On September 18, the first domestic silicon carbide intelligent power module (SiCIPM) production line was formally put into operation at Xiamen Xinguang Runze Technology Co., Ltd., marking another important breakthrough in China's strategic emerging industry of silicon carbide chips.
Xinguang Runze's breakthrough of "from 0 to 1" is a microcosm of the high-quality development of Xiamen semiconductor and integrated circuit industry. The semiconductor and integrated circuit industry is one of the 100 billion industry chain groups that Xiamen is focusing on. Since the beginning of this year, based on the "double 100 billion" work deployment of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, Xiamen has deeply cultivated the layout of the entire industrial chain of semiconductors and integrated circuits, implemented precise investment invitations, seized the "leaders" in the industry, attracted well-known companies and R & D technology transfer, and was driven by projects To enhance "the right to speak."
Xinguang Runze's expert team introduced that silicon carbide products are widely used in port heavy machinery, white goods, high-speed rail, data room, new energy vehicle charging piles and other fields. They can provide high-end core power components for these industry devices, Significant advantages. In recent years, the international semiconductor market has continued to maintain a high-speed growth trend. Among them, the global market size of smart power modules exceeds 10 billion US dollars, and the total market demand in China accounts for more than 70%, but the self-sufficiency rate is less than 7%.
"How to break through the status quo of being controlled by people, find a breakthrough in the healthy development of China's chip industry, and become the direction for China's semiconductor industry and enterprises. This is also our original intention to build China's first 'SiCIPM production line project'." Director of Xiamen Xinguang Runze Technology Co., Ltd. Chang Zhuo Tinghou said that the company will be committed to becoming a unicorn in the emerging semiconductor industry.
A series of good news highlights the effectiveness of Xiamen's entire industrial chain layout: Xiamen Lianxin announced in February this year that it has successfully trial-produced 28-nanometer High-K / MetalGate process customer products, with a trial production yield of 98%, which has become the mainland China region. The 12-inch wafer fab with the most advanced technology and the highest yield rate in operation; in August, the Xing Ye IC Industrial Park project under the MediaTek Division of Taiwan ’s fourth and the world ’s first integrated circuit design company officially settled in Xiamen Torch High-tech Zone , It is planned to achieve revenue of 200 million yuan in 2018; during this year's investment fair, China Development Bank and Xiamen Tongfu Integrated Circuits Advanced Packaging Testing Industrialization Base (Phase 1) signed an investment and financing cooperation agreement. The project has passed the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology The organization's assessment and demonstration and thematic consultations will be included in the national "13th Five-Year Plan" on the layout of major integrated circuit productivity.
Recently, Xiamen Youxun high-speed chip has developed the world's leading XGS-PON10Gbps OLT burst receiving chip and the domestic leading 100GbpsTIA chip for 5G mobile communications and ultra-broadband home access networks. As a local integrated circuit chip design company, Youxun has never stopped exploring the core technology of integrated circuits. Ke Xing, Chairman of Youxun, said that the company's growth is inseparable from the guidance and support of the party committee and government. Xiamen's full factor input in the semiconductor and integrated circuit industry has stimulated the company's innovative vitality and created a good industrial ecology and growth space.
Since the beginning of this year, Xiamen has continued to strengthen the construction of industrial carriers, speed up the construction of national-level industrial bases for integrated circuits, IC design and trading centers, and cross-strait integrated circuit industrial parks. Gather innovation elements, build various public service platforms, encourage scientific research institutes and leading enterprises to carry out advanced technology research and development; strengthen talent support, adopt special policy support, multi-channel cooperation and other methods to vigorously introduce and cultivate talents urgently needed in the semiconductor and integrated circuit industries.
Collaborative innovation will become a key word in the development of the semiconductor and integrated circuit industries. As an important carrier of the semiconductor and integrated circuit industry in Xiamen, the relevant person in charge of the Torch High-tech Zone Management Committee told reporters that it will continue to take the "double 100 billion" work as the lead, play the role of the semiconductor and integrated circuit leading enterprises to attract upstream and downstream supporting Enterprise development guides the collaborative innovation of upstream and downstream enterprises, while promoting the integration of resources in Xiamen and other integrated industries such as the flat panel display industry, computer and communication equipment industry, software and information service industries, and exerting integration advantages to achieve industrial collaboration.
