This year, Nanchang ’s investment in “Nanchang Optics Valley” with the LED optoelectronics industry at its core ushered in a major breakthrough: In terms of LED high-end core equipment MOCVD, China Micro Semiconductor Equipment (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “China Micro Semiconductor Equipment” Company "), so that the LED industry bid farewell to the history of only importing core equipment MOCVD from the United States. The establishment of China Microelectronics Equipment Corporation ’s high-end equipment MOCVD production project has injected new blood into the core competitiveness of the Jiangxi LED industry, further developed and expanded the Nanchang LED industry chain, greatly enhanced the development level of the electronic information equipment industry, and promoted "Nanchang Optics Valley has become China's largest LED production base with the highest technology level and the most complete industrial chain.
In order to create a "big powerhouse" with independent intellectual property rights, China Micro-Semiconductor Equipment Co., Ltd. started to develop MOCVD equipment. After nearly 7 years of efforts, it finally officially entered the market at the end of 2016, breaking the equipment monopoly situation in the United States and Germany. "It took only one year for our company to occupy 70% of the domestic market and become one of the top two in the global MOCVD equipment field." Said Zhou Jianfu, deputy general manager of Nanchang Zhongwei Semiconductor Equipment Company.
Liu Junlin, executive deputy director of the National Silicon-based LED Engineering Technology Research Center of Nanchang University, said that the core equipment of the LED industry is MOCVD, which determines the photoelectric performance of LEDs. China ’s MOCVD equipment with independent intellectual property rights is manufactured in Nanchang. Industrial development plays a driving role, and it is no longer constrained by foreign technology, allowing enterprises to steadily produce.
"After the contract was signed and settled in December last year, Nanchang High-tech Zone has found a transition factory for us. As of the end of March this year, our company has received about 200 cavities of MOCVD equipment orders. Such high efficiency stems from the 'heavy capital and light assets of the high-tech zone' "Investment model." Zhou Jianfu told reporters: "The second phase of the project will start construction in 2019." In Nanchang, there are still many companies like China Micro Semiconductor Equipment Corporation that are optimistic about the future, are satisfied with the investment environment and recognize the maturity of the industry .
In recent years, Nanchang City has always focused on the core of the LED industry, and strived to build an ecological system to achieve group development. With Shenzhen Zhaochi, Zhuoyi Technology, Rainbow Group, Emecore, China Microelectronics, Zhongsheng Optoelectronics and other listed companies, central enterprises and industry leaders settled, Nanchang High-tech Zone LED industry core extension, annual chip production capacity It will exceed 30 million pieces and become the country's main epitaxial and chip production base; the annual production capacity of high-end large-cavity MOCVD equipment will exceed 300 cavities, which is expected to become the world's largest production base for MOCVD equipment.
Xiong Xingmin, Director of the Second Division of the China Merchants Bureau of the Hi-tech Zone (Photovoltaic Optoelectronics Investment Promotion Group) believes that China ’s MOCVD equipment with independent intellectual property rights has been manufactured in Nanchang, opening up the 'last mile' of the entire industrial chain of the Nanchang LED industry, allowing Nanchang Enterprises have grasped their own lifeblood and never have to worry about being blocked by technology in the international market.
