SMIC promotes the integration of production and research, and sets an industry benchmark

On the morning of December 3, at the project site of Guoxin semiconductor (Yizheng) Co., Ltd. located in Yizheng Economic Development Zone, workers were operating cranes and heavy trucks to seize the time for infrastructure construction. The total investment of the project is US $99.79 million and the design production capacity is 1.2 million pieces / year. It is mainly engaged in the R & D, manufacturing and sales of 5-inch, 6-inch and 8-inch semiconductor chips. Up to now, the construction of the main plant of phase I of the project has come to an end, and some equipment has entered the site. It is planned to install and debug equipment in the first half of next year. "In order to seize the construction period, we now rent a factory, open the packaging production line, and introduce all semiconductor production equipment from Japan. After the whole project is put into operation, there will be more than 1000 high-end manufacturing equipment. At that time, we will become the largest semiconductor chip manufacturer in Yizheng City." Yang Changhua, head of Guoxin semiconductor company, said.

Semiconductor chip industry is an extremely important strategic industry in the development of national economy. It is widely used in public facilities and military equipment in the fields of information security, computer, mobile phone, water conservancy, electric power and so on. Compared with the huge demand of the domestic market, the volume of domestic semiconductor chips is still small. At present, the semiconductor chips used by domestic enterprises mainly rely on imports, and the key core technologies are completely monopolized by large foreign companies.

Guoxin semiconductor (Yizheng) Co., Ltd. is a Sino Japanese joint venture high-tech enterprise specializing in semiconductor chip manufacturing, chip packaging, semiconductor equipment transformation and other industrial chains. The equipment hardware mainly includes modern semiconductor chip production equipment such as large beam ion implantation machine, submicron stepping lithography machine and plasmon etching machine. The company pays attention to the integration of production and research. In order to set an industry benchmark, the company has established an equipment technology team and production team composed of more than 20 domestic senior researchers. At the same time, it has also hired more foreign experts from Japan and South Korea to continuously strengthen the research and development of new products. At present, the new RF circuit products independently developed by the company have successfully completed the basic design, and the main technical indicators have reached the advanced level of similar products in the world.
