The integrated circuit industry is a strategic emerging industry of the country and an important foundation for national economic and social informationization. It plays an important role in adjusting the industrial structure, transforming development methods, stimulating economic growth, promoting social employment, and safeguarding national security. From the distribution of China's IC industry in 2010, it can be seen that the distribution of China's IC industry clusters has further manifested and an industrial spatial structure has been initially formed that is concentrated in the three core regions of the Yangtze River Delta, the Bohai Rim, and the Pearl River Delta. In 2010, sales revenue of the three regional integrated circuit industries accounted for nearly 95% of the country's overall industrial scale.
The Yangtze River Delta region, which includes Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, is the most important integrated circuit development and production base in China, and occupies an important position in the domestic integrated circuit industry. In the Yangtze River Delta region, a relatively complete integrated circuit industry chain including research and development, design, chip manufacturing, packaging and testing, and supporting industries has been initially formed. In 2010, sales of the integrated circuit industry in the region reached 9.843 billion yuan, accounting for 67.9% of the nation's integrated circuit industry.
The development of the integrated circuit industry in the Yangtze River Delta has now exhibited the following characteristics:
1. Rapid expansion of industry scale In 2010, the sales revenue of the integrated circuit industry in the Yangtze River Delta region was 97.84 billion yuan, accounting for 67.9% of the national industry. A large number of integrated circuit design, wafer manufacturing, packaging and testing and support industries have emerged. National leader and leader. At present, 55% of domestic integrated circuit manufacturing companies, 80% of packaging and testing companies, and nearly 50% of integrated circuit design companies are concentrated in the region.
2. The industrial structure tends to be optimized After years of development, the integrated circuit industry in the Yangtze River Delta has formed a relatively complete industrial chain with a large number of key enterprises and has become an important base for the development of China's integrated circuit industry. By the end of 2010, there were 195 integrated circuit design companies in the Yangtze River Delta region, accounting for about 40% of the country's total. As the most concentrated area for chip production, 56% of the country's production lines are located in the Yangtze River Delta region, with a total of 29; The area also has more than 100 integrated circuit (including discrete devices) packaging and testing companies, including about 30 large-scale enterprises; in addition, the area also has abundant monocrystalline silicon, epitaxial wafers, polished wafers, frames, Gold wire, solder ball, photoresist, sorting machine, chip mounter, cleaning machine, glue removal machine, de-flashing machine and other special materials and equipment support enterprises.
3. Significant enhancement of innovation capability The integrated circuit industry in the Yangtze River Delta has always insisted on independent innovation and development. It has continuously promoted the first breakthrough in all aspects of the IC industry chain: the IC design industry broke through the 40nm mark, and in January 2011, Spreadtrum Communications released the world’s first 40nm technology TD-SCDMA multi-mode communication chip, is also the first commercial 40nm chip in the world's 3G field, marking the Yangtze River Delta IC design technology is gradually entering the world's leading industry; integrated circuit manufacturing breakthrough 45nm, in the national science and technology Based on the special support, SMIC has completed 45nm technology research and development, and has the ability to industrialize; integrated circuit packaging technology has achieved new results, in addition to foreign investment, joint ventures, Jiangsu Changjiang Electronics Technology Co., Ltd., Nantong Fujitsu Microelectronics Co., Ltd., Wuxi China Resources Ansheng Technology Co., Ltd. and other companies continue to make breakthroughs in technologies such as BGA, SIP, QFN, WLCSP, CSP, and MCP; the industrialization and commercialization of key products in the integrated circuit equipment materials industry, and successful research and development of China Microelectronics' 45 -32nm plasma dielectric etcher, independently developed by Seminye Semiconductor "12 inches single crystal wafer cleaning equipment," Shanghai New proud successfully developed 8-inch SOI wafers and so achieve good industrialization.
4. Intensive industrial development The Yangtze River Delta integrated circuit industry is mainly distributed in Shanghai, Wuxi, Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Judging from the development status of various regions, the Shanghai area has become an integrated circuit manufacturing base with a complete industrial chain. As the best industrial base in the country, the Shanghai integrated circuit industry has basically formed a complete industrial chain including development, design, chip manufacturing, packaging and testing, and supporting industries and service industries, and gradually formed an interactive trend. At present, the number of fast-growing IC design companies in Shanghai is close to 100, and the chip manufacturing industry is at the core of the domestic market. The major domestic chip manufacturing companies are located here. In addition, there are more than 40 IC support companies in Shanghai.
Wuxi is the current domestic integrated circuit industrial base that focuses on manufacturing. The Wuxi microelectronics industry started in the 1970s. It was the southern base of the country's two major microelectronics bases at the time. The construction of the national "908" project has further driven the rapid development of the integrated circuit industry in Wuxi. At present, Wuxi has formed a complete industrial chain from integrated circuit design, software development, circuit masking, chip processing, and package testing.
Suzhou has become an integrated circuit packaging base for the full-scale development of the industry. As one of the earliest regions to open up to the outside world, Suzhou has attracted a large number of international semiconductor companies to invest and settle into the largest semiconductor packaging and testing industry in China. At present, Suzhou has formed an industrial structure that focuses on the packaging and testing industry, and the simultaneous development of integrated circuit design and chip manufacturing.
Hangzhou has now developed into an integrated circuit design base with a superior natural cultural environment. Relying on its own superior natural and humanistic environment, Hangzhou has always taken the integrated circuit design industry as the top priority for the development of the city's integrated circuit industry. At present, Hangzhou has nurtured a group of excellent integrated circuit design companies such as Silan Microelectronics, Hangzhou Guoxin, and Wei Rui Dentsu. In addition, in the areas of chip manufacturing, semiconductor materials, etc., Hangzhou also has a certain foundation for development.
5. Rapid development of key enterprises Among the top 50 integrated circuit companies in China, the number of enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta region accounted for 68%, reaching 34 companies. Among them, there are 7 integrated circuit design companies, with a total sales income of 7.61 billion yuan; 16 integrated circuit packaging and testing companies, with a total sales income of 30.90 billion yuan; and 11 chip manufacturing companies, with a total sales revenue of 37.57 billion yuan. The development and expansion of key enterprises has laid a good foundation for the further development and growth of the integrated circuit industry in the Yangtze River Delta Region.
In the future, with the further improvement of the industrial environment in the Yangtze River Delta region, the IC industry in the region will continue to maintain its momentum of rapid development. The Yangtze River Delta will become even more prominent in the domestic and even the world's integrated circuit industry.
