industrial output value of 50 billion yuan, a profit of 16 billion yuan, and a tax of 1.6 billion yuan.
