China speeds up the application of IC industry

"Before 2015, the supply of domestic ICs in China was less than 20%, so there is still a lot of market space for local ICs," said Zhuang Yuanqi, vice president of marketing for China Resources Resources Shanghua in a recent seminar. According to him, according to September 2010, the State Council released the contents of “Some Policies to Further Encourage the Development of Software Industry and Integrated Circuit Industry”, which will greatly stimulate and support the further development of the domestic IC industry. At the same time, Xu Xiaotian, executive vice president of the China Semiconductor Association, also revealed that the association is joining more than a dozen experts in scientific research schools. He wrote a letter to Wen Jiabao, the country’s prime minister, on the issues concerning the use of bank card chips in the future, and the prime minister has asked the secretary to respond. Operation, the project was granted to Zhou Xiaochuan, Governor of the People's Bank of China, and the specific implementation has not yet been released. However, this positive news brings no doubt that the development of China's IC is an antidote.

The government vigorously supported the arrangement according to the 12th Five-Year Plan for Integrated Circuits. Zhuang Yuanqi believes that the focus of the future industrial development model is still on innovation. Model innovation is an important choice for enterprises to stand out from the crowd, and IC design will also show scale development. For the manufacturing industry, the continuous innovation of manufacturing processes and the development of featured manufacturing processes are the focus.

With the development of communications, 3G, and energy-saving industries, the rapid development of emerging industries represented by mobile Internet, triple play, Internet of Things and cloud computing, electric vehicles and new energy has become a new driving force for the development of the integrated circuit industry. According to the requirements of the 12th Five-Year Plan for Integrated Circuits, energy conservation, emission reduction, and increase of production capacity will become hot spots for the government and society. How to do energy-saving emission reduction at the same time, does not affect the user experience, how to enhance product operability, practicality, these should be placed in front of IC designers need to solve the problem. In order to help customers provide more choices and more effectively count the time for short product development, Zhuang Yuanqi said: “The one-stop service of China Resources Shanghua is attentive to customers, providing multiple choice process platforms, 6+8-inch manufacturing platform combinations, Diversified cooperation model, one-stop industrial chain service, and high-value-added full-service, all strive for customer success and ensure a win-win situation."

China's IC design maintains high growth In 2010, China's IC design also reached a scale of approximately US$5.5 billion, an increase of 34.8% year-on-year, exceeding the growth rate of China’s IC of 29.8%, and is expected to exceed 11.2 billion in 2013. From the data of ICInsights below, we can see that the threshold of China's top ten IC design companies in 2010 has reached 100 million. Compared with the top ten IC design companies in the world, there is still potential and space for development. With a huge market in China, the design industry and manufacturing industry can work closely together to effectively increase the competitiveness of China's IC industry.

Green power core "core"

The world's attention to energy conservation and emission reduction has promoted the development of green industries. According to a survey conducted by China Energy Conservation Certification Center on the standby energy consumption and energy saving potential of household appliances in China, the standby energy consumption accounts for approximately 10% of the total energy consumption of household appliances. Countries around the world have issued energy conservation standards. The Chinese energy conservation standard is GB24850-2010. Currently, lighting consumes 20% of the world's electricity, and energy-saving lighting is imperative. The government’s short-term plan for lighting is to replace white-knit lamps with energy-saving lamps. The long-term goal will be LED lighting. Therefore, more and more companies are beginning to enter the LED industry.

Wu Tianyu, Director of China Resources Shanghua Design Service Center, said: "At this stage, China's power management market is more stable and has less stamina." In 2010, the Chinese power chip market escaped the impact of the financial crisis. It reversed the momentum of the market decline in 2009 and achieved a substantial rebound, with a growth rate of 31.5% and revenue of 38.73 billion yuan. It is expected to maintain steady growth in the next three years, with a compound annual growth rate of 8.92%.

Because LED has the advantages of green, environmental protection and energy saving, the growth of this part has been very fast in recent years. From 2007 to 2010, China's LED market has a compound annual growth rate of 17.7%, and it is expected to grow 23% in the future.

In order to improve the market of LED products, CSMC provides a comprehensive power management chip process solution and the most representative LED driver chip technology. The company's small-panel LED backlight uses a 0.35um-0.5um mixed-signal process for charge pumps and linear structures. For large-size panel LED backlights, 200V SOIBCD is used for the boost structure. In addition, CSMC successfully developed and mass-produced the ultra-high pressure BCD process. At the same time, its 8 inch production line, which holds 19% of its shares, also introduced a number of new BCD and 0.13-micron process platforms to meet customers' needs in the emerging semiconductor application market. . The BCD process is an advanced monolithic integrated process technology and is a good choice for IC manufacturing processes such as power management, display driving, and automotive electronics, and has a broad market prospect. In the future, the BCD process will continue to differentiate and develop in the three directions of high pressure, high power, and high density. The combination of BCD technology and SOI technology is a very important technological trend.

Strengthen cooperation with Shenzhen in order to better provide services to customers and strengthen cooperation with the central region. China Resources Shanghua cooperated with the Shenzhen Industrial Base (ICC) to form a strategic partnership. At the meeting, Chuang Yuanqi, vice president of sales of China Resources Shanghua Market, and Zhou Shengming, director of Shenzhen IC Industry Base, together started the awarding ceremony for strategic partners of the value chain and cooperated with each other to promote the further development of the Chinese semiconductor market.
